Former Big Brother Naija star Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has spoken out about the challenges of being a woman in Nigeria, saying it “feels like a crime.”

Her remarks came as she criticized Nigerians for not taking actress Regina Daniels’ rape allegations seriously.

On her X handle, Tacha wrote:

“Being a woman in this part of the world feels like a crime. Someone cries out that she has been raped, drugged, and beaten, and instead of outrage, society starts dragging her for flying private jets and traveling the world. So because she lived well, she deserves to be abused? That’s the sickness of this society—a place where people justify violence against women but envy their freedom. At this point, what hope does the girl child even have? #ProtectWomen #JusticeforReginaDaniels.”

Former BBNaija winner Phyna also reacted to Regina Daniels’ allegations, expressing her dismay on X:

“A girl gets injected and raped in a man’s house, steady hospital yet everybody is laughing. Omo…Being a woman is hard.”

Tacha’s comments have sparked a wider conversation online about violence against women and the need for societal accountability in Nigeria.
