Nigerian reality TV star turned actress and influencer, Natacha Akide popularly known as Tacha is still till today one of the most famous names to come out of the Big Brother Naija franchise. Over the years, Tacha has been able to build a very strong following of Titans for herself due in part to her personality, but also because of her “don’t care” attitude which also comes out a lot in her fashion choices.

Tacha’s outfits can sometimes be very daring and bold but sometimes, the outfits go too far for people and it pushes past what they’re comfortable seeing. Today, we’ll be counting down 5 of Tacha’s looks that have caused her to receive backlash and embarrassment online because of how far they went. Without further ado, here are 5 Times Tacha’s Outfits Went TOO FAR. Let’s jump right in!

Tacha’s outfit to the Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA) in 2020 got a lot of tongues wagging once the picture hit the internet. By all accounts to many people, Tacha went TOO FAR with this outfit showing a whole lot more cleavage than anybody expected to see that night from one person. One user on Tacha’s Instagram page reacted to the outfit upon seeing it on and said “Tacha pls stop exposing ur boobs pls” to which Tacha responding “BOOBS that is my OWN?”
Two.

When Tacha uploaded this picture to her social media, people responded about two things. One: they once again pointed out to Tacha that she was showing too much cleavage and that her boobs were practically on full display, and Two: they were astonished by the amount of makeup and body paint on her. To them, it was too much.



Somebody said: “Hmm so the make up aint for the face alone. Just wow” and someone else said “This one reach one gallon of paint ooo!”



Three.



If there is one thing about Tacha, it’s clearly that she will show off her cleavage, even in the middle of winter. When Tacha was on holiday in the UK, she posted pictures of herself in a winter coat and a mesh top that once again showed off her cleavage. People thought it was too much for Tacha to be showing off breast even in the middle of cold weather. Others called it “cheap attention seekers tricks”. The comments were harshs with some people saying “Tacha has nothing to offer if she doesn’t show breast” and at some of its worst people called her everything from “ashawo” to “prostitute abroad” for this outfit.



Four.



During her appearance on the Big Brother Naija show, Tacha’s gown rode up high while trying to get into bed and unfortunately, with it being live TV, the moment was captured when her pant was on full display. Once again, people had a lot to say with comments ranging from “burnt yansh” to “Glad to know she still wear pants.”



Five.



Sometimes when you wear the kind of cleavage-baring outfits that Tacha wears,it becomes very easy and very possible to suffer a severe wardrobe malfunction. This is what happened to Tacha during a live episode of Big Brother Naija when she was dancing in a revealing top and suffered a full on nip-slip which can be seen uncensored here.



Sometimes, outfits go too far and sometimes at its worst it can even lead to slips happening and more.

These are the Russian submarines which protected the Indian Navy by becoming a shield against America in the 1971 war.
50 years ago in 1971, the US threatened India to stop the 1971 war. Concerned India sent an SOS to the Soviet Union. A story that has almost been erased from the Indian history books. When Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war seemed easy, Kissinger prompted Nixon to send the US 7th Fleet Task Force, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, to the Bay of Bengal.
USS Enterprise, 75,000 tons, was the world's largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the 1970s with over 70 fighters. A moving monster on the surface of the sea. The Indian Navy's fleet was led by Vikrant, a 20,000-tonne aircraft carrier, carrying 20 light combat aircraft. Officially the USS Enterprise was sent to the Bay of Bengal to protect American citizens in Bangladesh, while unofficially it was to intimidate the Indian Army and prevent the liberation of East Pakistan. India soon got another bad news. Soviet intelligence reported to India that a powerful British naval fleet led by the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle along with the commando carrier HMS Albion, along with several destroyers and other ships were approaching the
The Arabian Sea from the west in Indian waters.
The British and Americans planned a coordinated naval attack to intimidate India: British ships in the Arabian Sea would target India's west coast, while the Americans would attack in Chittagong. The Indian Navy was caught between British and American ships. That was December 1971, and the world's two major democracies were now threatening the world's largest democracy. An SOS from Delhi was sent to Moscow. The Red Navy soon dispatched 16 Soviet naval units and six nuclear submarines from Vladivostok to block the USS Enterprise.
Admiral N Krishnan, the chief of the Eastern Command of the Indian Navy, wrote in his book 'No Way But Surrender' that he feared the Americans would reach Chittagong. He mentioned how he thought
of attacking the Enterprise in a do-or-die trick to slow it down.
On 2 December 1971, a task force of the US 7th Fleet led by the water giant USS Enterprise arrived in the Bay of Bengal. The British fleet was coming into the Arabian Sea. The world held its breath.
But, unknown to the Americans, they were overtaken by submerged Soviet submarines.
As the USS Enterprise headed for East Pakistan, Soviet submarines came to the fore without warning. Soviet submarines now stood between India and American naval forces.
Americans_surprised_surprised_.
The 7th US Fleet Commander told Admiral Gordon: "Sir, we are too late. The Soviets are here!" no choice but to retreat
Both the American and British fleets retreated. Today, most Indians have forgotten this huge naval chess battle between the two superpowers in the Bay of Bengal.
so it is important to remember

I KILLED MY FATHER!
I was only sixteen years , I killed my father and I don't regret it, no guilt that beast deserved to die earlier! I only pity my poor mother who had put up with him and had to suffer for twenty years in prison .
I grew up in a joyless home , my mum was the nicest woman anyone would wish to call mother , she was so soft spoken , and caring, four of us were lucky to come through her , but I had never seen my mother happy in all my life .
Okay my father , that beast I hope his soul burns in hell , was a the devil himself, as early as four years old , I would hear my mum crying , the beast never knew how to pet a woman, he was god! His directives were final . He would want to have intercourse, instead of petting my mum and making her want him like other men would, no! My dad won't, he would caress her with a belt , I felt like running away because of his wickedness.
As we grew up we learnt to be afraid of our dad, whenever we heard the sound of his car we would all run to our rooms and pretended to be fast asleep . The next thing we would here .
"Agnes where are you? Come here! "
My mum like a terrified cow would come to the slaughterer .
"Agnes taste this soup!"
Mum would taste the soup , same soup we ate and it was sumptuous and delicious , he would say .
"Agnes is the soup normal to you ?"
If mum said yes or no , beating would follow her , mum had gone to the hospital severally , to treat broken bones , and injured wounds.
"Mum why don't we move to a different state where dad can't find us , I will stop school and hawk whatever we can to raise money ."
Mum would smile .
"Solomon I love you and your brothers, for your sake I would die ."
It never made sense to me , why would mum remaining with a wife beater have an effect on us .
I couldn't focus on studies remembering the violence I would watch when I got home, I was in GSS3 when dad beat mum up bloodied her eye, and broken tooth , I hated my dad that day , I wept so much for mum , that even in her pains she consoled me .
"Mum can you come and out of the grave to take care of us ? This man will kill you one of this days ."
Mum smiled , this angered me , maybe she had a death wish . I hated dad, I avoided him for weeks , we would live in the same house as if we travelled . I would leave for school early before he was up, I would go to bed early before he came back angry and drunk .
That beast had the boldness to bring his concubine to the house , I was fifteen years old at that time , when mum complained he decended on her and knocked out another teeth I was boiling in fury , one day I would kill this beast if mum didn't take me away, he could see the hatred in my eyes.
He made love to the lady on the matrimonial bed , she moaned so much for mum to hear her . Mum cried all through the night , I blocked my ears with an ear piece
I blocked the lady the next morning as she was leaving the house after spending the night with my dad , I and my best friend beat living day out of her , at least I was learning something from dad, she wss left with a black face like puff puff. Dad brought police men who handcuffed me and took me away from the school.
Mum was at the police station to bail me , but dad refused he insisted I must stay there to learn a lesson .
"What lesson ? What lesson have I not learnt from you ? Did I beat het half the way you beat my mum ?"
He tried to slap me in the DPO's office I held his hand .
"I am not my mother! She refused to leave even though you want to kill her! But am not her ! If you ever try to put your hands on me I'll fight you ."
I pulled his hands down .
relatives gathered and forced him to bail me , he asked me to move out of his house , I told him I was not going anywhere without my mum, he said he married her with his money and would treat her anyway he liked .
Family members had tried to prevail on him for the past seventeen years of their marriage , but he had it in him, he couldn't stay a day without beating her . Mum accepted her fate , I couldn't wait to leave the house for school, I couldn't stand the beating.
On this faithful afternoon, my father was on his annual leave and I was done writing my paper is school, I got back from school, the whole house was in shambles, the trail of littered household items extended to the passage connecting the dinning room and the kitchen
