Tacha Highlights Her Mission to Showcase Nigeria’s Creative Strength

Nigerian media personality and entrepreneur, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has opened up about her motivation for attempting the Guinness World Record for the most makeovers done in 24 hours. Speaking with passion and confidence, the former Big Brother Naija star emphasized that her decision to host the event in Lagos, Nigeria, was intentional and deeply rooted in national pride.

According to Tacha, the beauty industry in Nigeria has produced some of the most talented makeup artists and innovators in Africa, yet their work often goes unrecognized on the global stage. She stated that her record attempt represents not just a personal challenge but a celebration of Nigerian creativity, skill, and resilience.

Tacha added that her goal is to prove that world-class achievements can be made right from Nigeria without the need to relocate abroad. “I want the world to see that we are capable of excellence here,” she said. “The Nigerian beauty industry deserves global recognition, and I’m here to make sure that happens.”

Why Lagos Was the Perfect Location for the Record Attempt

Explaining her choice of Lagos over the United Kingdom, Tacha revealed that the city holds a special place in her heart, both personally and professionally. Lagos, she noted, represents the spirit of hustle, determination, and creativity — the same values that drive her brand.

She described Lagos as a city that never sleeps, filled with ambitious individuals who constantly push boundaries despite challenges. For her, there was no better place to stage a world record attempt than in Nigeria’s commercial capital — a place that mirrors her relentless drive and energy.

Tacha further explained that hosting the event in Lagos also creates opportunities for local makeup artists, models, and content creators to participate, learn, and gain international exposure. “It’s not just about me; it’s about everyone in this industry who deserves to be seen and celebrated,” she affirmed.

Tacha Aiming to Inspire Nigerian Youth and Global Recognition for the Beauty Industry

Beyond setting a record, Tacha emphasized that her project aims to inspire young Nigerians, particularly women, to pursue their dreams fearlessly. She encouraged them to believe that global recognition is achievable regardless of where they come from.

She expressed gratitude to her supporters, her team, and the numerous brands that have stood by her throughout her journey. Tacha also hinted at future collaborations aimed at expanding Nigeria’s footprint in the international beauty scene.

The media star concluded by saying that breaking the Guinness World Record in Lagos is more than a personal goal — it is a symbolic statement that Nigeria is ready to take its place in the global beauty conversation. “This is for every Nigerian girl who dreams big,” she said proudly.
