Media personality and entrepreneur Toke Makinwa has heaped praise on Tacha Akide, commending her drive, reinvention, and determination to succeed beyond reality TV fame.
Speaking to newsmen at the Beauty Festival in Lagos — an event where she came to show support for Tacha — Makinwa described the reality star as a go-getter who constantly pushes boundaries and finds new ways to grow her brand.
“There’s one thing about Tacha — she is always reinventing herself, always looking for ways to push the brand envelope. It reminds me so much of myself; we are both never satisfied with doing just one thing,” Makinwa said.
She further lauded Tacha’s evolution since leaving the Big Brother Naija house, noting that her attempt at the Guinness World Record and other ventures reflect her ambition and fearless spirit.
“I love that she has been able to branch into so many areas after Big Brother. You just have to support that kind of determination,” she added.
Makinwa, who owns two thriving beauty brands, also spoke about the growing influence of the beauty industry in Nigeria, emphasizing that it should be recognized as a major economic sector in its own right.
“The beauty industry is often grouped under entertainment, but it’s a billion-dollar sector on its own. Nigeria is at the forefront, and other African countries are looking to us for inspiration,” she noted.
The media star expressed excitement about the industry’s evolution and praised Tacha for helping to boost its visibility and relevance through her creative ventures and public platforms.
