Reality TV star and influencer Tacha is the latest celebrity to speak out over the horrific massacre in Benue State that left more than 200 people dead. In an emotional video filmed from her hospital bed, Tacha poured out her grief and frustration, questioning the silence and slow response of the Nigerian government.
Tears streamed down her face as she asked, “Where did I go wrong being a Nigerian? Where did we go wrong being Nigerians? Did we pick our country?” Her raw honesty struck a nerve, especially as she continued to highlight the tragedy of losing lives in a country that is not even at war.
Referencing the Iran-Israel conflict, she added, “I need everybody to understand that Israel and Iran are at war and up to 200 people have not been killed, but in Nigeria, you can go to bed and your tomorrow is not guaranteed.” Her words echoed the fear and helplessness many Nigerians are feeling right now.
Tacha didn’t hold back in calling out those in power. She condemned the lack of urgency and empathy shown by the leaders of the country. “It had to take a pope of over how many miles away to address Nigerians, to sympathize with Nigerians, to give Nigerians hope before our government talked about this,” she said.

As the nation continues to reel from the devastating loss, voices like Tacha’s are keeping the conversation alive and demanding answers from those in charge.
