Reality TV star Anita Natacha Akide popularly known as Tacha has voiced her disappointment at Nigerian feminists over their inaction amid the recent issues surrounding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Taking to her Instagram page, Tacha accused Nigerian feminists of being quiet on a matter as important as Senator Akpoti’s suspension from the senate, further calling them a “bunch of jokers”.
Tacha cites her reason for calling Nigerians unserious
The 29-year-old celebrity insisted that Nigerians are not serious people. With the senate’s decision to unanimously suspend Akpoti, despite her claims about being sexually harassed.
She noted that she finds it dumbfounding that there has been no protest by the citizens for a sensitive matter such as sexual harassment.
“If senator Natasha is lying, do you understand the gravity of that? It simply means that women can accuse any man of sexual harassment or rape and nothing will be done. It also means that men can sexually harass women or even rape women and nothing will be done, that’s how bad the situation is, and yet you people are dancing around the whole issue.”
Tacha also lamented that Nigerian feminists did not lend their voices to what she believes is an unjust call by the senate.
She claims that if the issue were about a sex worker who was claiming to be an influencer, there would have been a national outcry from feminists across the country.
The media personality also believes that women are not properly represented in public office. Tacha noted that it is a poor representation of women to have just 4 female senators in the Senate as compared to the 105 male lawmakers.

The screen personality has aired her opinion for wanting more light to be shed on the details of the allegations.
She believes that the number three citizen of the country being dragged in such a case must be looked into in detail.
Tacha also noted that if Senator Akpoti were to be the one lying she must be properly dealt with. If her allegations are true then justice must be served.
Akide further stated if Senator Natasha Akpoti cannot be properly heard, then there is no hope for the average woman in Nigeria.
“If a woman of that level is struggling to get justice, struggling to be heard then who am I? What is the fate of that 18-year-old girl in Ibadan, or of that 18-year-old in Delta?”
