Tacha, one of the most polarizing and resilient housemates from Big Brother Naija Season 4, recently shared her belief that she would have claimed the crown if not for her disqualification. Speaking candidly on the Hot Takes podcast, she highlighted her exceptional endurance in the competition, noting that being nominated for eviction eleven times—and surviving each week—was a testament to her growing influence and solid fan support. “I knew I was going to win,” she said confidently, underscoring that her repeated escapes from elimination proved the depth of her following.
Her assertion has reignited debates among fans and commentators about what could have been. Some insiders—including fellow contestants—have chimed in with their perspectives. Ike Onyema, who was part of the All-Stars edition, expressed his belief that Tacha was on track for victory in the Pepper Dem season, while fellow housemate CeeC offered a different view, suggesting that Mercy Eke may still have won due to her broad grassroots appeal.
Tacha’s exit was precipitated by a serious breach of show rules. On Day 89 of the 99-day season, she was disqualified following a physical altercation with co-housemate Mercy Eke, who eventually went on to win the show. The incident was rooted in a tense confrontation that led to Tacha earning a strike and being removed for violating the show’s policy against physical aggression.
Tacha has since reflected on that moment in a more vulnerable light. In emotional messages to her fans—who affectionately call themselves ‘Titans’—she acknowledged the pain of leaving the show in such a way, and apologised for allowing her weaknesses to overshadow her strengths. She spoke of her determination to work on her emotional well-being and saw the experience as a pivotal, humbling moment in her growth.
Although Mercy ultimately took home the grand prize, Tacha’s confidence, charisma, and mass appeal made her one of the most unforgettable contestants in BBNaija history. Long after her disqualification, she has leveraged her popularity into media opportunities, brand endorsements, and business ventures—further cementing her influence beyond reality TV.
Her story remains a compelling “what if” in the BBNaija narrative: a blend of fiery talent, unfiltered emotion, and unfulfilled potential. Whether she would’ve won remains speculative, but her legacy as a fierce, unforgettable competitor is undeniable.
