BBNaija star Tacha has spoken out against Nigerian feminists for not addressing the sexual harassment allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In a video shared on Instagram, Tacha expressed her disappointment in how Nigerians are handling the situation. She believes that when one of the only four female senators in the country speaks up about harassment, it should be taken seriously.
‘’I think we can all agree that Nigerians are not very serious people. This is what the political class understands and that is why they can do anything and get away with it because they know that Nigerians are not very serious people.
You guys don’t understand the gravity of what just happened.
If Senator Natasha is lying, do you understand the gravity of that. It simply means women can wake up and accuse anybody of sexual harrassment, accuse any man of rape and get away with it. It also means that men can rape, sexually aharrass women and absolutely nothing would be done. That is how bad the situation is and yet you people are just there dancing around it.
This is exactly the time we have to take the bull by its horn. Do you know what this year’s International Women’s Day theme is? ‘’Match forward for all women and girls’. Why are Nigerians women not marching? Why are we all not marching?
The so-called individuals that call themselves feminists, there voices is nowhere to be heard. Bunch of jokers! If it is to defend sex workers parading themselves as influencers, which I don’t have a problem with, your tits will stand. Your voices will be heard’ We will hear from you people. You are only a feminist when it benefits you’
She also added that if the claims turn out to be false, Senator Natasha should be held accountable. However, she insists the matter should not be ignored.
‘’If a woman of that level is struggling to get justice, then who am I? What is the fate of the average 18 year old girl in Ibadan, in Delta state, of the average 26 year old girl in Sokoto”
Tacha’s statement has sparked conversations online, with many debating the role of feminists in addressing such issues in Nigeria. To
