BBNaija's Tacha faces backlash over 'single till you're married' comment

Reality star, Tacha has found herself on the wrong side of the court of public opinion due to her controversial stance on faithfulness in relationships.

The Big Brother Naija alumnus became a trending topic on social media after a clip from her interview with fellow BBNaija alumnus, Phyna made the rounds. In the clip, Tacha expressed her views that a person is otherwise single until they're married, asserting that being faithful is not necessary.

She said, "You have to be in that relationship and not be faithful until you probably get a ring. Or until you're getting into a marriage where you have to swear an oath because which oath did you swear to your boyfriend that you're faithful to? Like do you understand what I mean? You're single till you're married, you know that yes?"

Her statement led to a whirlwind of reactions from social media users. While some people stated that they understood her stance, others slammed her.
