Reality TV star and media personality, Tacha Akide, has thrown her full support behind the lady who criticised a man for failing to pay for her food after collecting her phone number at a restaurant.
Earlier, a lady had blasted a man who collected her number at a restaurant, but failed to pay for her food.

Tacha reacts to the drama
In a video shared online, Tacha defended the womanâs reaction, insisting that men should be willing to âimpressâ when approaching a lady.
Tacha argued that since the lady could afford her own food, the man should have been capable of paying for both meals if he intended to initiate a connection.
Tacha slams men for avoiding sorting ladiesâ bills
She criticised what she described as a new trend of âwokenessâ where men avoid such gestures.
Tacha said âŠ
âYou see this girl right here? I am standing with her ten toes. Why? Because as a man, you need to be able to impress. If youâre not going to impress, Iâm sorry, just keep your distance. For this girl to be at the restaurant, obviously she does have cash to pay for her food. And if youâre going to approach her, ask for her number, you should be able to at least pay for your own food and pay for her own food. And you must do it now.
What is this new wokeness you people are trying to just push? Let me just make it clear that you men, no matter how angry you decide to stand, you are not going to stop women from being women. You will not do it because even animals impress.
Go and watch Nat Geo Wilde. Youâre going to see the bird bringing food to the female bird, performing, dancing with his friends, and if sheâs not impressed enough, sheâs going to fly off. So if birds can clock it, how about you? How can you not clock it? You have the opportunity to say, oh, is this how you people behave in Nigeria? If you see me at a restaurant or you see me at a club as a Guinness World Record holder two times, if youâre not going to buy me a bottle, Iâm sorry, donât come close to me. Wait. When Iâm exiting the club, when Iâm leaving the restaurant, close to my car, you can come say, Hi, I need your number. Iâm going to give you my number. Yes, Iâm going to be very much receptive. But do not gaslight women to stop being women. No, it just doesnât make sense. You need to be able to impress as a man. And if youâre not going to do so, if you donât have any intent to do so, keep your distance, be on your mobile phone, donât speak to nobody if you donât want to spend money.â
