Tacha’s Guinness World Record Glow Up, From Disqualified to Distinguished
How Tacha Turned Failure into a Guinness World Record
Rising from the ashes of adversity, Anita Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha or Symply Tacha, is a Nigerian media personality who first gained fame on Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem Season 4. Although she was disqualified from the show due to a case of violent conduct, that moment did not end her journey. Instead, it became the beginning of her powerful rise.
Tacha is a strong, fun-loving, and determined woman. She has grown into a successful entrepreneur, media host, and influential brand. Recently, she shocked many by breaking two Guinness World Records, all within 24 hours of non-stop work in the beauty industry. How amazing is that?
From October 10 to 12, 2025, during the Tacha Beauty Festival in Lagos, Nigeria, she set two new makeup records. She completed 64 makeovers in 5 hours and later achieved 145 makeovers in 24 hours, both done by one artist alone. With this, Tacha once again proved that passion, courage, and consistency can turn any story around.
145 Makeovers in 24 Hours
The entire event was full of energy, excitement, and positive vibes. From makeup model number one to model number 145, everyone left the venue with a stunning makeover. Even people who came just to support and cheer for Tacha ended up getting a makeover too.
Do not assume that all the models were women. Although females made up the majority, Tacha also worked on male models. This shows how talented and creative she is. Completing 145 makeovers in 24 hours is not a small task. She worked tirelessly with her team, and they truly deserve applause for their dedication and hard work.
Although the official Guinness World Records page has not yet announced Tacha’s achievement or presented her certificate, she has already broken and set a new record. Her achievement is real, bold, and deserves celebration.
Many celebrities and former Big Brother Naija housemates came out to support her, including Toke Makinwa, Diiadem, Alex Unusual, Mercy Eke, Ebuka, and many others. Fellow Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci, who recently set a record for cooking the largest pot of jollof rice, was also there to cheer Tacha to victory. What a powerful moment of women supporting women!
Tacha’s Record-Breaking Event Drew Thousands: A Big Win for Nigeria
The Guinness World Record book will soon run out of pages with how fast Nigerians are breaking and setting new records. In an interview with Egungun of Lagos, Tacha revealed that she had been planning this event for two years, and she is proud to push the Nigerian beauty industry to a global stage.
More than 2,000 people showed up to support her. There were over 40 food vendors, live music, dance, and nonstop entertainment. The atmosphere was warm and exciting, filled with smiles, cheers, and encouragement. The event was a huge success from start to finish.
Hopefully, Guinness World Records will issue her certificates soon, officially confirming this historic moment for Tacha and for Nigeria. With this win, Tacha will no longer be remembered only as a disqualified Big Brother Naija housemate, she will be celebrated as a Guinness World Record holder.
Tacha’s journey proves that failure is not the end, it’s only a new beginning.
