Popular Nigerian media personality and former Big Brother Naija housemate, Natacha Akide, widely known as Tacha, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by officially securing two Guinness World Records titles in a single event. The reality TV star made history by setting records for the most cosmetic makeovers completed in both 8 hours and 24 hours — a feat that has captivated fans across the globe.
The extraordinary event took place in Lagos, Nigeria, where Tacha assembled a dedicated team of professional makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts who worked around the clock under her supervision. The goal was ambitious — to break not just one, but two world records in one marathon session. Over the course of the event, dozens of participants were transformed through fast-paced and creative makeovers, blending speed, artistry, and precision.
According to reports, Tacha’s motivation for the record attempt was rooted in her desire to showcase Nigerian excellence and to prove that determination, skill, and teamwork can elevate anyone to global recognition. She emphasized that her journey was not just about beauty but also about discipline, empowerment, and making a lasting mark on the international stage.
After weeks of anticipation, the Guinness World Records organization officially verified her accomplishment, confirming her as the first Nigerian woman to hold two GWR titles simultaneously in a single category. The announcement sparked excitement across social media, with thousands of fans and celebrities sending her messages of pride and admiration.
In an emotional post shared on her verified Instagram page, Tacha expressed deep gratitude to God, her late mother, and her supporters for helping her achieve this dream. She wrote:
“First Nigerian to break 2 records at a go!! Active Active Active!!! God did it!!! My Messiah did it!!! 🙏 My mummy in HEAVEN!! YOU DID IT!!! I felt you holding my shoulders when my knees were shaking. I carried your strength into that room and I didn’t stop.”
She also thanked her team and sponsors who made the event possible, acknowledging the immense pressure and exhaustion they endured during the record-breaking marathon. Tacha described the experience as one of the most challenging yet fulfilling moments of her career, adding that it has inspired her to push for even greater heights in the beauty and entertainment industry.
Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok to celebrate her success. Many described Tacha as a symbol of persistence, courage, and transformation — a woman who has consistently turned criticism into motivation. Her supporters praised her for representing Nigeria with class and ambition on the global stage, while some noted that her latest achievement could pave the way for more African women to challenge world records in creative industries.
Media outlets across Nigeria and beyond have also highlighted Tacha’s triumph as a historic moment for the country’s entertainment and beauty sectors, reinforcing her status as one of Nigeria’s most influential figures. With her Guinness World Records certifications now confirmed, Tacha joins a growing list of Nigerians — including Hilda Baci and Kaffy — who have achieved global recognition for outstanding achievements.
As she basks in her success, Tacha revealed plans to host an empowerment workshop for young makeup artists and women in business, aimed at motivating them to chase their dreams fearlessly. She described this milestone as just the beginning of a new chapter of impact and innovation.
She concluded her post with a powerful message to her fans: “If you ever doubted your dreams, let this be your sign. Keep working, keep believing — because one day, your name will echo in rooms you never imagined.”
Her fans continue to celebrate across social media platforms with the trending hashtag #TachaWorldRecordBreaker, while her video clips from the marathon event continue to circulate widely, showcasing the passion and energy that defined her record-breaking moment.
