Nigerian reality television star Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has achieved an extraordinary milestone by setting two new Guinness World Records simultaneously. The former BBNaija contestant officially received recognition on Wednesday, November 12, for accomplishing the most cosmetic makeovers within both 8-hour and 24-hour periods.
Historic Achievement in Makeover Marathon
The Guinness World Records organization confirmed Tacha's remarkable feat after she successfully completed her 24-hour attempt for the most makeovers performed in a single day. Tacha executed an impressive 145 makeovers on both male and female models during her record-breaking session, cementing her place in the prestigious global record book.
The event attracted numerous Nigerian celebrities and influencers who participated as models, including prominent figures such as Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Venita Akpofure, Mitchy, Wanni, and Handi. The star-studded occasion also featured appearances by Alex Unusual, Toke Makinwa, Dabota Lawson, Soma Anyama, Slimcase, Ice Prince, and Egungun of Lagos, creating an electrifying atmosphere throughout the record attempt.
Emotional Victory Celebration
Following the official recognition from Guinness World Records, Tasha shared a deeply emotional video capturing her tearful reaction to the achievement. The reality star expressed overwhelming joy and gratitude, particularly dedicating the accomplishment to her late mother.
In her Instagram caption accompanying the emotional footage, Tacha wrote: "First Nigerian to break 2 records at a go. 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."
The achievement represents the fulfillment of a goal Tacha had publicly announced in January 2025, when she first revealed her plans to break the Guinness World Record for most makeovers. Her determination and hard work ultimately led to this historic accomplishment that has captivated her fans and the Nigerian entertainment industry.
