Nigerian media personality Anita Natacha Akide, widely known as Tacha, has sparked conversation online after calling out what she describes as “seasonal faith” among some religious individuals.
The Guinness World Record holder criticised people who, according to her, engage in questionable behaviour throughout the year but suddenly adopt religious practices during specific spiritual periods.
Tacha argued that such actions reflect a lack of sincerity, noting that many quickly revert to their прежvious lifestyles once the rituals are over. She questioned the authenticity of these expressions of faith, stressing that religion should be a consistent way of life rather than an occasional performance.
“The way people practice religion is almost like a joke to me,” she said. “You do all sorts of things all year, only to fly to Mecca and walk around the Kaaba, or show up in church on Sunday and sit in the front row. After the whole ritual is done, you return to your normal life.”
Her remarks have since stirred mixed reactions, with some agreeing with her stance on religious consistency, while others argue that spiritual journeys are personal and evolve over time.
