Josephine Ijeoma Otabor, a former Big Brother Naija winner, who is also known as Phyna, has advised single ladies not to settle for broke men.
The reality star urged Nigerian ladies to ensure they get married to rich men or endeavour to make their own money.
She gave the advice on her X (formerly Twitter) account.
Phyna wrote, “Las las marry who get money oooh Or you try get money ooooh as a woman. E get why. (Ready for the drags)”
Her post elicited mixed reactions, with many berating her for her “insensitive” advice.
Ex-BBNaija housemate,Whitemoney has disclosed that his colleague, Phyna has received her remaining prizes from the organisers and sponsors of the reality show.
Recall that Phyna, who won Season 7 of the reality show in 2022, has been calling out the organisers and their sponsors over incomplete prizes.
In a recent chat with YouTuber, Olufemi Daniel, Whitemoney confirmed that Phyna has now received her remaining prizes including the 1 BTC.
He stated that she confided in him during a recent meeting.
Whitemoney said, “I think she [Phyna] went the way she understands, the way she knows [calling out the organisers]. And it worked for her. She got everything. I was with her a few days ago and she showed me that she got her BTC.
“So that pattern worked for her. It might not work for you and I. But all of us have different approaches to things. So that’s the way she understands and she did it and it worked for her. She got her goods, she got her trip to Maldives, she got everything she deserved.”
Josephina Otabor, the controversial BBNaija star and actress, who is popularly known as Phyna, has contemplated staying unmarried after a recent experience.
The Big Brother Naija S6 winner told her followers on social media to “say no to marriage.”
Responding to a curious fan who asked what informed her decision, Phyna explained that she recently witnessed an incident of domestic violence which made her tired of the idea of marriage.
On her X handle, Phyna wrote: “Say no to marriage [cancel emoji].”
A fan asked, “But why?” to which the reality star responded, “I just saw a man panel beating his wife, I stopped to join the people already there to help stop the man …… but I must say he was a mad dog nobody got hold am……… thing just tire me.”
Maryanne Ahneeka Iwuchukwu, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, has slammed the Season 7 winner, Phyna, for publicly calling out the organisers of the reality show over incomplete prizes.
Recall that Phyna tearfully called out BBNaija organisers over unpaid 1BTC owed to her by one of the sponsors. According to her, the prize is now worth over N100 million.
Reacting, Ahneeka faulted Phyna for publicly calling out the organisers, saying it wasn’t “a wise idea.”
Featuring on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ podcast, the reality star stated that Phyna and other past winners don’t deserve their prizes to the extent of being entitled.
She said, “The thing about Phyna is, the thing that happens when you come out of Biggie’s house and out of nowhere, from 200 followers, you have millions of people, you think you are invisible.
“It happens to everybody. It takes thoughts and management to continue hustling.
“If truly the organisers are owing Phyna money and that could be a possibility, it’s still a job at the end of the day. She needed to have found an inner counsel. Maybe she has done that and tried to have a civil discussion and it didn’t work out, I don’t know.
“But if she thinks the best way is to blackmail them on social media, I don’t think it is wise. She could have easily not emerged as the winner.
“She could have easily been the runner-up. And people saying she deserves the money, listen to me, nobody deserves that money.”
The Practitioners of Content Creating Skit-making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN) has called on Multichoice to pay BBNaija winner, Phyna her unpaid prize money.
