Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Josephina Otabor, often known as Phyna, has criticised Nigerians over alleged double standards.
The 2022 BBNaija winner urged Nigerians to stand behind her as she reclaims the awards she received from the reality programme, instead of just observing from the sidelines.
Phyna has been criticising the organisers and their sponsors for not providing all of the prizes and money that were promised to her.
Her claim arose following Multichoice’s announcement of the ninth edition’s auditions.
The list of gifts that Phyna is supposedly owed was brought to light last week by the Practicioners of Content Creating, Skit-Making, and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN).
Multichoice was requested by the guild to assist in “the release of the prizes” from the sponsors.
Phyna bemoaned in a string of tweets on Saturday the challenges she has encountered in attempting to claim her winnings.
The reality TV personality questioned why there has been no response from Nigerians on the issue.
She said victims of injustice should not be ignored until they have been oppressed to their death.
“A big organisation is making me go through the stress of not getting my prizes as promised since 2022,” she wrote.
“And Nigerians are yet to say anything because it is Phyna. Let us stop pretending to fight for justice when the person is no more.
“I don’t know what we call justice when they die. They had time to cry out and you all would ignore them but wait till they have been oppressed to death, rejection, and cancellation.
“I am standing strong. Either now or later somehow you all will believe that I am the victim here.”
In a different story, Phyna, turned down a N13 million offer from Quidax, one of the reality show’s sponsors.
After winning Season 7 of the reality show in 2022, Phyna has been criticising the sponsors and organisers for providing gifts that aren’t complete.
Two years after Quidax promised to send Phyna one Bitcoin as part of her awards, they still haven’t delivered on their promise.
The reality TV star made it clear that, of all the outstanding payments, the $1 billion that one of the sponsors, Quidax Global, owes her is the most significant.
Phyna stated that the current worth of one bitcoin is more than N90 million and that she intends to keep requesting it till she gets it.
After Phyna’s recent outburst, they met with the reality star and made a guarantee to her for N13 million, which they claimed was equivalent to one bitcoin in 2022.
But in a video message posted on social media, Phyna said she turned down the offer and demanded that they give her the one Bitcoin, which she claims is now worth more than N90 million.
She also asked that she receive tickets for a two-person trip to the Maldives, which was one of her rewards, from the reality show’s organisers and sponsors.
