Former Big Brother Naija contestant, Maryanne Ahneeka Iwuchukwu, has criticized the Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, fondly called Phyna, for publicly criticizing the reality show’s organizers over incomplete prizes.
The reality TV star tearfully demanded payment of 1BTC owed to her by a sponsor, now valued at over N100 million.
While reacting to this, Ahneeka deemed Phyna’s actions unwise.
On the ‘Terms & Conditions’ podcast, the reality star claimed that Phyna and previous winners aren’t worthy of their prizes and display a sense of entitlement.
“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.”she said.
