AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The father of BBNaija season 7 winner, Josephina ‘Phyna’ Otabor, has claimed the reality star has abandoned her family after she found fame and became rich.
Recall that Phyna won the BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition grand prize of N100 million in 2022. At the time, her parents thought their suffering had come to an end, but unknown to them, their challenges were going to remain unchanged.
Speaking with Vanguard in a new interview, Phyna’s father, Mr Felix Otabor said the day Phyna was announced the winner of BBNaija season 7, in 2022 was the last time they set their eyes on her.
He said she disappeared and abandoned her family as soon as the prize money was handed over to her.
He also said Phyna had asked him to stop being a hearse driver but failed to help him when he stopped, leaving him currently jobless.
Hear him, “I haven’t seen Phyna, my daughter since she won BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition last year. She hasn’t returned home since then. I don’t know why? I am a professional hearse driver, and when she won the reality TV show, she asked me to do away with all my old cars, promising to change my life. But since then, I haven’t seen her. And I don’t have a car again. Once in a while, the Vice-Chairman of our association will allow me to drive his own car.
“I sold all my four cars because at the time , my daughter won the show. I thought that God had finally answered our prayers. I called her on the telephone, and she said God has blessed us. She asked me to do away with all my old cars, or she would give them out to Aboki, any day she returned. So, instead of allowing her to dash out my cars to scavengers, I decided to sell them as scraps and used the proceeds to renovate my house. And that was the beginning of my suffering. I stopped doing my business because I had no car again. And my neighbours thought I was either stingy or pretending as if my daughter just won a N100 million grand prize. I was the Vice-Chairman of our association, but when I couldn’t show up at our station for some time, they replaced me with another person.
“From that moment, things started getting tough for me.I am even looking for somebody that will give me a car on hire purchase. I need help, it has come to that point/. I don’t want to die in silence.’
Otabor, who hails from Ekpeon, in Edo State, but resides in Lagos, is the father of four children. He’s an ambulance car driver, whose hope of a better life after his daughter won the BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition’s grand prize of N100 million was dashed as soon as he was incubating it.
Sadly, the 68-year-old ambulance car driver said Phyna doesn’t answer their calls again. He wondered what they have done wrong to desire this kind of treatment being their first child.
Asked why Phyna was snubbing them, Otabor said he couldn’t explain, adding that he didn’t know his daughter’s whereabouts when he spoke to us during the week. “I only see her on Facebook or Instagram whenever she shares new photos on these platforms,” he added.
Reacting to the allegations on her official ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday, phyna wrote, “In the history of dragging ….. this is the first time I cried and it touched me 💔Let’s meet later on instagram live”.
