‘My Daughter Stopped Picking My Calls After Winning N100 Million – Phyna’s Father

The father of BBNaija reality TV star, Phyna, has come forward with allegations of neglect against the winner of the 2022 BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition, who secured a N100 million prize.

Phyna’s parents expressed their dismay, stating that they haven’t seen their daughter since the day she was declared the winner of the reality show.

According to Phyna’s father, Felix Otabor, who spoke with Vanguard, despite her active presence on social media, she has not responded to their attempts to reach out to her.

Adding to his concerns, he revealed that she had urged him to cease his occupation as a hearse driver, which involves transporting deceased individuals from the funeral home or mortuary to their final resting place.

Otabor said, “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 who 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.”
