PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | NOVEMBER 24, 2024
Phyna Otabor, the 2022 Big Brother Naija season winner is in the news again. This time she’s disputing her origin as an Otabor. In an outburst on Friday on Snapchat, the delectable lady posted that it was over for now with the Otabors saying that she could no longer cope with the uncertainties surrounding her parents and family as a result of a lack of connection with her relatives.
She wrote, “I am publicly dropping my family surname, Otabor. It has been proven that I have no family, and nobody knows how I came about. I’m still searching for answers, though. It’s been rough with me lately.
“I’m in a place where I can’t even describe how I feel or what to call what I’m going through right now. Growing up and the way I was tossed around relatives, I should have suspected, but I guess I was too young. Omo, my head wan tear!”
Phyna has been involved in a widely publicised feud with her family in 2023, which began after her father, Felix Otabor, claimed he had not seen his daughter (Phyna) since she won the BBNaija show in 2022.
In response, the 27-year-old took to Snapchat, alleging she was deprived of “parental love” during her childhood, noting that her parents frequently denied she was their biological daughter. She also addressed her father’s claims, stating that she had gifted him an SUV and fulfilled her promises but was hurt by his public complaints.
She wrote, “Growing up, I always heard you were not my daughter. You are not my daughter. Yet I would beg for parental love. I have always begged people to love m.; today, I have finally accepted it. No wonder I say I am an orphan.”
Her victory earned her ₦100 million, making her the second female winner in the show’s history, following Mercy Eke’s win three years earlier.
