The Big Brother Naija 2022 winner, Josephine Otabor, often known as Phyna, has turned down fresh offers from Multichoice, the show’s organizers, about her exceptional awards.
The reality star confronted Multichoice Nigeria on April 3, alleging she had not yet received all of the cash and gifts that had been promised to her. Her accusations followed Multichoice’s announcement of the reality show’s ninth edition tryouts.
The list of gifts that some of the program sponsors are believed to have owing Phyna was publicized last week by the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-Making and Influencers Guild of Nigeria (PCCSIGN).
The guild asked Multichoice to assist in arranging for the sponsors’ prizes to be released.
However, Olawale Amousa, Phyna’s attorney, and Michael Nwabufo, the acting National President of PCCSIGN, shared an update following their meeting with multichoice and stated that she didn’t agree with the new proposals made by the sponsors.
According to a statement released by PCCSIGN on Thursday, a recent deal with Unik Soap and Pepsi will be delivered on Friday. The parties have, however, rejected Travelbeta’s and Quidax Global’s proposals, according to the statement.
The statement reads: “Today, the acting President of PCCSIGN, Micheal Obinna Nwabufo, along with legal representatives from Phyna, Olawale Amousa Legal, visited the offices of MultiChoice Nigeria. The recent agreement between Pepsi and Unik Soap is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, Friday, April 19, 2024.
“Travelbeta is offering a trip for 2 to Morocco or Kenya, which we declined the destination options because Phyna was initially offered the destination options of Maldives or Jamaica.
“Regarding the matter of the 1 BTC, it was stated that the exchange rate would reflect the 2022 Naira equivalent, amounting to N13 million. However, PCCSIGN and Phyna’s legal representatives declined the offer due to concerns about potential repercussions resulting from MultiChoice’s negligence.
“The acting President of PCCSIGN insisted that the agreed-upon 1 BTC should be based on the current exchange rate. MultiChoice has agreed to further discuss this matter with Quidax Global and provide a response to PCCSIGN and Phyna.”
It would be recounted that Phyna won the N100 million grand prize and other presents from the 2022 season after defeating more than 20 housemates.
