Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, aka Phyna, has fulfilled her promise of giving part of the proceeds she got from the reality TV show to the less privileged, as she distributed food items to the poor in Lagos state.
While in Biggie’s house, the reality star had once talked about how she was raised by the streets.
She has decided to give back to the Lagos community by organizing an outreach programme to satisfy some of the needs of the less privileged.
In a video that surfaced online, Phyna was seen sharing small bags of rice, cartons brimming with food items that were wrapped in black nylons.
Fans have praised the BBNaija star for her charitable activities.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Phyna is from Edo State, but she was born in Lagos State.
She grew up in Edo State where she had her education.[7] She is a graduate of Engineering from Auchi Polytechnic.
Before entering the Big Brother Naija house, Phyna, was a commercial model, who started her career in college and was signed by a modeling agency.
Phyna entered the 7th season of Big Brother Naija (Level Up) as the tenth housemate on 23 July 2022.
During the season finale of the show on 2 October 2022, she was declared the winner scoring 40.74% of the final votes ahead of Bryann with 26.74% of the total votes cast and was entitled to the one hundred million naira grand prize, making her the second female to win the show, three years after Mercy Eke won it.
Phyna on Tuesday, October 4, received her prizes, an N50million cheque, a brand new Innoson SUV and a trip to Dubai, UAE.
The 25-year-old, while speaking about what she intends to do with the money, said she is yet to decide on what to do with the cash prize.
She, however, hinted that part of the proceeds will go to the less privileged.
In her words: “I will calm down and see to that and if you’re the one, you’ll do the same but I will see to helping the needy.”
