Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, widely known as Phyna, has taken down her social media accounts after the death of her sister, Ruth Otabor.
Naijaonpoint reports that late Ruth died in an accident involving a Dangote truck, an incident that has thrown the Otabor family into mourning.
Phyna, who has always been active online, decided to step away from public platforms to mourn in private.
Condolences have been pouring in from fans and her colleagues.
In other news, relationship and lifestyle coach Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has criticized reality star Phyna over her clash with activist VeryDarkMan (VDM).
Naijaonpoint reports that in a video posted on Sunday, Blessing CEO said she sympathised with Phyna’s loss but faulted the way she handled her disagreement with VDM, insisting that it showed ingratitude despite his earlier support.
She argued that Phyna could have turned to other activists or platforms instead of attacking VDM and aligning with his rival, Izzy Ogbeide.
Blessing CEO also accused the Big Brother Naija winner of allowing her sister’s health crisis to become online content, stressing that activists are human and deserve appreciation.
She maintained that Phyna’s criticism of VDM while still expecting his assistance was contradictory and avoidable.
