In a recent episode of the Big Friday Show, the popular reality star and former BBNaija winner, Phyna, made an appearance as a guest. The show, hosted by fellow reality star Tacha, provided an opportunity for Phyna to address a controversial incident that occurred the previous week. During the interview, she revealed that she had turned down a ₦5 million offer from a man. However, Phyna now asserts that the amount is not a significant sum of money to her.
Expressing her thoughts on the matter, Phyna voiced her belief that some Nigerians may be misinterpreting the situation due to the perceived value of the ₦5 million offer. She stated, “This whole thing makes me feel like some Nigerians are somehow, because how much is five million naira? It’s just five thousand dollars, bro. In my dollar account, I have more than five thousand dollars sitting pretty, to not be touched. I don’t even remember that one. So, me rejecting five million naira is nothing, five million naira is change!”
Phyna emphasized that the reason five million naira is insignificant to her is because she can easily earn such an amount. When further probed about her stance, she explained that she would not feel comfortable with someone offering her that sum of money in that particular context.
She continued, “Five million naira is something I can make in my comfort zone in my house. I don’t need to open my door to make five million, and a lot of people are seeing it as one big deal. The whole thing made me laugh yesterday. Even if I’m a poor girl, you can’t just walk up to me just like that to offer me five million. Do you want to kill me? What is so special about me that you want to give me five million just like that?”
Phyna’s remarks shed light on her perspective regarding the value of money and the significance of the offer she declined. She believes that the amount offered is relatively small compared to her financial capabilities and questions the motives behind such an offer.
