Ijeoma Otabor, also known as Phyna, is a former Big Brother Naija winner who has once again become the focus of online controversy following the publication of a post about healing and self-love.
The reality star reflected on her path through suffering and personal development on X, formerly Twitter.
Sharing a beautiful photo of herself, Phyna wrote: “I stopped searching for love in places that broke me, and I found life blooming the moment I chose myself.”
When several followers brought up the unsolved lawsuit concerning her late sister Ruth, the post swiftly changed course.
Tragically, Phyna’s younger sister Ruth died in September after suffering injuries in a traffic accident involving a Dangote truck.
Following the incident, Phyna had criticized the business, accusing it of incompetence and demanding justice and appropriate medical care for Ruth before her death.
The BBNaija Level Up edition winner has reportedly been spotted visiting clubs and social events after her sister passed away, which has saddened some supporters.
