Ijeoma Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija Level Up, has shared her pride in achieving independence and security through her work as an actor. Following her recent revelation of her net worth on Instagram, Phyna emphasized the importance of self-sufficiency, stating, “I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on Earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.”
Phyna further articulated her thoughts, saying, “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Her comments came as she promoted her latest project, *LISABI: The Uprising*.
Fans have rallied around her in the comments section, praising her confidence and affirming her sentiments. Actress Etinosa Idemudia declared, “She is everything she says she is.” Other fans chimed in with compliments, expressing their admiration for Phyna’s talent and authenticity.
Earlier, Phyna had disclosed details about her earnings, stating that while she cannot speak for all actors, she typically earns about five million Naira a month from acting in three films, assuming she doesn’t take on too many projects.
Phyna also reflected on the challenges she faced in her career, including the loss of 17 brand deals due to controversies. She recounted how one brand chose not to work with her following a false accusation of abuse stemming from a blog post about her and fellow contestant Groovy.
Despite these setbacks, Phyna shared an empowering anecdote about turning down a N5 million offer for sex from a man at a nightclub. She humorously noted that she asked for his account number instead, asserting, “N5 million is chicken change to me, as I can make it just by sitting at home.”
Phyna’s journey continues to resonate with many, inspiring discussions around independence and self-worth in the entertainment industry.
