Controversial former Big Brother Naija star, Phyna, reiterated her stance that ₦5 million is a trivial amount, emphasizing that it is mere “change” to her.
Appearing as a guest on the Big Friday Show hosted by fellow reality star Tacha, Phyna revisited a recent controversy where she disclosed turning down a ₦5 million offer from a man. During the interview, she expressed her belief that some Nigerians perceive the amount as significant, but she views it differently.
“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!” she began.
Highlighting that she can easily make that amount in her comfort zone, Phyna emphasized that five million is not a substantial sum for her. When questioned further, she explained that she wouldn’t feel comfortable with someone offering her that amount of money in that particular situation.
She added, “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?”
