Quidax had pledged to give Phyna 1 BTC as part of her prizes but were yet to fulfil their promise two years after.
The winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7, Josephina Otabor, who is popularly known as Phyna, has declined a 13 million naira offer from Quidax, one of the sponsors of the reality show.
Daily Post reports that Phyna, who won Season 7 of the reality show in 2022, has been calling out the organisers and their sponsors over incomplete prizes.
Quidax had pledged to give Phyna 1 BTC as part of her prizes but were yet to fulfil their promise two years after.
Following Phyna’s recent outburst, they met with the reality star and offered her N13m which they claimed was the value of 1 BTC in 2022 when they made the pledge.
However, speaking in a video message shared via her social media page, Phyna said she rejected the offer and insisted that they gave her the 1 BTC which she said is now worth over N90 million.
She also insisted that the organisers of the reality show and their sponsors must give her tickets for a trip-for-two to Maldives which was also part of her prizes.
Phyna said, “I am standing on my Maldives trip for two. So I’m waiting to get my tickets for Maldives. You can’t give me Kenya or Morocco as options to pick from. I can fund my trip if I want to go to Kenya or Morocco.
“Also, Quidax said they will give me N13m; the rate of 1 BTC in 2022. Before I countered that, I reminded them that as at when I checked in November 2022, 1 BTC was N22m but they insisted that it was N13.8m. So I referred to my Google and it showed me that 1 BTC was about N19m in November 2022.
“If Quidax had given me my 1 BTC in 2022, today I will be having about N96 million sitting in wallet. Now you are telling me that you are going to give me N13m, so what happens to all my lost in the past two, three years?”
