BBNaija winner Phyna has been at the center of online controversy following the tragic death of her younger sister, Ruth Otabor, who was killed after being hit by a truck allegedly belonging to the Dangote Group.
In her grief, Phyna has taken to social media multiple times demanding justice and compensation, accusing Dangote of playing what she called “a deceptive game” with her family.
Her emotional posts have divided opinion online, with some supporters standing by her pain while others question her approach.
Relationship therapist Blessing CEO has now added her voice to the conversation, urging Phyna to change tactics before her case loses credibility.
“Phyna, I keep seeing you all over my timeline. By now I expected you to have gotten a SAN. You need to put yourself together so people can take you serious. This case is already looking like a joke,” Blessing said.
“There are better ways you can go about this issue. You don’t use gra gra to get compensation. This is the time to get a good lawyer for you.”
Her message has sparked its own debate. Some people agree that Phyna needs to hire a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) to properly handle a case involving such a powerful company.
Going up against Dangote requires legal expertise, not just social media outrage, they argue.
Others, however, feel Blessing’s timing and tone are insensitive. They point out that Phyna is still processing the sudden loss of her sister and may not be thinking clearly about legal strategies yet.
