The Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making and Influencers Guild, PCCSIGN, has written to the organisers of Big Brother Naija, Multichoice Nigeria, over the outstanding debt owed to one of its members, ijeoma Josephina Otabor, aka Phyna, who won Season 7 of the reality show.
Phyna, had last week called out Multichoice, the organisers of Big Brother Naija claiming she was yet to receive all prizes and money promised by the show’s organisers for winning the 2022 edition of the reality show.
The PCCSIGN, in an open letter via Instagram on Monday, highlighted the list of gifts allegedly owed to the 27-year-old by some of the show’s sponsors.
The guild urged Multichoice to help in facilitating “the release of the prizes” from the sponsors
The letter partly read: “We, the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild (PCCSIGN), writes to you on behalf of ijeoma Josephina Otabor known as “Phyna’, a valued member of our guild, regarding the outstanding debts owed by Quidax Global – 1BTC= $70, 052.00, Seven-Up Bottling Company (Pepsi)-1 year supply of Pepsi products, Travelbeta – A trip for 2 to Dubai, and Evans Industries (Unik Soap) – 1 year supply of soap product, which constitute part of the prizes she won as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7 (Level Up), held from July 23rd to October 2nd, 2022.”
The Guild urged Multichoice to facilitates the release of the prizes owed to Phyna by the aforementioned brands, noting that it is imperative that sponsors of the Big Brother Naija franchise uphold their commitments to the winners of the show.
“Failure to fulfill promised prizes not only reflects poorly on the sponsors but also undermines the integrity of the show and raises doubts in the public opinion,” the statement added.
