Reality TV star Phyna has extended heartfelt encouragement to Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi, drawing from her own challenging family experiences. She emphasized that while such difficulties can be painful, they also present opportunities for personal growth and resilience.
Phyna previously revealed her strained family relationships, describing a lifelong feeling of disconnection and lack of recognition. This led her to legally drop her family surname, Otabor, citing unresolved issues and an absence of belonging. Her father publicly expressed disappointment about their fractured relationship, while Phyna credits these childhood experiences for forging her independence.
In a candid message to Imisi, Phyna urged the reality star to prioritize self-preservation and emotional strength. She warned against repeating her own approach to family conflicts, emphasizing personal growth over confrontation.
Phyna wrote: “To Imisi, @imisiofficial and to anyone walking through the same fire… I’m praying for your strength. My own experience broke me, but I’m slowly rising. And I’m rooting for you with everything in me, don’t handle it like I did, build strong and focus on you baby girl.”
This advice follows actor Ijebu’s recent public appeal for Imisi to reconcile with her mother, highlighting ongoing discussions about family dynamics in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
