Josephina Ijeoma Otabor, widely known as Phyna from Big Brother Naija, has sparked controversy by expressing that wealth is not a priority when seeking a partner. In a recent episode of her podcast, Spill With Phyna, she emphasized the importance of love and care over financial status.
The actress affirmed that she is capable of providing for her own financial needs and prioritizes emotional fulfillment in a relationship. She stated, “When it comes to my ideal partner, I don’t even want your money. As long as you love me, you care for me. Don’t worry, I will handle my financial needs.”
Furthermore, Phyna addressed the societal stigma around women having more financial resources than their male partners. She pointed out that men should not be intimidated by dating a wealthier woman, promoting a more progressive outlook on relationships.
In a thought-provoking exchange with musician Khaid, a guest on her podcast, differing perspectives emerged. While Khaid acknowledged the importance of money in a relationship, he also expressed willingness to consider dating a wealthier woman, provided that it does not lead to discrimination.
Phyna’s unapologetic stance sheds light on traditional gender dynamics and challenges prevailing stereotypes, making a significant contribution to the ongoing discourse on modern relationships.
