The Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild, PCCSIGN has written to Multichoice Nigeria, the organizers of Big Brother Naija, over an unpaid debt owed to ijeoma Josephina Otabor, also known as Phyna who won the Season 7 edition of the show.
A copy of the letter was posted on the program's Instagram page, on Monday, stating that Phyna was still owed money from the prizes she won during the show two years prior.
The Guild urged Multichoice to release the prizes owed, emphasizing the importance of sponsors of the Big Brother Naija franchise honoring their promises to the show's victors.
The letter partly read: “We, the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skit-making, and Influencers Guild (PCCSIGN), write 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.”
“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.
