Former BBNaija winner, Josephina “Phyna” Otabor, has offered heartfelt advice to rising media personality Imisi, who is currently embroiled in a public family dispute. Phyna cautioned Imisi against allowing the situation to escalate, urging her to avoid the mistakes she made during her own highly publicized family conflict.
Speaking during a live session shared across her social platforms, Phyna said she deeply regretted how her issues with certain family members became a topic of public drama, causing emotional strain and long-term misunderstandings. She encouraged Imisi to handle the situation privately, seek dialogue, and prioritize healing over confrontation.
“Don’t handle it like I did,” Phyna warned.
“When family matters go public, it becomes difficult to fix. I learned the hard way. If you can settle it peacefully, please do.”
Phyna’s comments have since generated significant reactions from fans and observers, many praising her maturity and willingness to acknowledge past errors. Others viewed her remarks as a broader call for influencers and celebrities to be cautious in making private issues public, particularly in an age where social media amplifies conflict and public judgment.
Imisi, who has not yet issued a direct response, has been trending online following allegations of deep-rooted disagreements within her family circle. Supporters have urged her to consider mediation and seek emotional support as tensions unfold.
Analysts note that Phyna’s intervention highlights a growing conversation around mental health, privacy, and the pressures of public life, especially among young Nigerian entertainment figures.
