Former Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has left fans talking after a livestream in which she explained why she is single and what she currently wants from men.
Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, who won the Level Up season in 2022, spoke candidly during the session. She said she sees little that a man can give her right now beyond physical intimacy.
“The only thing a boy can literary offer me right now is sex, that’s it.. nothing else,” she stated.
Phyna then linked her low interest in sex to circumcision.
“I was circumcised so I don’t get to get horny most of the time except I put my mind, heart to it,” she said.
When asked how she manages that, she added that deliberate thought helps.
“I put my mind to it, sometimes, I can just sit down and wish I am kissing someone and thats me putting my mind to it.”
She closed the stretch with a joke about her options.
“Maybe I will just turn gay, or maybe a tomboy and have a girlfriend,” she said.
Clips from the livestream began circulating online on Sunday morning. In the footage Phyna appears in her usual streaming setup, responding to chat questions about relationships and desire.
Phyna, born 2 June 1997 and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has long been known for unfiltered talk since her time in the Big Brother house. She has previously said she is ready for a relationship only if the person “has sense,” and she has spoken publicly about turning down large offers for sex.
Female circumcision remains a sensitive subject in parts of Nigeria and reactions to her comments online have been mixed. Some praised her for speaking without filter. Others questioned the remarks or offered unsolicited advice.
