Claiming I Had Two Abortions Was Cruise – BBNaija’s Phyna Make U-Turn
Big Brother Naija season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has denied claims that she had undergone abortions at the ages of 19 and 24.
The allegations surfaced after she responded to a Twitter troll who called her an abortionist.
However, in a phone conversation with social media actor Uche Maduagwu, Phyna stated that she never had any abortions and that she only accepts derogatory comments made about her during altercations as a way of incapacitating her trolls.
She explained that she gives an example before firing back at the person, in order to leave them confused and unable to respond.
In her Words: “The whole abortion pill that everybody is fronting….is fine, I don’t know but, what me I have to say is…
“The way I am, when we are fighting and you tell me that Phyna you are mad. Before I will continue with you, I will accept it. I will first accept that madness and say, ‘In fact, I just left the psychiatric home.’
“The way this whole thing started. When someone actually called me…said, ‘I can’t say the same for you because you are an abortionist. It was literally me doing it the way I know how best to do. And I said, ‘Yes, I have done abortion.
“Anything you tell me in the case of a fight, I like testing it because I see it as power. Because imagine you telling somebody that he is stupid and the person accepts it. What else do you now have to tell the person again?
“So that’s what happened with the whole abortion thing. I’m surprised people are now saying all these things.
“So imagine someone telling you something that they expect you to be hurt, only for you to accept it. What else would the person now have to tell you?”
”So there was nothing like abortion, you were just using it to catch cruise? Maduagwu queried.
“That’s how it is o!” Phyna responded. “We were just abusing each other back to back’, she replied. Sometimes, I wake up to see some things that I don’t even know ad I’ll just be looking.
“Everybody really watched me well in the house. When I am having an issue and you say, ‘Phyna, you are stupid.’ I’ll say, “Yes, I am stupid.
“Phyna you’re a foolish girl, I’ll say, ‘Yes, I am a foolish girl’ before I’ll tell you my own. So if you have the mind, collect the one that I am telling you.
“That’s just how it is for me. Right from time, that’s how I know how to quarrel. That’s it. And this now that’s…..I don’t know….I don’t know.
“Even if I’ve done it, I can’t literally just come online and blow it up. Like, I don’t understand. That was me just doing literally the way I know how to quarrel.
“If you call me a razz girl now, like the way they enjoy calling me a razz girl. I’ll accept it and I’ll say, ‘Yes, I am razz, I’m from the street’, I accept it.
“So, that was what also happened that day. And the next thing e come be like say…well, I don’t know.”
