Controversial reality TV star, Josephina Ijeoma Itabor, popularly known as Phyna, has bemoaned the rate at which her family members feel so entitled to her wealth.
In the first episode of her podcast, “Spill with Phyna,” Phyna brought up the subject of how she left her aunt’s place at age 15 to start fending for herself.
The reality star revealed that her family feels entitled to the money she has earned for herself, with 98% of them feeling this way.
She said even though her father was wealthy at the time, he declined to take on the duty of seeing that she completed her schooling during this period.
She claimed that the experience made her start on her own when she entered a postsecondary school, requiring her to take on several jobs to make ends meet.
“I left my aunt’s house at age 15, she used to sell food at Auchi. Out of 100% of my direct family, I have 98% of my family members who are entitled”, she said in part.
