According to report, Phyna, the winner of Season 7 of the reality programme in 2022, has been publicly criticising the organisers and sponsors for not providing the full awards promised.
Quidax had made a commitment to award Phyna 1 BTC as part of her awards, however they have not yet fulfilled their promise even after two years.
After Phyna’s recent emotional outburst, they had a meeting with the reality star and presented her with an offer of N13m, which they stated was the equivalent value of 1 BTC in 2022 when they initially made the promise.
Nevertheless, Phyna conveyed her refusal of the offer through a video message posted on her social media platform. She adamantly demanded to be given 1 BTC, which she claimed is currently valued at about N90 million.
In addition, she demanded that the reality show organisers and their sponsors provide her with tickets for a trip for two to the Maldives, which was included in her prize package.
Phyna stated, “I have booked a trip to the Maldives for two people and I am currently present at the destination.” I am currently awaiting the acquisition of my tickets for the Maldives. I am unable to provide Kenya or Morocco as selectable options. If I desire to travel to Kenya or Morocco, I have the means to finance my trip.
Furthermore, Quidax has stated their intention to provide me with a sum of N13 million, based on the exchange rate of 1 Bitcoin in the year 2022. Prior to my rebuttal, I reminded them that as of my examination in November 2022, the value of 1 BTC was N22m, however, they persisted in asserting that it was N13.8m. I consulted Google and found that the value of 1 BTC was approximately N19m in November 2022.
If Quidax had provided me with my 1 BTC in 2022, I would currently have approximately N96 million stored in my wallet. Now you are informing me that you will provide me with a sum of N13 million. Consequently, what will be the resolution for all the losses I have incurred over the previous two to three years?
