Reality TV star and Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna Otabor, has issued a strong ultimatum to the Dangote Group, insisting that her sister, Ruth Otabor, be flown to India for further medical care after a tragic accident in Edo State.

The incident, which occurred on August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic, came just six days after Ruth celebrated her graduation. The crash left her with severe injuries that tragically required the amputation of her leg.

On Sunday, Phyna visited her sister at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, where she was also seen in discussions with members of Dangote Group’s management.

In an emotional statement, Phyna wrote:

“I am putting my sister as Dangote’s child, because if not, Dangote will not bring his child here; they will fly them abroad. Dangote will not bring his child here. They must fly her to India.”

In response, the Dangote Group confirmed that its officials had visited the accident site, engaged with law enforcement, and met the family at the hospital. The company also pledged full medical support and compensation under its welfare policy.

Phyna, who rose to national fame in 2022 after winning BBNaija’s Level Up edition with a ₦100 million grand prize, has vowed not to relent until her sister receives world-class treatment.

Opinion: A Cry for Justice or a Test of Corporate Responsibility?

Phyna’s ultimatum may come across as fiery, but at its heart lies a valid concern—the gap in medical care between the privileged and the ordinary Nigerian. She boldly compared the treatment her sister is receiving locally to the kind of care a billionaire’s child would get, raising an uncomfortable but important question: Is quality healthcare in Nigeria a privilege for the rich alone?

The Dangote Group’s swift response is commendable, but Phyna’s demand goes beyond compensation—it’s a call for equity and dignity in medical care. If corporate giants can afford to save lives beyond borders, shouldn’t accident victims associated with their operations receive the same chance at survival and recovery?

At the same time, Phyna’s outburst is also a reminder of the emotional turmoil families face in moments of crisis. Behind her anger is the voice of a sister unwilling to accept half-measures when her loved one’s life and future are at stake.

In truth, the issue is bigger than Dangote or Phyna—it reflects the broken state of Nigeria’s healthcare system, where people fear that survival depends on being flown abroad. Perhaps, this incident should spark a national conversation on building hospitals where Nigerians won’t have to beg for India, London, or Dubai to survive.
