Former Big Brother Naija winner, Phyna, has said that her single status is because many Nigerian men are intimidated by confident and independent women.

Speaking during a recent livestream on Twitch, the reality star claimed that a number of Nigerian men prefer partners they can easily control, and often avoid women who are self-reliant.
She added that outspoken women like herself are more affected, as some men tend to judge them based on their social media presence and choose to stay away even before meeting them in person.
Phyna, however, stated that she is unbothered by the situation, stressing that she has no intention of changing her personality to meet anyone’s expectations.
“I am a ten over ten. The thing is just that men are scared of bold and confident women. There are someone women that by mere looking at them you know that you can’t control them. But our Nigerian men like women that they can control.
“They don’t want women who have says or are exposed. So, we that are very loud about how we are, even without they meeting us, they are already scared and forming assumptions. But I really don’t care,” she expressed.
