Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna took a tender moment to celebrate her late sister Ruth Otabor’s son, Bernard, on his birthday. Despite recent online controversies involving the Dangote Group, Phyna paused to share a heartfelt tribute to her nephew on social media.

She wrote, “Happy birthday to the bright star my sister left with us. In your smile, your eyes, and your spirit, we see pieces of her every day. You are a blessing, a joy, and a reminder of love that never fades. Today, we celebrate YOU—your growth, your happiness, and the amazing person you're becoming. May this year fill your heart with laughter, strength, and every good thing life has to offer. Keep shining, champ; her light lives through you, and we'll always celebrate you loudly.”

She also added affectionately, “Oh my Bernard,” showing her deep love for her nephew.

The birthday tribute comes in the wake of Ruth’s tragic passing in an accident involving a Dangote truck in Auchi. Phyna has previously acknowledged the support she received from the Dangote Group, including assistance with funeral arrangements.

Through the celebration, Phyna continues to honor her sister’s memory while cherishing Bernard’s growth and the joy he brings to the family.
