Nigeria's Streaming Boom Will Soon Collapse – Phyna
Controversial reality star Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has expressed concern that Nigeria's streaming industry is on the verge of collapse.
Speaking during a livestream with Jeffrey Benson, she argued that the industry's over-reliance on viral moments and shallow content over substance is unsustainable.
The former Big Brother Naija housemate noted that many streamers resort to extreme antics and falsehoods just to gain attention, a trend she believes will ultimately lead to the industry's failure.
She admitted that she once followed a similar path but decided to step back, as she could not match the intensity of her male colleagues. She further encouraged streamers to focus on creating meaningful content rather than chasing fleeting fame.
She said:
"Streaming in Nigeria will soon collapse because Nigerians push streamers that clip farm, go crazy and tell lies just to entertain streams. I was crazy when I started but I decided to chill because I am a lady and I can't keep up with that."
