Phyna ridiculed over wrong pronunciation of ‘NAFDAC’, she responds

• A viral video has shown Phyna promoting a herbal brand to her followers.
• In an attempt to pronounce NAFDAC, Phyna pronounced it as NAFTAG
• Her pronunciation has elicited a lot of reaction from online users, with many mocking her and others suggesting it was an intentional mistake.

BBNaija season seven winner Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, mocked over her incorrect pronunciation of the acronym ‘NAFDAC‘, which stands for the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.

In a video advert, Phyna attempted to say ‘NAFDAC‘ but pronounced it as ‘NAF-TAG‘, sparking a wave of criticism and mockery from her followers.

The former BBNaija housemate was seen in a viral video, advertising a herbal brand to her Instagram followers.

However, she erred in her attempt to reassure her target audience regarding the product’s approval by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

This prompted mixed reactions from social media users, with some criticizing her and others speculating that it was a deliberate blunder.

In the midst of the controversy, Phyna reacted to a post’s comment section, where she was reprimanded for mispronouncing the word.
