Nigerian Reality TV Star and BBNaija winner banned from restaurant for “lndecent” dress code

NIGERIA – Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 7, also known as “Level Up,” was turned away from CALI, a trendy upscale restaurant in Lagos, for allegedly violating its strict dress code.

The encounter, which Phyna shared on her X (formerly Twitter) handle, has ignited a heated debate about the limits of personal freedom and the role of restaurants in policing patrons’ attire.

She took to her X handle to express her frustration, sharing a video that showcased her outfit – a sleek black gown with a daring backless design that exposed her chest and cleavage.

She captioned the video: “So I went to have dinner at CALI Restaurant, but they said I am dressed indecently and cannot enter. What is their problem?”

Netizens quickly took to social media to share their thoughts on the incident.

@TundeO: “This is ridiculous! What’s indecent about her outfit?”

@BlessedOne: “If you know the dress code, why deliberately flout it?”

@NaijaGirl: “Phyna, you looked stunning! CALI Restaurant missed out on a beautiful customer.”

@Nneoma Okoro : “CALI Restaurant has the right to enforce its dress code policy. Phyna should respect that.”

@Fashionista23: “Phyna’s outfit was on point! CALI Restaurant needs to update its outdated dress code policy.”
