Big Brother Naija All-Stars finalist, Mercy Eke, has shared experience about her life struggles and family background.
The BBNaija Season 7 winner, who stated that she is ready to reap the fruit of her labour, revealed this on Sunday in an interview with Media Personality, Hero Daniels.
Mercy said that she came from a very humble background as she struggled with her family to make ends meet through farming.
In her words, “I did farming with my mum and brothers. People will buy land like this and give us to farm, but I’ve never been the type to look for sympathy. I’ve done it all and I’m beginning to reap from my hard work.”
When asked about how she deals with loneliness, she said is a devoted Christian, adding that she wants to be married and have a family with someone who cares for her and not want to be a ‘Baby Mama’.
“In as much as you want to be a boss lady, we just need that care, that somebody who just wakes up and checks on you. Someone who will be by your side and just do little things for you.
“At this point, I feel like I’m ready to settle down. I’m ready to have a family. I’m ready to have kids. I don’t want to be a baby mama. If I wanted that, I would’ve been one but no disrespect to ‘baby mamas’ but I’d rather be married first because I’m from a Christian home.
“Right now, I feel like I’m just ready for a baby first even as much as I want to be married, yeah husband dey hungry me but I feel like I’m much more ready to have a little one,” she stated.
NEWSTODAYNG gathered that, Mercy Eke achieved a remarkable feat as she became the first BBNaija contestant to reach the finals in two seasons.
She also emerged as winner in 2019 and secured the first runner-up position in the recently concluded 2023 BBNaija All-Stars reality TV show.
