The winner of BBNaija Season 4, Mercy Eke, is not happy with
the claims in some quarters that a man is responsible for her success.
In a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, the reality star
said, “In this part of the world, people believe a man is behind the success of
a woman, whether she is married or single. I work hard for everything I own
today. When people say a man is behind these things, I find it appalling.
However, it does not get to me anymore because what else would one say? It only
shows that my success is visible.”
When a fan asked her about the state of her relationship
with Ike Onyema, she said, “Break up happened. We are done. That ship sank a
long time ago. I am in a happy place and he is good as well. Stop flooding my
timeline with this silly question; we are over. So, let’s just keep it moving.”
Eke also stated that the fear of failure makes her stronger.
She said, “My biggest fear in life is failure. I don’t want to fail and go back
to the streets. I don’t want to roast corn anymore. I just want to keep doing
what I know how to do best. God has blessed me. The fear of failure makes me
stronger. I want to be a better person. I want today to be better than
yesterday. That is why no matter what is thrown at me, I would never stop
growing. I would never stop establishing myself and I would never stop
dreaming,”
According to the former BBN contestant, she sometimes
forgets that she is a celebrity. She added, “I worked hard for this fame and I
won’t let the fame get to me. Sometimes, I even forget that I am a celebrity. I
drive myself and do things a normal person does.”
