BIG Brother Naija Peper Dem Edition Winner, Mercy Eke, has finally opened up on the viral story that she is married to her American lover.
In a recent interview with The Sun Mercy Eke, who was in a relationship with an ex-housemate, Ikechukwu Onyema, said she is still single and not in any relationship, however she is not searching.
“I do not regret my love with my ex-boyfriend. Love is a beautiful thing and that was a beautiful experience for me. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but life will always move on. Right now, I am single, but not searching.”
Asked where she would like to be in the next five-10 years, she said, “Maybe in my husband’s house…(Laughter). I want to have my real estate business ‘Lambo Homes’ completed. My fashion brand, M&M Luxury, which is a fashion brand that everyone can afford to be up there. My brand is all about making women beautiful. One does not need to break the bank before she looks good.”
On the bad moments she had in the Big Brother Naija House, she recalled, “Bad moments could come in form of health challenges, family, relationship and mental crisis. These could be bad moments for someone. Most times, it is also for us to know that money cannot guarantee happiness. When I say, I had my worst times, don’t forget I am also human, I would have had a fair share of my personal challenges.”
As a sought-after brand ambassador, has Mercy Eke rejected any endorsement since she came out of the House? She said, “Yes, I have rejected a few brands. Some who would want to sign me on, but not willing to come to terms with my conditions. I like brands that do not want conflicts and work with all the ambassadors. Since brands pay millions to take their products to the next level, I have a responsibility to bring value to such works, but when someone likes to trade off conflicts, I do not like such. If brands do not agree to my terms, I might not work with them because I really want my peace as you can see that I am a work in progress. I would not want to work where peaceful atmosphere does not exist. I would not like to come to a shoot where people are all frowning, and that creates a bitter aura among the people who should collaborate. I would not want to be labeled a difficult ambassador to work with; so, if I see that from the onset, I might turn the offer down. But recently, Payporte unveiled me as their brand ambassador because we agreed on terms and conditions and I promise to represent them well. I dropped a lot of brands that could not meet up with my terms.”
