Big Brother Naija star, Mercy Eke has made a claim against Nigerians.
According to her, Nigerians refused to support her because she had won the reality show before.
Mercy said that apart from her fans, majority of the viewers did not support her in the just concluded All-Stars edition of the reality show because of sentiment.
She said most people refused to support her because she won the āPepper Demā edition in 2019.
Speaking in a recent interview with Hero Daniels, Mercy broke down in tears, lamenting that her only ācrimeā was wanting āmoreā.
She said,Ā āThis last season of Big Brother, at a point, I started questioning myself like I feel like Iām too ambitious. Is it a good thing for a woman to want more? Because people almost made me feel like Iām too greedy. And most times when I talk to Biggie thatās what I ask him.
Ā
āIn my head, I started questioning myself: Do I want too much? Should I have not looked for this? Okay fine, Iām not hungry but if I want this green, can I not want this pink? And is there a problem if I want white? It made me start questioning myself too much. Wetin I even get? I donāt even have anything but people made it like let others be there.
Ā
āI didnāt have any support apart from my fans. Itās still in my head and Iām not lying because itās just pure hatred and wickedness what I went through. And I thank God that I went back to the show because I didnāt know that that is how people saw me. They almost made me feel like Iām wanting too much even though I donāt have it like that.
Ā
āI just respect myself. Package myself. Even when I donāt eat, nobody is going to know. What people showed me, is just pure wickedness for nothing. Just for trying to be more. For trying to work harder. It was not easy to accept to go back into the House. Remember we had another winner in the House. But the energy they gave me both inside and outside the House, oh God! I said they would not see my tears. They will keep seeing me shine. Thatās what I said to myself.
Ā
āBut that is pure wickedness because I checked myself, what did I do wrong? I did not do anything wrong. I did not commit any crime. The only crime I committed was wanting more.ā
