Reasons Mercy Eke Fell Short of Winning Big Brother Naija Again

Mercy Eke, a Big Brother Naija reality star, has shared the reason behind her lack of success in the all-star competition.

Mercy ended as the runner-up in the 2023 all-star edition, losing to 22-year-old Ilebaye, who had won the “Pepper Dem” season in 2019.

But in a recent Celebrity Quickies video that was uploaded to comedian AY’s YouTube channel, Eke said that the reason she didn’t advance to the next stage of the competition was because people “were allergic to winners.”

“The first time I went into the Big Brother House, it was full of adorable, kind people,” the woman remarked. I won the show because I played the game. I found it adorable at first, but after returning a second time, I discovered that some individuals were allergic to it.

“They said something like, ‘She had that, she can’t get it back.'” This is hers, and she won’t get it back. They are averse to winners, which is why I was unable to win a second time. “She’s already wealthy, give others a chance,” they said.

“I really enjoyed this second experience. I won’t even try to draw conclusions from it because it opened my eyes to people’s true selves. I wouldn’t know a lot of things if it weren’t for this second experience, thus it can only be God’s doing. I had no idea that wanting to win again would be illegal. However, I am still the winner.

I Don’t Share My Relationship Because of a Past Error – Mercy Eke

Mercy Eke, a Big Brother Naija reality star, has disclosed her reason for not disclosing her relationship.

She claims that she has learned a lesson from her prior experiences.

In a recent Celebrity Quickies video that was uploaded on comedian AY’s YouTube channel, Eke revealed that she had fallen in love again but had chosen to keep her new partner’s identity a secret.

“I consider my dating life private,” the woman remarked. I believe I have made a few dating-related blunders by sharing everything on social media. However, as of late, I can state that this aspect of my life is still very personal.

Eke revealed that she can’t avoid talking to her secret admirer for more than a day.

She emphasized that the majority of the pressure placed on Nigerian celebrities comes from those in their immediate vicinity.

Despite this, according to the reality star, Nigerian celebs are setting new records.

Remember that a few months ago, Mercy Eke and her coworker Pere Egbi stated that they were not dating in response to rumors that they were after their on-screen chemistry at the end of the Big Brother Naija All Stars reality show.

Mercy has dated Ike, her BBNaija coworker, in the past. Their romance, which started during the 2019 “Pepper Dem” edition, came to an abrupt stop following the program.

BBNaija: Nigerians Didn’t Support Me Because I’ve Won Before – Mercy Eke Cries, Says It’s Wickedness

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 ‘Pepper Dem’ edition in 2019.
Speaking in a recent interview with Hero Daniels, Mercy broke down in tears, lamenting that her only “crime” was wanting “more”.
She said, “This last season of Big Brother, at a point, I started questioning myself like I feel like I’m too ambitious. Is it a good thing for a woman to want more? Because people almost made me feel like I’m too greedy. And most times when I talk to Biggie that’s what I ask him.
 
“In my head, I started questioning myself: Do I want too much? Should I have not looked for this? Okay fine, I’m 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 don’t even have anything but people made it like let others be there.
 
“I didn’t have any support apart from my fans. It’s still in my head and I’m not lying because it’s just pure hatred and wickedness what I went through. And I thank God that I went back to the show because I didn’t know that that is how people saw me. They almost made me feel like I’m wanting too much even though I don’t have it like that.
 
“I just respect myself. Package myself. Even when I don’t 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. That’s what I said to myself.
 
“But 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.”
