BBNaija: ‘Nigerians didn’t support me because I’ve won before’ – Mercy Eke cries, says it’s wickedness
Mercy Eke, a former participant of Big Brother Naija, has asserted that, apart from her dedicated fan base, a majority of the viewers did not support her during the recent All-Stars edition of the reality show due to biased sentiments.
In a recent interview with Hero Daniels, Mercy became emotional as she lamented that her only “offense” was aspiring for “more.” She revealed that she began to question herself during the last season of Big Brother, wondering whether her ambition, particularly as a woman, was excessive. She felt that people made her feel as if she was overly ambitious. Mercy admitted to asking Biggie, the show’s organizers, about this self-doubt.
She expressed her internal struggle, saying, “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.”
Mercy went on to say that she felt she had minimal support, except from her dedicated fans. She also discussed the challenges she faced and the negativity she encountered, which she deemed as “pure hatred and wickedness” during the show. She expressed her gratitude for her decision to return to the Big Brother house, as it was an eye-opener to how people perceived her and how she was perceived as someone who was simply striving for more.
She concluded by sharing her determination to maintain her composure and continue to shine despite the unwarranted negativity, emphasizing that her only “crime” was her desire for more success and achievement.
Renowned Nigerian musician Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has suggested that he belongs in the same league as Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy are widely recognized as the foremost Nigerian/Afrobeats artists globally and are collectively referred to as the “Big 3.”
Rema is now asserting his position among this elite group. In a recent social media post, the ‘Calm Down’ singer stated that he now considers himself part of this league, stating: “No more Big 3, there’s now a Big 4.”
His statement has sparked mixed reactions, with some agreeing with him while others argue that despite his achievements in streaming and chart performance, he still needs years of consistent success to fully earn that status.
Renowned musician David Adeleke, also known as Davido, recently asserted during an appearance on an American podcast, ‘Business Untitled,’ that his family plays a significant role in Nigeria’s energy sector by operating four power plants. According to him, these power plants make substantial contributions to Nigeria’s electricity supply.
In discussing his family’s business ventures and personal investments, Davido mentioned his brief foray into cryptocurrency due to its popularity in Nigeria. He also highlighted his family’s involvement in the energy sector, emphasizing their ownership of four lucrative power plants that distribute electricity across a considerable portion of Nigeria.
Additionally, Davido disclosed plans to venture into the restaurant business with his wife, who has a passion for culinary arts. However, he reiterated that his primary focus remains on his music career.
While Davido’s family boasts wealth and investments in the energy sector, some observers may dispute his claim that their power plants supply the majority of Nigeria’s energy needs. The Nigerian government owns most of the significant thermal and hydropower plants in the country.
Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has pleaded with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to forgive him if they have any evidence against him abusing the Naira.
He said it was never his intention to mutilate the Naira, stressing that he only sprays money to help the masses.
Speaking in a recent Instagram live session, Portable noted that he respects constituted authority.
He said, “After God na government. I’m not mutilating the naira. I only help a lot of people. If you see me spraying money please forgive me.”
DAILY POST reports that the EFCC is set to arraign popular socialite, Pascal Okechukwu, aka Cubana Chief Priest for Naira abuse, days after crossdresser Bobrisky was sent to prison for similar offence.
