"I Don't Want To Roast Corn Anymore" _ Mercy Eke Discloses Her Fear

 

Big Brother Naija reality star, Mercy Eke has reacted to claims that a man is responsible for her success and more so her fear of the future because she doesn't want to roast corn anymore. In a video uploaded to her YouTube channel, the reality TV star made it clear that no man out there is responsible for her success because she works hard and even sometimes forget that she is a celebrity.

“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," she said.

Nigerian media personality disclosed that her biggest fear is failure and wouldn't want to fail and go back to the street to roast corn any more, "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.

“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.”
