The reality star, who made history in 2019 as the first female winner of BBNaija, said the fame that came with the show changed a lot for her, both positively and negatively.

Mercy revealed that since she went into the BBNaija house, it has been hard for her to get married.

She explained that while BBNaija gave her a brand and financial independence, the constant public scrutiny and expectations have been overwhelming.

Since winning, Mercy has built a brand with endorsements, a skincare line, and TV appearances. But she says the transition hasn’t been easy.

Despite the challenges, the 31-year-old said she’s grateful for the doors the show opened and the fans who have supported her journey.

“I regret going to Big brother, now I want to marry, but it’s not easy. I’ve dated guys that I’ve given a lot of money, I give them money because they don’t have it.”
