Mercy Eke Says Her BBNaija Victory Was Carefully Planned To Inspire Women
Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner, Mercy Eke, has once again become a topic of conversation after opening up about how she meticulously planned her path to victory in 2019. In an interview with Bella Naija, Mercy explained that her success wasn’t accidental but the result of preparation, confidence, and determination. “I calculated all the days we’d spend in the house and packed for the full 99 days. I was ready,” she said. “When I won, I did it for every young woman who’s ever been told she can’t. Now, more women have won, and many more will.” Her remarks stirred debate across social media. Some users applauded her for inspiring women and breaking barriers, while others accused her of being self-congratulatory. One user, @Detolarnee, argued, “If Tacha wasn’t disqualified, you wouldn’t have won,” while another, @Heylumi_s, wrote, “You did it for yourself, not for women.” Despite the criticism, many fans rallied behind her, describing her as a symbol of hard work and grace. “Mercy is focused, humble, and drama-free — that’s why she keeps succeeding,” said @Sassenacker. Mercy made history in 2019 as the first woman to win Big Brother Naija, a landmark victory that redefined the perception of female housemates and inspired future generations of women to dream bigger.
