Winner of Season Four of Big Brother Naija in October 2019, Mercy Eke has described relationships on the reality show as the biggest scam.
Mercy made the remark in a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Mercy was romantically involved with her fellow housemate, Ike Onyeama throughout the show but ended the affair after the show to the surprise of many.
She said of her romantic involvement with Ike; “BBNaija relationships are the biggest scam.
“It was even original for me initially, as a matter of fact, if I had known that I was a strong housemate and that people loved me for me, I wouldn’t have bothered getting involved with him.
“I wouldn’t say it was a strategy, for me, we flowed with it but we had to put up a show even when not happy for people who aren’t even in relationships.
“If it is not working out, you move but in my case I couldn’t, I had to be there cos of money, otherwise, I won’t have my complete money”.
Mercy revealed that the reality show now has a new female winner, Phyna and she hopes media attention will finally shift from her to Phyna.
On her Igbo accent, Mercy said, “I schooled in Owerri, primary and secondary. It was only the National Youth Service that made me leave Owerri. How do they expect me to speak?”
