Former BBNaija winner, Mercy Eke, opens up about her second stint on the All-Stars edition, where she faced defeat against Ilebaye in 2023, securing the runner-up position.
Reflecting on the experience in an interview on Celebrity Quickies featured on comedian AY’s YouTube channel, Mercy Eke attributes her loss to the perception that some people are "allergic to winners."
In her own words;
“The first time, I went into the Big Brother House, it was all cute, lovely people. I played the game and I won the show. And I thought it was all cute, then I went back for the second time, and I found out that people were allergic to winners.
“They were like, ‘She had that, she can’t have it again. She has this, she can’t have it again.’ That’s why I did not win for the second time because they are allergic to winners. They were like, ‘She is already rich, give others a chance.’
“This second experience, I loved it. I will not even take anything away from it because it made me see people for who they truly are. It can only be God’s doing because without this second experience, I would not know a lot of things. I didn’t know that it is a crime to want to win again. But anyways, I am still a winner.”
