Mercy Eke is the Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner
Nigerian reality TV star Mercy Eke has said she wouldn’t mind having children out of wedlock.
In a recent podcast interview, the Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner explained that if she became pregnant before marriage, she would keep the baby, even though it is not something she is looking forward to.
Eke expressed confidence that pregnancy out of wedlock wouldn’t affect her, claiming that stigma against single mothers only applies to poor women.
“I won’t go the extra mile to get pregnant out of wedlock. But if it just happens, I would leave it and I would have my baby. I want three kids; two girls and one boy, or three girls. I love female children.
“Even if I don’t get married, I would still have kids. What most people don’t know is that the stigma of being a single mother only applies to women who don’t have things going well for them.
“The women [single mothers] that are shattering glasses, men are begging them for marriage. I can get married tomorrow if I want to. But what I want in a man, I have not seen it. It’s not like there is no suitor. There are plenty… So, even if I have a baby, I would still see a man,” she expressed.
