In an interview, when asked what she felt would make her win the show, her answer was ‘my body’.
There’s no denying that eloquence isn’t her thing; however, her curved body is never unnoticeable. Plus, she is a very lively character and has a fun-loving personality. Those traits turned out to be what won her millions of fans in Nigeria.
She confirmed her crush on Nelson and Gedoni, but she turned out to be friends with Ike. The pair became the most famous couple — if not the only legit couple — in the house.
Mercy and Ike were arguably the favorite pair in the house. Playing pranks on housemates, doing naughty, albeit enjoyable things throughout their time together.
On the dancefloor and every Saturday night parties, Mercy was a joy to watch. Indeed, those parties would be incomplete without her presence, as no one else could do the things she did.
Without a doubt, her assets have turned out to be a blessing to her and the people who enjoyed watching her.
People stayed glued to their TVs; therefore it is safe to say her presence was a real blessing to the show.
