“Why I May Not Get Married ” – BBNaija Mercy Eke Reveals
While in a recent chat with media personality, Hero Daniels, Popular BBNaija Star, Mercy Eke narrated how she is being pressurized by her mother to get married.
According to Mercy, after considering the rate of failed relationships, she isn’t thinking of getting married, but wants a child around her.
Mercy revealed that to accomplish her wish without getting married , she might either consider adopting a child or get pregnant outside of wedlock.
She further revealed that the pressure from her mother seems to be hitting her, because of the society she found herself, unlike the westerners who do things that make them happy without considering any form of cultural beliefs.
Some of her words;
“I had said that I was gonna buy a baby. Not like buying a baby. Just get someone, take my eggs, get someone to be a sperm donor, hire a surrogate, and have a beautiful baby.”
“That is what I was thinking because [of] my mum and her village people. She’s always going from one traditional wedding to another”.
” You know, when you had gone to one thousand traditional weddings, they are now asking, ‘When is your daughter doing her own?’ I said, ‘Mummy, nobody should pressure me o!”.
“So, I was like I could just have a baby. Happiness is happiness anywhere you find it. If you wanna give birth, you wanna get it elsewhere. That’s why I love Westerners”.
“They just do what they like. Unlike where people would want you to be a certain way. But right now, I love that people, especially women, are doing what they like, however they deem fit”.
“Now, that marriage sef. It’s like I go just carry belle, born, and rest. And, once I have a baby outside of marriage, I am not getting married again. Because the kind of love I will give to that baby, I will not love any man again. All my love, I will give it to my baby. So, I’ve only one relationship left in me.” She said.
