    Why I did butt enlargement surgery – BBNaija star, Mercy Eke opens up

    Reality TV sensation, Mercy Eke renowned for her prominence on the Big Brother Show, has opened up on her reasons for undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) in 2018.

    Mercy, who won the Big Brother Naija Season 4 Pepper Dem session in 2019, making her the first woman to win the show explained that she was influenced by peer pressure.

    During an interview on the Love is a Game show, the reality star said she was initially fearful and a bit hesitant about the procedure. However, she chinned up and decided to go through with it.

    She said, “To be very truthful, it was the trend at the time. I think this was around 2018 and it was the trend, peer pressure and everyone was doing it. I had a very good form and it wasn’t bad, the stomach was too much.

    “I was really scared when I wanted to do it; I didn’t tell my mum because I didn’t want anyone to discourage me. So it was me and two of my other friends, we planned it, paid, and did it together

    “Getting your body massaged after the surgery is the painful part. Not being able to sleep on your bum for about 14 days means you have to lay on your stomach. The massages the nurses give you to bring the water out are also tough.”

    Mercy further noted that the procedure was worth it.

    Addressing reports about facial surgery, Mercy clarified that she has only had fillers done on her lips, not her face.

    She said, “People keep saying that I touched my face, so I keep posting throwbacks for them to see. I have only touched my lips; I had fillers done, and they dissolve after three months. I feel like people need to be more educated.”

    Sharing the video on Tuesday, Saga appreciated his late mother’ impact in his life and that of his siblings.

    He captioned it; “My beloved..Sometimes I think these past 10 years have just been one long dream, maybe one day I’d wake up and step out into the living room to the smell of you making Akara, shouting “Ade boy, osese n ji ni!”. I guess that’s the dream itself and everyday I wake up to the reality that you’re no longer with me physically.

    “For 21 years you equipped me with everything I need. Every skill, from how to draw, sing, act, speak, perform, control my stuttering tongue, hard work, smart work, dignity of labour, love God, guard, protect and unite the family, love myself, neighbors and God, be a social butterfly, care for women and even how to be a good husband and father. It was a crash course.

    “For all of these, I will call you my Angel.. B’Okus. You’re gone but can never be forgotten.. I will tell my kids tales, the tales about how you mistakenly spat while driving from our car to another man’s face (someone that was going Jeje, driving his own car, not knowing his face will catch spit at some point) and we apologized and I had the hardest laugh.

    “I will always love you! Myself, my sisters, your husband and all the numerous lives you touched during your 49yrs on earth.

    “In honor of you, I will like to give a helping hand to 10 motherless like me.

    “N100,000 can be yours within 48hrs. All you have to do is enter my dm, tell me about your mum, why you need the money and attach your account details as well.

    “Tag anyone that might need this… this economy is hard enough as it stands

    “Always and forever.. mum.”
