    “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.”

    BBNaija All Stars: Mercy is my winner, says ‘love smitten’ Pere

    Former BBNaija All Stars housemate, Pere Egbi, has described Ilebaye Odiniya as the audience’s winner, saying in his heart, his true victor from the show was Mercy Eke, whom he considers his grand prize.

    Pere and Mercy fondly referred to shippers as ‘Percy’ suddenly sparked up romance towards the end of the show when many least expected.

    While the show saw housemates forming ‘intimate’ connections like Somgel (Soma and Angel), and Adenita (Adekunle and Venita), many internet users argue that none of these matched the closeness of the Percy (Pere and Mercy) alliance.

    Their affection, which viewers now dearly miss after the show’s conclusion, kept them glued to their TV screens day and night to witness their effortless chemistry.

    Even as the show progressed with numerous evictions, leaving only a handful of housemates, the Percy alliance remarkably transformed the narrative, making it just as captivating.

    They were seen in all corners of Biggie’s house, chatting, teasing each other, laughing, staring lovingly at each other, cuddling, sharing food, drinks, kisses, helping each other and so many more activities that left viewers wanting more and also wishing their ship started out quite early on the show.

    Pere who never envisaged being bitten by the Mercy love bug confessed to his colleague and friend, Cross during their final week on the show that he’d be heartbroken and may never forgive himself if he discovered he was being deceived by Mercy Eke after leaving the house.

    Mercy, on the other hand, confessed to Pere in the garden with their hands locked that she truly liked him a lot.

    Regrettably for the viewers and Percy lovers, the show ended on Sunday but they’re keeping hope alive, anticipating to see their most loved ship become official in the days to come.

    In the meantime, they continue to scamper through the internet searching for Percy videos to relive moments of their favourite duo.

    Then Pere, reacting, moved his hand close to his mouth and whispered with a beam, “She (Mercy) is my winner.”
