Mercy Eke
Former BBNaija reality TV star, Mercy Eke has said that her mother told her that she tried to abort the pregnancy she had of her.
Speaking in her newly launched show, Mercy Eke who couldn't hold back her tears stated that her mother almost took the decision because she couldn't cater for another baby.
However, a decision to keep the pregnancy resulted in the birth of Mercy Eke who last year got N60 million as the prize money for winning the BBNaija reality TV show.
She said: “My mom told me that, when she was carrying me, there was this aunt of mine, my dad’s cousin, who came and asked her, ‘Are you still pregnant after all these kids you have?,” Mercy said.
“That really got my mom trying to abort me. My mum told that what she did was when she goes to the farm, she would climb a tree and intentionally fall from there to see if she could get rid of me.
“When she told me that, I had told myself that I had to make it, whatever it took to be somebody. I had to make her proud somehow for what she did for me.”
