I Spent 24 Hours with a Reality TV Millionaire (Mercy Eke)

The full, unfiltered rise of Mercy Eke, from a polygamous home and street-level hustling to Big Brother Naija victory and elite business success.

Born into poverty, Mercy Eke grew up selling mamaput and black-market fuel with her mother just to survive. No privilege. No safety net. Only belief, discipline, and relentless ambition. Years before stepping into the Big Brother Naija house, she wrote down her intention to win and held onto it through hardship, rejection, and doubt.

Mercy went on to become the first female winner of Big Brother Naija, a two-time BBNaija housemate, and runner-up in the All Stars season. Beyond reality TV, she transformed fame into a lasting personal brand, building a major Nigerian fashion business, acquiring multiple properties, and owning luxury cars including a Lamborghini Urus.
