Mercy Eke: I’m open to motherhood despite my single status

Winner of Big Brother Naija Season 4, Mercy Eke has expressed her views on having children, stating she wouldn’t mind if it happened outside marriage.
In a podcast interview, Eke said she would keep the baby and not be affected by societal stigma.
Speaking on her plans, Eke revealed she desires three children, preferably two girls and one boy, and isn’t so keen on marriage.
“I won’t go the extra miles to get pregnant out of wedlock. But if it just happens, I would leave it and I would have my baby. I want three kids; two girls and one boy or three girls. I love female children.
“Even if don’t get married, I would still have kids. What most people don’t know is that the stigma of being a single mother only applies to women who don’t have things going well for them”, she said.
According to her, single mothers who are successful aren’t judged harshly, saying, “The women [single mothers] that are shattering glasses, men are begging them for marriage.”
Eke expressed confidence in her own life, stating, “I can get married tomorrow if I want to. But what I want in a man, I have not seen it. It’s not like there is no suitor. There are plenty… So, even if I have a baby, I would still see a man”.
