Reality TV star and winner of Big Brother Naija, Mercy Eke, has once again reminded fans that everyone’s journey in life is different and that includes motherhood.
During a recent interaction on Snapchat, a curious fan threw the ever-familiar question at her: “When you wan born this girl ehn fine girl?” Instead of dodging the topic, Mercy responded with grace, honesty, and a reminder that societal pressure won’t define her choices.
She admitted that while having children is a truly beautiful and fulfilling part of life, it isn’t the only part. “Having kids is a beautiful part of life, but there’s so much more to living. I can’t kill myself, alright?” she responded.
Mercy’s clapback has sparked major conversations online, especially among young women who face similar questions from family, fans, and society. Her reply is being hailed as empowering, real, and a much-needed voice in a world that often rushes women into timelines they may not be ready for.
