Mercy Eke is a video vixen and businesswoman from Imo State Nigeria. She is a recent 2019 BBNaija reality TV sensation also called Lamborghini by her fellow contestants. She intends to use the fame from this platform as a way to grow herself and her business. Already setting a trend for herself in the house she is gradually becoming a household name for different reasons of her physical look and her good heart. Thus invariably has given rise to her being the most searched name in Big Brother Naija history. Getting into the house she relates with other housemates who are charmed by her genuine spirit and personality. She particularly connects more with another housemate Ike whose full name is Steve Ikechukwu Onyeama. He is a Nigerian American based who is one of the contestants. Unofficially nicknamed IgweTupac he is drawn by Mercy’s personality and unremittingly confesses his undying affection to her which she takes with a pinch of salt.
Their relationship progresses to the stage they flock and coexist around each other most of the time not wanting to be away from each other. This coupling status apparently not planned has since triggered the love and sensation for the show as this has been used by some to last longer in the show. Watching as they both grow to understand each other is like watching a couples retreat. They have grown on a lot of viewers or I would rather say they probably remind viewers when their love was young and fresh.
Most interesting about this couple is their ability to bring to life the attainment of #couplesgoal, which seems to be the significant reason for their likeness by viewers. Though individually they exhume a strong personality of who they are but together they create beauty.
In the Big Brother Naija show, together they have been tagged the Bonnie and Clyde as well as Cookie and Luscious Lyon of this TV show. Bonnie and Clyde have been an inspiration to couples who exhibit elements of ride or die attitude which Mercy Eke and Ike represent for the show, making them special.
The ride or die element is evident in her recent action but also questionings if she is allowing emotions rule reason. This recent action of Mercy, during the head of house challenge on Monday 2 September 2019 kicked several housemates out of the competition leaving Mercy and Ike as the last contestant for the head of house. Going head to head resulting to a tie, for it to be broken, Biggie the all-seeing god and owner of the house gave them options. These options including them ruling together, thus only one person still has the immunity and coins that come with having the portfolio, meaning the other would not. Mercy with the ride or die approach gave up the throne for her king to rule who has desperately yearned for it. This selfless act of hers also gained her more fans and followership explaining why she is a sensation in the house coupled with her mother goose nature by always cooking for the housemates, usually leaving them asking for more.
Mercy Eke during the duration of the show has gained a massive fan base, making her a strong contender for the 60 million naira worth of prizes. Her affiliation with Ike has been termed by viewers as to why he is popular and a better person. They are a couple quick to fight and also quick to make up.
Their intriguing element of having each other’s is usually interesting to see enhancing their Bonnie and Clyde title. Series of the conversations and clips has them planning a heist as Ike has stolen coins from another housemate Omashola in the past. They have on several occasions to “fuck you up” in their terms when any housemate upsets them. They unite working together to deal with anyone who infuriates them. Ike has continuously threatened to give a black eye to enemies, even said he would give Gedoni a black eye running to his damsel's defence even when aware she is on the wrong side. Whether or not their relationship is toxic, is subject to criticism.
In trying to get their head in the game they form a small circle eliminating and perceiving everyone else as a threat. Ironically if they reach the top 5, and are faced head to head with each other, now push comes to shove with winning the money. At this point will Mercy allow emotion to rule over reason once again, knowing that Ike will quickly run to reason?
