Big Brother Naija’s Mercy Eke has revealed why she might consider having her children via surrogacy.
In a recent interview with media personality, Hero Daniels, she said marriage might not be for her.
According to her, the world is changing and there are so many options for women when it comes to fertility. She said she doesn’t need to go the traditional way to become a mother.
She said her decision could stem from the pressure from the people around her mother who pushes her to inquire about her own marriage.
Mercy said, “I had said that I was gonna buy a baby. Not like buying a baby. Just get someone, take my eggs, get someone to be a sperm donor, hire a surrogate, and have a beautiful baby.
“That is what I was thinking because my mum and her village people. She’s always going from one traditional wedding to another. You know, when you had gone to one thousand traditional weddings, they are now asking, ‘When is your daughter doing her own?’ I said, ‘Mummy, nobody should pressure me o!’
“So, I was like I could just have a baby. Happiness is happiness anywhere you find it. If you wanna give birth, you wanna get it elsewhere. That’s why I love Westerners. They just do what they like. Unlike where people would want you to be a certain way. But right now, I love that people, especially women, are doing what they like, however they deem fit.
“Now, that marriage sef. It’s like I go just carry belle, born, and rest. And, once I have a baby outside of marriage, I am not getting married again. Because the kind of love I will give to that baby, I will not love any man again. All my love, I will give it to my baby. So, I’ve only one relationship left in me.”
