“I Haven’t Found What I Want in a Man” — Mercy Eke Explains Why She’s Still Single

Reality TV star and BBNaija Season 4 winner, Mercy Eke, has opened up about why she is still single, saying she has yet to meet the kind of man she desires. According to her, it’s not due to a lack of suitors — in fact, she said she could get married anytime she chooses.

Speaking on a recent podcast, Eke said: “What I want in a man, I have not seen.” She added that she doesn’t mind becoming a mother before marriage, although she is not actively trying to do so.

Eke explained that if she unexpectedly became pregnant outside marriage, she would keep the child:
“I won’t go the extra mile to get pregnant out of wedlock. But if it just happens, I would leave it and I would have my baby.”

She argued that societal stigma against single mothers is mostly directed at women who are not financially stable.
“Even if I don’t get married, I would still have children. 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.

The reality star also shared her dream of having three children — preferably two girls and a boy, or three girls because she loves daughters.

Speaking further, she said successful single mothers often receive admiration and marriage proposals:
“The women [single mothers] that are shattering glasses, men are begging them for marriage. 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.”
