Mercy Eke Speaks About Relationships In The Big Brother Naija House And How The Couple Are In It To Impress Their Fans

Mercy Eke interview with Chude Judeonwo

Mercy says and she’s talking about relationships in the house and what they call ‘ships’ that the worst part of it is because people believe that these relationships are what the fans want, people believe that these relationships are what the brands want, people think that these relationships are what helped people succeed outside the house, people do all they can to stay inside these relationships.

Sometimes they find themselves performing happiness in these relationships because they believe that’s the perception that people want.

She says people are often even performing happiness in their relationships to people who don’t have relationships to speak of in the first place and therein lies a tragedy wrapped inside comedy because essentially many of us are allowing our lives to be dictated by people or allowing people to tell us how to live our lives, people who haven’t figured out how to live theirs.

Many of us are making far-reaching decisions about who to be with, what jobs to take, how to spend our money, and what to buy first when we hit a windfall, because of people that follow us, people that look at us, people that are our peers, people that went to school with us, people that…whatever it is, we want to impress others who haven’t figured their own shit out and so we mess up the things.

We figured out that to impress them is a zero-sum game.

And who wins? Nobody, not the person you’re trying to impress, and not yourself, but who loses? Not them, the only person that loses is the person that doesn’t have strong enough a core to say, “The only person whose opinion truly matters in my own life is me, and the only voice I should follow for the decisions I choose to make for my life should be the best interest of myself”; but too many of us are caught up in this Rat Race, and too many of us are destroying our lives for people whose voices shouldn’t matter in the first place.
