Reality TV star and media personality, Mercy Eke, has opened up about her plans for motherhood, making it clear that she is ready to have children even outside of marriage.

The star shared her candid thoughts during a recent interview, emphasizing her independence and goal-oriented mindset.

In her words, she said:

“I’m ready to have a child outside marriage, this year I wanted to have a baby, something happened and I had to choose between that and the baby. At this point, I think if I get pregnant now, I’m just going to have my baby. I have worked so hard, and I think I can take care of myself and three kids. I’m a goal-oriented person that always sets things ahead for myself.”

Mercy revealed that she hopes to have three children, two girls and one boy and stated that even if she doesn’t get married, she will still have kids.

“For me, what people don’t know is all this stigma of having kids without a father is only applied to people who don’t have things going on well for them,” she added.

On her relationship life, Mercy explained that while marriage is an option, she hasn’t yet met the man she truly wants. She stated that if she wanted to marry tomorrow, she could, but she hasn’t met the right man yet.

The ex-BBNaija winner noted that while some men want to marry her for enjoyment, she still believes that even if she has a baby, she will still find the right partner.

Mercy Eke’s statements have sparked conversations online about independence, societal expectations, and modern approaches to family planning.

➜How old is she again The irony of life is that women mature faster than men, that's why they look down at you when you are 16-28.
➜ Fortunately, the wise ones among them at this age know the best thing to do, the unwise keep building fantasies but reality sets in in their 40s when biology no be your mate again.
➜ The biological instinct will set in and they will swallow any fantasy they had and face reality. That's why you don't need to argue with them, allow them come to reality by themselves. Nobody leaves this world alive...

. Here's hoping you don't lose the pregnancy lottery, as some women out there did. If your looks are important to you, maybe pay a surrogate to birth your kids for you.

Kobojunkie:
1. Wrong! The reason a particular set of women in your age group doesn't want to date you is that you are not what they want. They are not the problem.

SixSeven:
➜Kobo, save all those advice for youngsters here. I don pass that stage of life.
➜ For your number 3, what is your age range? Have you ever birthed a child?

SixSeven:
➜Women hate being pregnant but keep asking for it. Why? That's nature's beauty. If you like, post 1 million horrible images of women before, during and after pregnancy, women will still get pregnant.
➜ Two things can be right at the same time, they can hate pregnancy and they can love the results. I am writing most normal women here, there are some women that are off the charts but even the ones I know that are in bad situations, they still see their children as a silver lining. Even in war, women will still get pregnant.
➜ To the men out there, maybe some of them don't know, a woman literally goes through the valley of death to bring a new life to earth. Honor that woman if she bring pikin for you. Forget her bad habit, handle those kain Jezebel with long fork but if na correct woman, treat her like a queen. God is wonderful ❤️

Kobojunkie:
The same advice applies no matter what age group you find yourself in. You do yourself a disservice when you chase after those people who don't want or regard you. Make friends or date those who do.

2. It does not matter since the reality is that the world we all live in does not cater to any delusion that you would rather hold to there.

When a man makes money, he plans a family. When a woman makes money, she plans to distance herself from men. Meanwhile she most likely got that money from men

➜I appreciate your advice but sincerely I don't need it. You refuse to answer my question. I know you won't tell me your age but give me your age range and whether you've birthed before. I just attended a naming ceremony of a relative in her 50s who just gave birth. So I can talk about this issue from those I know, and those I have seen and from medical POV. I may not be one but I have learned from doctors numerous times the best time for men and women to get pregnant. If you like, ignore biology. The Internet is not my family. Reality is different from Cho Cho Cho.
➜ Even the lesbians I know, they start looking for kids once their brain resets. I just smile inside knowing fully well that for women matter, they say one thing outside, they usually mean something else. I don't fall for such gimmicks. Go and check the age of women who seek IVF treatment and their ages. Why doesn't it bother the younger women? Keep arguing, you have won. It's alright. Life will open your eye.
➜ All women must have menopause. Not all men have any pause. Keep arguing

Kobojunkie:
The study also suggests that a 50-year-old pre-menopausal woman, for instance, has a greater chance of having a smooth pregnancy and birthing a healthy baby if she were to have intercourse with a young man(below age 30) than with a man older than age 30.

2. We are not even talking IVF here, but of women dating younger men if they wish to have smoother pregnancies and healthier babies.

SixSeven:
➜I am not replying you. I am replying for the benefit of those reading Me wey don see Baba 80 de give woman Belle na im you de show stats Keep it up. It's okay for older women to go after younger guys but taboo for older men to chase after young girls Selfish beings. It's always about them alone.

Kobojunkie:
Nature never intended these things as some sort of competition for the human race, but rather as an opportunity to allow for the creation of the best possible outcomes for the entire race. An 80-year-old man with a higher risk of
