I have no regret falling in love with Ike Onyema, says Mercy Eke
Big Brother Naija, BBNaija 2019 winner, Mercy Eke has continued to prove to the world that she’s in the spotlight to stay.
This is so, following the numerous accomplishments and endorsement deals she has garnered in the past two years since she hit the limelight.
The reality TV star, however, upped the ante during the week as she sealed yet another major endorsement deal with PayPorte, one of Africa’s leading online fashion outfits. Mercy joins her fellow ex-housemate, Nengi as brand ambassador for the clothing line, which was the headline sponsor of Big Brother Season 3.
While unveiling the reality TV star, Mr. Linek Ovie, Brand Manager, PayPorte, said his company decided to endorse Mercy Eke as its latest brand ambassador because of her style, energy and the self-confidence she built while she was in the BBNajia house.
According to Mr Ovie, PayPorte which has rebranded has been studying the reality TV star for the past one year.
“Pay porte has re-strategised as a brand almost two years ago from selling everything to fashion. We have a mission “to inspire self-confidence and self-belief.” We truly believe that if African woman is properly dressed and she’s confident in what she’s wearing, the sky is her limit. Mercy Eke can walk up to anyone, aspire and achieve her dreams. And that journey has been amazing in the last two years.
“We have grown as a brand with presence in Ghana, Nigeria and Manchester. We also understand the need to bring in some amazing people into the family.
So, we are unveiling Mercy Eke, winner of BBNaija season 4. She’s an amazing person. We have been studying her for the last one year.
“She always stood her ground and she’s an entrepreneur which is what we want an African woman to be. She has also grown as a person and as a brand. We count it noteworthy to have her join the family to be our newest ambassador.
“Mercy is very energetic, she’s very passionate about the things she does and she is also a role model to a lot of young ladies. We are so proud to be associated with Mercy and her brand. It’s going to be an amazing journey together with her,”PayPorte brand manager explained.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface
Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.
Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.
In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.
The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.
“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.
“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”
In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.
He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.
“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.
Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.
In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Despite feud, Peter Okoye celebrates Paul on 43rd birthday
Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.
The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.
They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.
Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.
Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.
He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.

Tiwa Savage calls out Wizkid fan for bullying
Wizkid’s group of fans collectively known as “Wizkid FC” are popular for their vehement support for Wizkid and their antagonism toward those considered his rivals.
Tiwa Savage is the latest artist to call out Wizkid FC for harassment after some members of the fanbase mocked her for releasing a song on the same day as Wizkid.
On November 15, 2024, Ruger released his new song ‘Toma Toma’ featuring Tiwa Savage which she shared on her Instagram page with the caption “Told yall this one is special. The @rugerofficial called and I answered”.
In response, a Wizkid fan said “Dey play, nothing special pass Wizzy hits”.
The reply rubbed off wrongly on Tiwa Savage who said “Because I am promoting music? WTF…y’all are not fans anymore ooo you guys are actual bullies”.
