My mom tried to abort me but I survived- BBNaija Mercy reveals [video]

The BBNaija season 4 winner Mercy Eke, has revealed how her mom tried to have her aborted while she was a baby but she’d survived.

Mercy who was speaking with media personality Chude, explained that her mom had started to feel bad when she was shamed for having 5 children already and still conceiving her.

She explained that her mom hadn’t gone for an actual abortion but had made moves that might lead to a miscarriage which didn’t end up working.

She added that her mom was however grateful that she survived as she was proud of what she had become as a grown up.

She said:

“When she [my mother] was pregnant, there is this aunty of mine…She [my mother] has already had five children then this last one which is me. She has four girls and one boy. So, when that my aunty came, she was like, ‘Ah! Emilia, is this another pregnancy? With all these children you’ve dumped here.’
“So, that thing messed with her [my mother] mental health. It really messed with her that she wanted to like get me out then. She was going to the farm, she would climb something you would fall so that I will go but me I stubborn na. I no go anywhere. I dey gidigba. Yeah, it was a true story. She wanted to get me off.
“One day, she [my mother] was like she wish that person was alive to see what that girl that she wanted to abort that time has grown to become. Yeah, that was how she told me the story.
She is happy with me. She is happy that she didn’t remove me or abort me. She is happy that I didn’t die. And she is happy she gave birth to me like she took that risk even without anything. Because now, my mother is one of the happiest people. My mother is just sleeping. She is enjoying life. She wake up, eats what she wants to eat. So, now she is happy.”
