I Am A Gold Fish – Mercy Eke
BBNaija Season 4 winner, Mercy Eke, aka Lambo, has described herself as a ‘goldfish’, with many rare qualities.
The reality TV star in a video shared on her Instagram page addressed the issue of how people perceive her.
Lambo, sounding quite annoyed, told her ‘raters’ that she was one female whose attention was difficult to get, adding that it was even more difficult for men to date her.
She lamented that many misjudged her because she was quick to smile.
Lambo said: “I don’t know what people take me for. Like I really don’t know how people see me.
You are a brag, Charity Nnaji hits Mercy Eke
“Go and ask people that have…like you all should go and ask people that dated me. I am the hardest to catch. Forget this my smile that we are smiling on the internet. Go and ask questions.
“It’s not easy chilling with me. It’s not easy getting my attention. It is not even easy dating me, let me just be honest with you people. Forget this thing.
Continuing, Eke said she was a goldfish, adding that this was why any guy she dated could not conceal their relationship.
“And there’s no guy that would want to date me that will hide me. That’s why you all know when I’m in a relationship and when I’m not, because; you can’t hide me. I’m a golden (sic) fish”’ she said. The post I am a ‘goldfish’, says Mercy Eke appeared first on The Nation Newspaper.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
