Reality TV star and businessman, Omashola Oburoh has admitted sincere love for his colleague, Mercy Eke, affirming that she deserves nothing less than the finest treatment and that he would readily choose her as his Best Friend Forever (BFF) all over again.
Discussing his reason for picking Mercy to join him in the HOH lounge as a BFF, Sholzy in his emotive diary session showered Lambo with accolades.
He recounted that after announcing his upcoming wedding later in the year, all the housemates applauded, but Mercy’s extraordinary gesture left him profoundly touched and forever endeared to her.
The father of one said that Mercy accepted to offer free accommodation and a car to his family and friends who would be coming to Nigeria for his wedding ceremony, a gesture that deeply moved him.
He said: “This is what Mercy did, Baba. She took me to the garden and told me, ‘I had a four-bedroom apartment in Lekki and a car I might not be using. If you need it, I can give it to you. So, when your people come, they’ll have a place to stay and a car to move around’.
Omashola screamed, ‘Thank you’, in agreement
He continued: “Big Brother, if you tell me there’s only one person I will take upstairs as a BFF, I’ll pick Mercy all over again. That girl deserves gold, she deserves raw gold.
“And that thing touched my heart. This was three weeks ago, not today. It’s not like I won the head of house then she came to me and said, ‘Omashola, blah blah blah, no! She came to me on her own. And she won my heart.
“When she came to South Africa, I didn’t do too much for her like I did to every other housemate. I don’t need to say what I did for every other housemate, they’ve said it with their mouths; how much I took care of them.
“But for Mercy, all I did was just security. I was like her chaperone. I really didn’t do much, so I don’t deserve that much from her either. She doesn’t have to but she did. And I asked her, ‘Are you serious?’ Even a friend won’t do that. That’s what much more than a friend can offer.
Sholzy also noted he would willingly give up his vote for Mercy if he had to because of that singular act, describing the man who’ll end up marrying her as truly lucky.
He added: “Big Brother, I don’t care what anybody says in this house, I’ll pick that girl again and again. And if I even have the opportunity to vote for people in this house while here, I’ll vote for her. And cancel my own vote to vote for her because there are things that people do…
“You can give a man a million naira and all that but how you make a man feel, good or bad; he’ll never forget it in his lifetime. And that’s one thing I know I’ll never forget. Even if it’s going to happen or not but for the fact that she offered a hand at that point in time like that; Big Brother abeg the girl off me. I love that girl die. I love her die!
“Whoever she’s going to get married to, that person is a lucky person. That person should just be thanking God because this girl, she’s different; I swear to God. So, that’s why I picked Mercy and I will not hesitate to do it again.”
