She explained, “I had said that I was gonna buy a baby. Not like buying a baby. Just get someone, take my eggs, get someone to be a sperm donor, hire a surrogate, and have a beautiful baby.”
Mercy shared that she was considering this route due to the pressure she was feeling from her mother, who had attended countless traditional weddings and inquiries about when her daughter would have her own. She humorously mentioned the influence of “her mum and her village people” in her thought process.
Regarding marriage, she humorously stated, “That marriage self. It’s like I go just carry belle, born, and rest. And, once I have a baby outside of marriage, I am not getting married again.
