Mercy expressed that some believed she had already achieved success and should give others a chance.

“This second experience, I loved it. I will not even take anything away from it because it made me see people for who they truly are. It can only be God’s doing because without this second experience, I would not know a lot of things. I didn’t know that it is a crime to want to win again. But anyways, I am still a winner, ” Mercy Eke added.
