Reality Tv star, Mercy Eke has averred that people hardly knows she is a diesel supplier.
The beautiful 2019 BBNaija winner made this known as a speaker at Nigeria Entertainment Conference held in April.
According to her: “Being famous and having fans is a two way thing. You have to know how to balance them.A lot of people just want to be famous and they don’t have any direction.I do really estate and also supply diesel to a lot of companies.I said to myself’ ‘You sold fuel, now that you have all these, you can do something about it’.As I am talking right now, I supply diesel to a lot of companies and people don’t know I am the one behind it”.
Speaking further, Eke also said she takes risks by investing in businesses she doesn’t know much about.
“I put money into businesses I am not even sure of, asking myself, ‘What if it doesn’t work’? What if these people abscond with my money. I put in money to get returns’.
On how her fans have been instrumental to her success, she said: “Each time I drop something you see the fans, they all want to support my business.When it starts happening to you, do not relent. People only associate with you when you are doing something right. No one wants to associate with a failure.You have to keep doing what you know how to do. You have to keep pushing however small it is. Make sure it’s something you can be proud of tomorrow.
I work for everything you see that I have. I work for everything I put out there. May be I am not so blessed for people to always give me things for free.I feel like my journey just started. Before I used to get things for free, now I have to work, but people don’t see that part”.
