Former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate Mercy Eke has declared that she will only participate in a reunion for the All-Stars edition if the organisers agree to pay her an appearance fee of ₦100 million.
Mercy, who finished as runner-up to Ilebaye in the 2023 All-Stars season, made the statement while reacting to an online discussion about the possibility of a reunion.
New Daily Prime reports that while the show’s organisers have held reunions for past seasons, including the current “No Loose Guard” edition, there has been no announcement about a reunion for the All-Stars housemates. The absence of such an event has left fans speculating about what might have been.
The conversation was reignited after fellow ex-housemate Tolani Baj took to X (formerly Twitter) to suggest that an All-Stars reunion would have been one of the most dramatic yet. “BBN Allstars reunion would have been the messiest yet best reunion in history,” she wrote.
Mercy Eke, popularly called “Lambo” by her fans, responded with both enthusiasm and conditions. She agreed that the reunion would have been nothing short of explosive but insisted she would only attend if her appearance was valued properly.
“I’m so ready, just 100M,” she wrote. “Our reunion is going to be on an international level. No side talks, no pity games, no fake tears. Just boss babes and wealthy gents having real grown-up conversations.”
Her response quickly set social media buzzing, with fans divided over her bold request. Supporters argued that Mercy’s status as one of the most popular BBNaija stars, combined with her influence outside the house, justifies her demand.
Others felt the fee was unrealistic, pointing out that no housemate has ever been publicly offered such an amount for reunion participation.

Mercy’s comment also highlights her confidence in the potential impact of an All-Stars reunion. With a lineup of housemates who had already gained fame from previous editions, fans had expected drama, rivalries, and unresolved issues to make for one of the most talked-about reunions in BBNaija history.
The absence of the show has left many wondering why the organisers skipped it. Some speculate that scheduling issues, costs, or internal decisions may have played a role. However, the reality show has since moved forward with its 10th season, themed 10/10, which is currently airing.
Mercy Eke, who won the Pepper Dem season in 2019 before returning for All-Stars, has continued to maintain her relevance in the entertainment and fashion space. Known for her outspoken personality, she often makes headlines with bold statements and business ventures. Her ₦100 million demand is another example of her tendency to set high standards for herself.
For now, it remains unclear whether the BBNaija organisers will revisit plans for an All-Stars reunion. But one thing is certain: if it ever happens, Mercy Eke wants her presence to come with a heavy price tag.
