She wrote, “Small thing I go hear ‘I like you but I dey fear your papa’, Naso person wan take marry?”

Mercy has gained attention on social media, where videos of her interactions with her father often go viral. She is known for her close bond with Charles Okocha, which fans frequently admire. While her exact age is not publicly disclosed, she is believed to be a teenager or young adult.

In a related note on marriage pressures, Nollywood actress and singer Vee Iye opened up about the growing expectations she faces as she nears 30.

Gossip News Now reports that in a post on January 18, 2026, Vee described how conversations around her life have increasingly focused on marriage, even coming from people who rarely check in on her personal life or career.

She recounted how a friend she hadn’t spoken to in years, who recently moved abroad with her family, immediately asked about her marriage plans rather than inquiring about her work or financial wellbeing.
