Big Brother Naija star Queen Mercy Atang has shared a harrowing experience after narrowly escaping a potentially fatal accident when the POP ceiling in her living room collapsed.
In a video shared online, Queen Mercy explained that her younger sister and nanny were in the living room sewing when the ceiling caved in, forcing them to run for their lives.
She recounted how her mother rushed into her room to inform her of the incident. “I was frightened, but when I learnt that my sister and nanny were fine, my blood pressure came down,” Queen Mercy said.

The reality TV star noted that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred at her home, revealing that just a few weeks ago, the garage POP ceiling had fallen.
“7:58am God said, not this family. Guys, I worked late into the night. I was at the airport picking up my girl, who had just arrived in Nigeria for her Guinness World Record project. Because of the limited time we have, we had to shoot all through the night,” she said.
She continued, describing the chaotic moments before the ceiling collapse: “I got home around 4am. I remember telling my workers to sleep in the sitting room and go home once it was morning. They both said they wanted to go home. The guy left, but I persuaded my girl to stay back; it’s not safe for a girl to be walking the road at night. By 6 a.m. this morning, she had left. Meanwhile, my younger sister and my nanny were still awake sewing. Normally, she sews till morning and then sleeps off in the sitting room. I thank God they didn’t sleep there today. They were still sewing when the POP ceiling fell. They both literally had to run for their lives.”
Queen Mercy added that she was just about to rest before starting her day when her mother informed her of what had happened. “The first thing I asked was, ‘Mommy, where is Doctor @dr_brightie and my nanny?’ She replied, ‘They’re upstairs.’ My blood pressure came down immediately,” she shared.
Reflecting on her busy schedule, the BBNaija star said, “A few weeks ago, it was my garage POP that fell. This morning, it’s my sitting room. Now, in the middle of all this, I’m planning my girl’s @kosi_ani Guinness World Record project, which kicks off this Friday. As the coordinator of this event, my brain is literally everywhere. Figuring out how to move my family to a more comfortable space while also ensuring this project is a complete success.”
She concluded with gratitude: “Dear Lord, I am grateful. Thank You for Your love and Your protection. I’m truly grateful.”
