Queen Mercy Atang, the Big Brother Naija star, is expressing deep gratitude after she and her family narrowly escaped a tragic accident caused by the collapse of her living room POP ceiling.
Sharing a video of the incident, Queen revealed that her younger sister and nanny were in the living room sewing when the POP collapsed, which left them running helter-skelter.
She recounted how her mother rushed into her room, telling her what happened.
Queen said she was frightened, but when she learnt that her sister and nanny were fine, her blood pressure came down.
Queen Mercy noted that just a few weeks ago, her garage POP fell, and now her sitting room POP has fallen.
She wrote: “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.
I got home around 4am. When I arrived, my kid sister was still sewing. 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.

I was trying to catch a few hours of sleep before starting my day when my mum rushed in to tell me what had just 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.
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.
Dear Lord, I am grateful
Thank You for Your love and Your protection.
I’m truly grateful”.
