He said Cross vowed that he [Whitemoney] would not win this time around, and he heard CeeC say a female would win the ongoing season.

He promised never to nominate Mercy for eviction and urged her to do the same, which she obliged.
They also reach an agreement that if any of them wins, the other will be the first runner-up.
Whitemoney said: “There’s a plot going on. Yesterday, I got to find out that not everyone here is happy that the winners are back. Neo was like, ‘It’s not fair’ that we are here.”
Mercy concurred, saying, “Yeah, I noticed some things.”
Whitemoney further said: “Cross said that he swears that I’m not taking it this time, that he’s the winner. Same thing CeeC, and all of them, saying na woman dey win am this time, even Angel.

“You see, as me and you take last enter here, na so we go be last comot. I give you my word: I will never nominate you and you do the same. When you’re up, WhiteMoney Gang knows what to do for Mercenaries and when I’m up, Mercenaries will support WhiteMoney Gang.
“Right now I would d rather have you win than any of these people. You win it, I’m your first runner-up, or I win it and you’re my first runner-up.”
Mercy responded, “Even me.”
Whitemoney won the 6th edition of the show, while Mercy won the 4th edition. The duo are the only past winners competing for the N120 million cash prize in the ongoing all-star edition.
