“He would be proud of me” – Mercy Aigbe emotional as she fulfils her late father’s wish (Video)

The movie star, while speaking on her role at the premiere of My Mother Is A Witch movie, revealed that it was her late father’s desire to see her act in a Benin movie, which she finally did. Unfortunately, he isn’t alive to see the movie.

Aigbe wished he could see this, as she knows he would be proud of her.

Mercy is undoubtedly making her father proud in every aspect. The movie star beat several of her colleagues, such as Meg Otanwa, Tina MBA, Ireti Doyle, Ini Dima Okojie, Omoni Oboli, and Darasimi Nadi, to win Best Supporting Actress for her role in Farmer’s Bride at the AMVCA 11th edition.

Days before the AMVCA, Aigbe reflected on her first AMVCA win and noted that she has received several nominations since then. The wife of Kazim Adeoti expressed gratitude that despite over twenty years in the industry, she is still relevant and still gets nominations. Aigbe said she can’t override the power of consistency, authenticity, and reinvention in her journey.

Mercy Aigbe made her first delve into Cinema production with Ada Omo Daddy which grossed one N187 million and was the 3rd highest grossing movie in 2023. This was a huge milestone, especially with competition from Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham.

Following the success of her first Cinema movie, the movie producer had worked on her second Cinema movie, Thin Line which was also a success at the Cinema as it grossed over N100 million at the box office.
