Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe is giving her senior colleague, Sola Sobowale, her flowers.
While sharing a throwback video of her on set with the movie star, Aigbe said it was the first time she met and acted alongside her.
She described Sola as an incredible woman, an icon, a powerhouse and a true inspiration. She appreciated her for the opportunity and for trusting her with the role.
“Throwback to one of my early days in the industry.
The very first time I met and worked alongside this incredible woman, @solasobowale … an icon, a powerhouse, and a true inspiration. Thank you, ma, for this opportunity and for trusting me with this role in your movie OHUN OKO SOMIDA.
Grateful for moments like this that became part of my journey”.
While speaking at a recent event, Aigbe shared her encounter with a female producer who downgraded her and set conditions. She claimed the producer told her to call Mercy about a job, and that Mercy has to give her permission before she can work with other people.
Earlier this month, Aigbe reflected on her career journey as she celebrated 20 years in the industry. Sharing a video of the movie that shot her into stardom, Aigbe noted that, despite being in the industry for over 20 years, she is still here, still evolving, still walking in purpose, and still becoming.
Not done, she wrote a heartfelt note to her fans, appreciating them for love, loyalty and support. She noted how from then and now, they’ve all grown, evolved, and stepped into their own paths, which is beautiful to see.
The wife of Kazim Adeoti had reacted after a fan crowned her the ‘003’ of Nollywood. She replied with a video of herself vibing to Fast Fast Comot, a song by artist Mavo. The lyrics focus on moving quickly, living fast, and not letting anyone hold you back.
Last year, 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 and noted that she had received several nominations since then. The wife of Kazim Adeoti expressed gratitude despite having been in the industry for over twenty years, she is still relevant and still gets nominations.
