How Iyabo Ojo, Mercy Aigbe ended beef at Toyin Lawani’s wedding

Iyabo Ojo Mercy Aigbe at Toyin Lawani wedding

Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe appear to have ended the cold war between them to the delight of their numerous fans.

The duo posed for a picture together at fashion designer Toyin Lalwani’s wedding which took place on Saturday, June 12.

The movie stars shared a picture of both of them standing together at the ceremony on their social media pages and their fans have taken to the comment section to gush over their favs as well as to celebrate their reconciliation.

Iyabo Ojo shared the picture on June 14 with a simple caption that read: “Fun times.”

Mercy Aigbe also posted and captioned the photo “It’s party time.”

Their mutual friend Toyin Abraham took credit for bringing them together as she shared the same photo with the caption; “Yes, I did it! Iyabo Ojo Mercy Aigbe love you both. I love peace, but I’m skilled at war.”

Iyabo Ojo has now shared more photos from the wedding ceremony.

In one of the posts she shared on Instagram on Wednesday, June 16, she was pictured all smiles with Mercy Aigbe and some other colleagues, she captioned this post; “Happy people Dayo Amusa Olufunmi Aj Mercy Aigbe Vikky Sog.”

The rivalry between the actresses reached a head after Mercy announced on Instagram in February 2021 that she was gifted a Range Rover HSE by a socialite popularly known as Mummy Glee.

According to Mercy, the vehicle was a belated gift for her 43rd birthday which took place on January 1.

Many of her colleagues and fans were generous in congratulating her.

One person who did not seem particularly impressed was Iyabo Ojo who had announced back in September 2020 that a goddaughter gave her a Range Rover Evogue.

In what many see as a direct attack on Mercy, Iyabo Ojo wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday, February 6, “Nothing beats being yourself! there is nothing more toxic and stressful than trying to compete. Honestly, it’s getting old.”

Although the two women carry on as friends in public and their daughters Priscilla and Michelle are considered good friends, there is a constant competition to outdo each other.

Iyabo Ojo went full throttle in celebrating her newly acquired apartment in the Lekki area of Lagos last year, two years after Mercy bought hers in the Magodo area.

In an industry rife with rivalry, envy and jealousy, fans would be hoping the reconciliation of Iyabo and Mercy at Toyin Lawani’s wedding will last for a long time.
