I’m happy with my new status, Mercy Aigbe brags

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe

Actress Mercy Aigbe has said that being addressed by her new title ‘Haija’ makes her happy.

The 44-year-old said this in an Instagram post on Sunday.

She said: “Okay I must confess this Haija status is now Sweeting me. My Muslim fans y’all have a lot to teach me oh cos with this my new Muslim name I’m considering Haija Minnah baby girl for life.”

The actress sparked controversy after revealing Kazim as her husband on January 23. She was accused of breaking up the movie producer’s marriage to his wife.

She, however, stated that as a Muslim, Kazim has the right to marry more than one wife and she did not break Funsho’s home.

She also cleared the air on Kazim’s relationship with her ex-husband Lanre Gentry, insisting they were never friends.

She said, “They were never family friends as speculated by Funsho and what is been peddled on social media. The picture (in question) was taken in 2013 during Adekaz’s fortieth birthday, and I was still married to Gentry then. I attended the event with my then husband. My husband is a Muslim and he is allowed to have more than one wife. I did not break his marriage to Funsho.”
