“These are the little things that make me ccry” – Mercy Aigbe shed tears as junior colleague Efe Irele surprises her on her movie set (Photos)

“Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe Adeoti was brought to tears by a thoughtful gesture from her junior colleague, Efe Irele.

Aigbe, a mother of two, shared photos on Instagram of herself holding a bouquet and a card. In the card, Efe congratulated Mercy on the launch of her new production and wished her great success.”

The card read, “Best wishes on your production, Aunty Mercy. Love you loads.
Efe Irele”.

The thoughtful gesture left the movie star in tears as she noted how the little things is what matters. Mercy also announced her upcoming project, Thinline, which would be in cinemas in December.

“It’s in the little things.

Thinline in cinemas this December y’all !!!!!!!”

Remember that when the movie star—who has over ten years of experience in the business—entered the realm of cinema production, she joined the ranks of Omoni Oboli, Funke Akindele, Toyin Abraham, and others. In December, Aigbe made her film debut with Ada Omo Daddy, which was favorably received by Nigerians. 

The actress lost her cool when her film made $107 million, making it the third highest grossing picture of all time. Considering the opposition from Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham, this was a significant accomplishment.

Her husband, Kazim Adeoti, had expressed pride in her as he reaffirmed his love for her. Celebrating his wife, Adeoti acknowledged her resilience, creativity and vision. He stated how proud he was of the woman his wife is and for taking a stand for herself. He sincerely appreciated her fans, who came out to shower her with love and support to make the milestone achievable.


Kazim Adeoti, also a filmmaker, has been the backbone of Mercy Aigbe’s career since their controversial marriage in 2022. The couple wagered the storm that came their way by standing tall and holding each other’s hands.

Different videos on social media captured how supportive Kazim Adeoti had been for his second wife’s project.
