For Mercy Aigbe and her new husband, Adekaz, the social media isn’t a place to hibernate currently.
The trend now is about their marriage and the interview they granted to an online platform, the MediaRoomHub.
To Mercy, she married Adekaz because she loves him, is at peace with him and he makes her happy.
“I married him because he is my best friend. He gives me peace; he makes me happy,’ she said.
But what if she married him for his money since Adekaz is a popular and rich marketer? Mercy reacted at this.
She retorted, “I am not poor to start with. I work very hard, and I wonder why people don’t see my hard work. I’m one of the most misunderstood people. I work so hard and hardly sleep. I have assets—my child is abroad and I pay school fees in dollars. I change naira to dollars, and I have been doing that before I got married. I don’t know how people got that notion that I married because of money. It is not like he is poor, I’m also rich. I’m extremely comfortable to God’s glory. I’m working for him because we are business partners. We complement each other, so I also brought something to the table—it’s not like I just walked into the relationship without any value. I’m not a gold-digger, I work hard for my money. All those influencing jobs you see me do, I charge huge sums of money—and my store is also the most followed on Instagram, so I make a lot of money from that too. I have over 10 million followers on Instagram. I have been doing business for years. I am the first set of people that made so much money from influencing before it became very common and we made a lot of money. People are always judgmental; they don’t know the true picture. I just want to tell Nigerians that I am not the first person to be a second wife. It is my choice to be a second wife, and I’m happy with it. If you can be happy for me, please be, if you are not happy, it is not my fault. They should just leave me alone.”
