Actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe has reflected on her career, motherhood, and personal losses, describing being a mother as her greatest source of pride. In a recent interview on The Morayo Show, Aigbe credited her faith for helping her navigate the challenges of parenting and life.
“Wherever I am today is a testament to me not giving up. Being a mother is actually what I am most proud of. I just love being a mother, and I think it is a huge blessing that God has placed the responsibility on me to nurture another human being,” she said. Aigbe also noted that she frequently seeks strength and wisdom through prayer.
The actress opened up about the passing of her mother, recalling the difficulty of receiving the news while abroad. “Up until we laid her to rest, I was in denial. I wasn’t in the country when she passed,” Aigbe said, adding that the loss still feels surreal. She shared that her close bond with her mother made the experience particularly painful and that she had hoped for her recovery.
Aigbe also revealed that her mother’s death affected her professional life, prompting her to pause filmmaking temporarily. “I didn’t produce a movie last December because of the loss. I knew I wasn’t mentally ready,” she explained, highlighting the personal toll of grief on her career.
