Renowned actress and filmmaker, Mercy Aigbe, shared insights into her personal life, family dynamics, and her character in an exclusive interview with TOFARATI IGE, as reported by Punch News.
In this candid conversation, Mercy Aigbe opened up about her relationship with her husband and her own personality. She admitted to being strong-willed but emphasized the importance of mutual respect in their marriage.
"We disagree," she stated. "I am very stubborn, and he is also stubborn. However, we respect each other’s opinions, and we don’t argue unnecessarily."
She elaborated on their approach to disagreements, saying, "Rather, we argue sensibly, and then we don’t look down on each other. Whenever anyone of us makes a point, we both think about it and figure out the best way to do things."
"Our relationship is built on mutual understanding and respect, and that has been helping us," she emphasized.
Mercy Aigbe also praised her husband's qualities that have deepened her love for him, including his willingness to apologize when he's wrong.
"I like his smile and dark skin," she shared. "Beyond all that, I like his person. He is a very wise person, who communicates a lot. I believe that communication is key in a relationship because it helps understanding."
"I don’t like people that don’t talk. If you don’t talk, I wouldn’t know how you are feeling or what you want me to do."
"I also like the fact that he is very understanding. Whenever he feels that he is wrong, he apologizes."
"He is not the typical Nigerian man, who has a big ego. He is not egoistic, though he is strict. I like the fact that he is strict because I like people that have morals and values."
Furthermore, she highlighted her dedication to her role as a wife and mother, saying, "I cook for my husband. I do my wifely duties. Whenever I am at home, I always want everyone, including my husband and kids, to feel and appreciate my presence. Whenever I am at home, everybody is happy."
"And when I am not around, they miss me so much. I always make sure my family enjoys good food and other beautiful moments with them," she concluded.
