Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe Reveal: Journalists Are Our Bigger Problem & Jealous Colleagues

Mercy Aigbe, has disclosed that the major
challenge actors face in the movie industry
in Nigeria is bad press. According to her,
the
media has not been fair to the make-believe
stars because of what they write, which she
says members of the media profession do just
to sell their papers. Mercy further revealed
some people in the Nollywood try to pull
down their colleagues because of jealousy.
In her words, “Nigerian journalists have not
been fair to us (actors). It’s often very sad
when you see untrue, dirty details about you
in the papers. They rubbish our reputation in
order to sell their paper and it’s heart
breaking.
“Again, in the industry, you see people
beefing you here and there. They feel jealous
because you are relatively young in the
industry and you are getting more roles than
they who are veterans in the field. But what
they don’t understand is that it is by the
Grace of God. The Bible says that it is not the
power of he that ‘runneth’ but in God that
‘showeth’ mercy. God even says in the bible
that “I will show mercy on whom I will show
mercy.”
