Ever since she began her career in the Yoruba movie industry,she has made more headlines than some of her older and contemporary colleagues.Born Mercy Aigbe to Edo parents,this beautiful lady and mother of one,has been at no one's mercy.Rather,many producers are at her mercy for she can't just be wished away in the Nigerian movie industry.Her selling point is the talent God has given her.Aside this,her humility also contributes to her selling point.

She got her break from Wemimo Films in Ibadan,and it was through one of the movies they produced then.She got help from people like Uncle Yinka Quadri and several others.Many have attributed her sudden rise in the industry to her ability to 'roll with those that matter.'Instead of losing sleep over such weighty remark,Mercy simply accepted the insinuations as her price for being in Nollywood.Imbued with sound intelligence,a result of her stint with soap operas and her study at the University of Lagos,where she read creative arts.

She studied creative arts at the University of Lagos simply because of her love for the arts.Before then she had an OND in accountancy from The Polytechnic,Ibadan.She joined the movie industry in 2005,and started acting in 2006.She started with soap operas like Super Story,Images and Treasures,she later Yoruba flicks.Her first Yoruba flick was Sebeyan Ni, but got her break after acting in the flick known as Ara.She has featured in close to 80 films and also been able to produce her own flick and it is entitled Abimbola.

It hasn't been easy for her as a single mother but thank God.She is having a wonderful time bringing up her child.Although she agree that at the time she became a single mother,she was badly traumatised.In fact,the most traumatising period for her her was when she parted ways with the father of her child. It was so upsetting for her because she went into the marriage with naivety, but came out as a single mother,.Her relationship with the father of her child is cordial but no room for reunion,they are just friends.Aside that,she is in a relationship with another man at the moment, and my daughter has taken so much to my fiance that she calls him 'daddy'.It's challenging enough that she is in the public eyes and he is private person, but,she simply want to do as he wishes and keep him away from the public.

She is enjoying her current status,but the challenge comes mostly from what people choose to believe about actresses from what they read.Another thing is that she doesn't go unnoticed;she doesn't have her privacy anymore,but in all,it's what she prayed and worked hard for and it has come to reality.
