‘I didn’t marry my husband because of money’ – Mercy Aigbe

“I am not poor to start with. I work very hard, and I wonder why people donā€™t see my hard work. Iā€™m one of the most misunderstood people. I work so hard and hardly sleep. I have assetsā€”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 donā€™t know how people got that notion that I married because of money,” she said.

“It is not like he is poor, Iā€™m also rich. Iā€™m extremely comfortable to Godā€™s glory. I married him because I love him, not because of money. I married him because he is my best friend. He gives me peace; he makes me happy. I didnā€™t marry him because of money, in fact, Iā€™m working for him because we are business partners.”

Aigbe said they complement each other and at such wouldn’t describe herself as a gold digger.

“We complement each other, so I also brought something to the tableā€”itā€™s not like I just walked into the relationship without any value. Iā€™m not a gold-digger, I work hard for my money. All those influencing jobs you see me do, I charge huge sums of moneyā€”and my store is also the most followed on Instagram, so I make a lot of money from that too,” she added.

“I have over 10 million followers on Instagram and 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 donā€™t know the true picture.”

Kazim said he has been friends with Aigbe for over ten years as business partners before they started dating.

Rumour has it that Aigbe ended Kazim’s already existing marriage

“My family resides in the US, and I shuttle between Nigeria and the US because my business is here in Nigeria. If people say we are separated, maybe itā€™s because my family is not here with me in Nigeria.

So, Iā€™m good with my first wife, we are good together,” Kazim said in the interview.

Though there were issues initially, we are good now, everything is fine and back to normal. I am a Muslim and I am entitled to more than one wife, now I have two wives. I have two beautiful women and Iā€™m glad.”
