Nollywood actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo has shared a lighthearted revelation about her friendship with fellow actress Mercy Aigbe, disclosing that she is ten days older than her colleague.
The playful moment unfolded during a brief interview session where both actresses jokingly argued over their ages. Iyabo, known for her vibrant personality, insisted on the age difference and humorously demanded a bit of respect, teasing that Mercy should address her as “Aunty.”
According to Iyabo, “She’s my younger sister, but she never likes to admit it. I’m older than her by 10 days,” she said with a laugh, adding a fun twist to their long-standing friendship.
Beyond the banter, the actress also reflected on how their bond began. She revealed that she was the one who first reached out to Mercy when they initially crossed paths in the industry. At the time, Iyabo had already heard comparisons between them.
“I met Mercy when she had just started acting. People would tell me there was someone who acted like me. The day I finally met her one-on-one, I approached her first, and since then, we’ve remained friends,” she recounted.
The video, which has since circulated online, highlights the warm and playful dynamic between the two stars, offering fans a glimpse into the genuine friendship they have built over the years.
Mercy Aigbe later reshared the clip on her X page, adding her own caption, further fueling the amusing exchange between the pair.
“She doesn’t want to agree that we’re age mates.”
