Mercy Aigbe Calls Out ThisDay For Not Including Her in the AMCVA Best Dressed List

Earlier Today, ThisDay Style published its list of Best Dressed Stars at the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards Event…and Excluded Actress, Mercy Aigbe From the list.

Now, Aigbe has called out the Media House for excluding some notable figures from their list as well as ignoring her alleging that the media house refuses to acknowledge Yoruba actors.

Read what she wrote below:


Hey Fam….so I just came back from church and decided to check IG only for me to see plenty tags on a particular pix posted by @thisdaystyle …..I read pple’s comments asking why Mercy isn’t on the cover and at first I wanted to waka pass, but on a second thought I decided to talk about it, cos it’s been an issue dat has lingered for too long!…….I thought to myself why didn’t Mercy make the cover of @thisdaystyle best dressed list?…. Has @thisdaystyle ever featured a yoruba actor on their cover?………are yoruba movies not part of nollywood? …..is Nollywood not supposed to mean home grown Nigerian movies? …..hmmmmm I am very sure they didn’t coz, they won’t want to STAIN their cover with a ‘RAZZ’ ‘LOCAL’ yoruba actor!….Yes I am razz, Yes I am local and Yes I am a Yoruba actor!…..No I refuse to speak ur almighty English with fake British or American accent!….Because I’ll always remain true to myself!…I am ME ….Proud Benin Woman, Proud Ijesha’s wife and above all proud Nigerian. …And just in case e still dey be una like dream ‘LOCAL TI TAKE OVER’
