“I’m Still Standing!” — Mercy Aigbe Celebrates 20 Years of Stardom Ahead of AMVCA 2025
As anticipation builds for the 2025 Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe is taking a moment to reflect on her enduring journey in the film industry.
Sharing throwback photos from her first AMVCA win in 2014 via Instagram, Mercy expressed gratitude for remaining relevant more than two decades after her debut. Her latest nomination—for Best Supporting Actress in the movie Farmer’s Bride—she says, is a powerful reminder of how far she has come.
Aigbe credited her staying power to consistency, authenticity, and a willingness to evolve. She also extended appreciation to her fans, team members, and the creators of Farmer’s Bride, acknowledging their vital roles in the movie’s success.
She wrote:
“As we are gearing up for AMVCA 2025, let me throw back to 2014 when I won my first AMVCA!
“After that Win, I received several nominations, and this year, I received another one in the Best Supporting Actress Category in Farmer’s Bride!
“Firstly, to God be the glory that after well over 20 years in this industry, I am still relevant and still getting these nominations.
“I cannot underestimate the power of consistency, authenticity and reinvention in my journey.
“Constantly getting this recognition is incredibly humbling and such a huge honour. It’s a reminder that all the hard work, the sleepless nights on set and the passion I put into my craft have been seen and appreciated.
