A- list actress , Mercy Aigbe , has confided in Sunday Scoop that letting her 17 – year- old daughter, Michelle , attend university in another country is very emotional for her . She said , “Her absence hasn ‘ t really been easy . We ‘ ve been together for 17 years before she had to go to university. Letting her go is very emotional for me . I still miss her a lot . She ‘ s a big girl now and she ‘ s starting her own journey in life . I have brought her up well; I have inculcated the values I want her to live by in her . I have given her the foundation and I wish her the best . She ‘ s always in my prayers. It’ s just painful that after university, she ‘ ll probably get married . ”

Sharing tips on her beauty regimen , Aigbe said , “I try to live a healthy lifestyle. I try as much as possible to stay away from fatty foods and I drink lots of water . I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits . I know this may sound cliché but that is how I ‘ ve been able to look younger than my age . I also exercise when I have the time to because I ‘ m not able to do that as much as I would have liked because of busy schedule. Anytime I ‘ m free, I jump on the treadmill and burn some calories. ”

On her current projects , Aigbe said , “ I ‘ m presently working on a Yoruba movie and it would be out soon . It is titled 77 Bullets . From the title, you should be able to picture what you would see in the movie . I will be taking it to the cinema and I am 100 per cent certain that people will like it. Some of the actors in the movie include Yinka Quadri , Abimbola Ogunnowo and lots of A- list actors ; it’ s a star – studded movie . I have also done a lot of other jobs with other colleagues. Asides movies, I ‘ m also a fashion entrepreneur and I ‘ ve done a lot in that regard . My daughter recently launched a make- up line and we ‘ ve been doing a lot of work on it.
The actress , who was recently unveiled as a brand influencer for Mary Mak Professional Skincare alongside Bose Omotoyossi and Biodun Okeowo , expressed delight with the new deal. She added , “ I am delighted with this partnership with Mary Mak Professional Skincare because even before now , I had actually tried their products . When they contacted me , I asked them to send me some of their products , so I could try them and be sure of the quality . I like to represent credible companies . When I tried the products , I was happy because the results were amazing . I am influencing some specific products for the company such as the body scrub, facial cleanser , face cream and Glutathione patch. ”
