Mercy Aigbe Walks Into the AMVCAs With Grace, Gratitude, and a Legacy in Motion

As the countdown to the 10th Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA) continues, award-winning actress and filmmaker Mercy Aigbe is embracing the moment with joy, pride, and the confidence of a woman who has truly earned her place.

Stopping by the ESSENTIAL NEWS with radiant optimism, Mercy opened up about her AMVCA nomination, her enduring journey in Nollywood, and the significance of this recognition after more than two decades in the industry.

“After how many years, like 20-something years, and I’m still getting this recognition—it's humbling,” she said, visibly emotional. For Mercy, the nod isn’t just about accolades—it’s a reflection of her dedication, resilience, and evolution in a film industry she has helped shape from the ground up.

This year's nomination carries even more weight, as Thin Line—a film she produced—earned recognition for rising star Uche Montana. “It’s double excitement for me,” she beamed, proud to see her impact both in front of and behind the camera continuing to inspire and resonate.

With warmth, passion, and a legacy still unfolding, Mercy Aigbe heads into the AMVCAs not just as a nominee, but as a pillar of Nollywood excellence.
