Nollywood filmmaker, Kazim Adeoti, has opened up about his marriage to his colleague, Mercy Aigbe, and how she left a lasting impression on him before they got married.
Naija News recalls that the marriage of the filmmakers created a buzz online over accusations that Mercy snatched Kazim from his first wife, Funsho Adeoti.
In an interview with Oyinmomo TV, Kazim said he admires Mercy’s honesty and straightforwardness, while recalling a 2011 movie in which his wife featured.
The movie producer stated that he was accustomed to people complaining about payment after shooting movies, but was genuinely shocked when Mercy appreciated his payment and told him she had been overpaid.
Kazim further described his wife as not only a woman, but a beautiful one, who acted with great integrity.
He said, “What I really admire about her is her honesty and straightforwardness; it’s something I truly respect. I remember in 2011 when she starred in a film titled Hajia Jemila. After I paid her, I was already used to people complaining that the fee was too small. But in her case, she actually came back to tell me there was leftover money.
“I was genuinely shocked. At the time, many people advised me to only work closely with men if I wanted to succeed in the industry. But I decided to give her a chance, and she completely changed my perspective. She’s not only a woman but a beautiful one at that and still, she acted with so much integrity.
“Honestly, I never collected that remaining money from her, and we continued working together from there”.
