ThisDay Style released their weekly issue today and their cover story centered on Nollywood's Best Dressed and most of the pictures used were from the 2016 AMVCA. Surprisingly Mercy Aigbe Gentry who was seen as one of the best dressed at that event wasn't on the cover. Mercy wasn't going to let it pass and she called them out in an Instagram post. She wrote..

Evil minded and proud guy, so he is saying he has no fault, and he definitely ain't showing remorse . He writes all these to manipulate his daughter in the future into thinking he cared about her but couldn't have access to her coz of her mum's refusal. Wickedness!!! An unrepentant soul!!!! Then he goes on to use this evil things he did to these women as a way to make fast and easy cash by making a song out of it. Low life!!!, lazy man!!!, selfish soul!!! Unrepentant deadly being!!!! Money hungry being!!!!!

Wrong woman ???? You mean the one you used as your punching bag!

Idiot. As old as you are, you are blaming your dumbness on another human being. Shame on you!!! Kai, people are so daft. Just apologise and move on instead of exposing your stupidity, if your child comes home to say he was pressured to be foolish by another person, will you not deal with that child. A grown up like you. Ewu

If you try to read this comment to the end... You'd realized that there's a bit difference between being rich and being poor... If you continue reading this comment, get it clear that you're about to read the part that will blow your mind away and actually have either a negative impact or a positive impact in your life... But listen... If you still insist on reading this comment let me tell you why I made this comment so that you can anticipate what am about to tell you... What am about to tell you will shock you and probably make the world go on third world War... This is it... Since you insist on reading this comment, you've made it...

I dont think thisdaystyle meant any harm sha. Her fan that replied her just said the plain truth. Mercy Aigbe and Adesua Etomi looked nice on 2016 AMVCA but i dont think thisday was referring to only 2016. They were referring to the overall Nollywood dressers.

I don't see this as discrimination, after all there is no igbo only actor or actress there

They have their reasons

This is very bad of this day style. Dakore under best dressed that outfit was hideous. Mercy was best dressed and they ignored her cos she is a yoruba actress. Very sad and appalling.

Pls I hate wen we have to bring tribe to everything in this country. Just do ur best and forget about recognition.#grown up mercy.

Even that dress beverly naya wore that made her breasts look tired and dead was on the cover?

I've got nothing against her and the rest of the dress was okay. But, her boobs looked terrible. That dress was not for such boobs. Or perhaps it was the dress that pressed her boobs sef

Question is What is Nollywood? I remember those days nigerians fell in love with indian films even when we couldnt understand their language. We never stopped watching their films whether interpreted in English Language or otherwise. Bollywood is the second largest to Hollywod. Believe it or not, most Nigerians living abroad watch 99% yoruba nollywood movies because that connects us home. We would rather watch an American movie were there is no struggle to "accentualize" their english than watch english Nollywood. Its time we started embracing and celebrating our language actors and movies else we lose this precious heritage we overlook and down play because of a borrow oyinbo man language.

She was one of d best dressed so were others whose pix r not on d front page. She should have acted maturely by ignoring.

MumiAdasom said...

Like someone said,maybe her brand never ripe,have you noticed that fashion police usa don't analyse every female that graced the red carpet at an award ?They pick the popular ones to disect,shame or approve, if you make it to fashion police to notice what you're wearing,weather good or bad,then you have arrived. There maybe other better dressed ones among the attendees. But they don't comment on them at all.

Pls keep quiet which 90 percent watch dead yoruba movies?
