Marketer Kazim Adeoti has disclosed the virtues he loves most about his wife, actress Mercy Aigbe.
The marketer, in a recent interview, said he was drawn to the filmmaker because of her sincerity and integrity which she displayed during their first collaboration in 2011 on the film “Hajia Jemila”.
He noted that Aigbe returned the excess money he paid her for the job, unlike others who would have complained that the payment was not enough.
Praising Aigbe, Kazim said he was impressed by her integrity and decided to work with her despite advice to only collaborate with men.
He described her as a beautiful woman with a strong sense of integrity, and their professional relationship eventually blossomed into marriage.
“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,” he said.
