Nollywood actress and producer Mercy Aigbe has recounted an experience she had with a female producer, who placed stringent measures and requirements on her before providing her a job.

Speaking at a recent event, Aigbe said that the producer, whose identity she did not reveal, questioned her qualifications and warned that she would only be considered for roles if she got permission before taking other employment.

She claimed to have told the producer that she was already on set in Ibadan, filming another project and that a production manager had contacted her regarding a role, but had not followed up.

“The woman was like, ‘ Who is Mercy? I don’t have time. Better introduce yourself properly, or else I will cut the phone. She said the only Mercy she knows is Mercy Johnson and asked why I was calling her.

I told her that her production manager had called her about a job, but there was no follow-up. She asked me where I was, and I told her I was on set in Ibadan filming another movie, and she asked which permission I took to be filming another movie”, she said.

Recall that the actress marked 20 years in the industry weeks ago, reflecting on her career journey and noting that she remained active and evolving in her craft.
