    I was genuinely shocked – Kazim Adeoti reveals real reason for marrying Mercy Aigbe

    Nollywood filmmaker Kazim Adeoti has opened up about his marriage to actress Mercy Aigbe, revealing the lasting impression she made on him long before they tied the knot.

    The movie marketer in an interview with Oyinmomo TV, said he admires Mercy’s honesty and straightforwardness, while recalling a 2011 movie in which his wife featured.

    Reflecting on their early interactions, Kazim recalled a 2011 film in which Mercy featured. He noted that, unlike many others in the industry who often complained about underpayment, Mercy stood out for her honesty.

    After receiving her payment for the role, she surprised him by expressing gratitude and even said she felt overpaid.

    Kazim praised Mercy for her integrity, calling her not just a remarkable woman, but a beautiful one whose character and straightforwardness earned his deep respect.

    “What I really admire about her is her honesty and straightforwardness; it’s something I truly respect,” Kazim said. “After I paid her for Hajia Jemila, I was expecting the usual complaints about low fees. Instead, she came back to say there was extra money left. I was genuinely shocked.”

    He added that despite industry advice to work primarily with men to avoid complications, Mercy’s professionalism changed his outlook.

    “People told me to avoid working closely with women if I wanted to succeed. But I gave her a chance, and she proved everyone wrong. She’s not only a woman but a beautiful one who conducts herself with great integrity,” he said.

    Following the drama online, Kazim Adeoti via Instagram on Sunday addressed the allegations, saying that he was exempted from his wife’s birthday party.

    Contrary to the believe of many, the marketer stressed that he had been sending his wishes to her offline and she had always responded positively.

    He further pleaded that the media cease to publish derogatory comments about his family.

    The statement reads, “This is to address the recent media comments surrounding Mrs Olufunsho Adeoti’s 50th birthday celebration which was held in the US last weekend.

    “For the avoidance of doubt, the celebrant spoke about her plan for her 50th birthday party and how she wished to celebrate it. She wanted a party but shockingly she specifically said I should not attend. I asked her again to be sure in the presence of our children and to everybody’s surprise her response was consistent-she said NO.

    “That was her wish and I would not want to be embarrassed by attending a party that the celebrant asked me not to attend, so I stayed back in Nigeria.

    “Regardless of how painful her position was to me, I ensured that I supported her morally and financially towards the success of the party. I also informed and ensured some of our families and friends in the USA honoured her big day.

    “As I always do, I wish her a happy birthday offline and she acknowledged pleasantly.

    “Olufunsho remains a significant part of my life . I can never wish her anything other than what is beautiful in life because she is the proud mother proud my four lovely children. That can never be undone intact it is the most important things in my life.

    “I therefore will appeal to members of the public especially the social media, particularly the Facebook community to desist from making unfound and distorted comments about my family if you truly love and care about us.

    “The best way to support us is to let peace reign as social media is not real life.

    “Thank you, and God bless you,

    Kazim Adeoti.”

    “Kazim, you should stop painting a perfect picture of a marriage you clearly do not have with me, Oluwafunso Asiwaju Couture.

  • How my first wife left me with no option than to marry Mercy Aigbe – Kazim Adeoti

    How my first wife left me with no option than to marry Mercy Aigbe – Kazim Adeoti

    Mercy Aigbe’s husband, Kazim Adeoti has narrated how his first wife, Funsho Adeoti left him with no other option than to marry a second wife.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Kazim as saying that Funsho forced him to marry Mercy as his second wife when she permanently relocated to the U.S.

    Kazim made this known following the first wife’s recent outburst on social media.

    Recall that Funsho took to her social media page to publicly warn her husband and Mercy over the home they currently live in.

    The drama started after Mercy shared photos and videos of herself in her husband’s house on Sunday.

    However, this did not sit well with Funsho who warned the Nollywood actress to take the posts down within 12 hours.

    However, Mercy did not listen, but instead posted another video of herself in the house.

    This infuriated Funsho, who then went online to reveal that she furnished the house with her hard-earned money and threatened to take brutal action against her husband and Mercy.

    This prompted Kazim to weigh in to her claims and threats in a statement shared on his Instagram page.

    He disclosed that he built the house himself and his ex-wife only bought some furnishing for the house, to which he refunded part of the money to her.

    He added that his first wife forced him to marry a second wife when she permanently relocated to the U.S, adding that there is nothing wrong with his action because his religion, Islam, permits him to marry more than one wife as long as he can take care of them.

    “I have read many things that have been written about me and my family. Many of which are fabricated lies and some directly from my first wife (which understandably is angry married a second wife).

    “At this point it is necessary I put record straight. I have two wives. One lives in the US while the other lives with me in Nigeria.

    “As a matter of fact, just got back from America 3 days ago where I spent quality time with my family and tried to mend fences with my first wife who is obviously still angry I married a second wife (A move my religion permits as a Muslim).

    “And talking about being a Muslim and a responsible man, I make sure none of my family in US or Nigeria is suffering.

    “It is laughable that some people said I have abandoned my US family in as much as I travel to see them often.

    “For the record, I ensure my US family gets 1500 dollars since 2016 monthly until recently when I reviewed it to 1000 dollars cos our daughter is now in the private university and have been solely responsible for her school fees and upkeep.

    “In as much as there is nothing bad in husband and wife building house together, in my case, we did not. I built the house by myself.

    “When I was furnishing the house, she bought some furnishing materials and part of the money I have refunded. My second wife had added some furnishing to the house as well.

    “It is not in my character to speak ill of people who were once friends not to talk of my first wife (who is still my wife as we speak).

    “I will not speak ill of her for the sake of good and bad times we shared and the good kids that God gave us.

    “It is understandable that my first wife is unhappy about getting a second wife but she left me no choice when she relocated permanently to the US.

    “I am a muslim and Islam permits me to marry more than one wife as long as take care of them and I don’t maltreat them.

    “I can stand before God and man that as a man, have done my best not to maltreat them.

    “And I will not paint my first wife bad no matter what or use foul language on her and her family (who have been with us all through this journey).

    “When she came to Nigeria recently, we, she, myself, her family and mine had zoom meeting (we didn’t see physically). And our meeting was opened, honest and respectful.

    My husband is entitled to more than one wife – Mercy Aigbe fires back at critics

    Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe has fired back at critics for accusing her of ‘snatching another woman’s husband’.

    TVC talk show host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown disclosed on Thursday January 27, that Aigbe told her that her popular Yoruba filmmaker husband, Adeoti Kazim is a Muslim and is entitled to more than one wife.

    While this is Aigbe’s third shot at marriage, it is Mr Kazim’s second marriage. Kazim is also a father-of-four. His first wife, Funsho, lives in Minnesota, U.S. and is a notable fashion designer.

    The actress made the recent claim just after saying that her ex-husband Lanre Gentry and current husband, Kazim Adeoti were never friends.

    Morayo said, “I spoke to her (Mercy) last night, she called me to correct an impression and that it is wrong for us to say, ‘how can she go and marry her ex-husband’s best friend.’ She said they were never friends.

    “They only attended an event where her present husband, a marketer in the industry, invited her to his birthday party, which she had attended in her ex-husband’s company.

    “She told me that the man is a Muslim, he’s entitled to more than one wife, so yes, he has issues with the first wife, and he is now married to her as the second wife and as a second wife, doesn’t she deserve to be happy? ”

    The TVC host also revealed that Aigbe told her that people sent her derogatory messages on Instagram, and this has been depressing to her and her children.
