The Iyabo Ojo Mercy Aigbe age debate gained attention after Iyabo Ojo insisted she is ten days older than Mercy Aigbe, playfully demanding to be addressed as “Aunty” during a joint interview session.

In the video, Iyabo Ojo described her colleague as a “younger sister” who refuses to accept the age difference, adding humour to the conversation.

“She’s my younger sister, but she never likes to admit it. I’m older than her by 10 days,” she said.

The exchange took a nostalgic turn as Iyabo Ojo revealed how she first met Mercy Aigbe, noting that she approached her colleague when she was new in the industry after hearing comparisons between them.

Mercy Aigbe later reshared the clip on her social media page, playfully countering Iyabo Ojo’s claim by suggesting they are age mates, further fuelling the friendly banter.

The video has since sparked warm reactions from fans, many of whom praised their chemistry and enduring bond within the Nollywood industry.
