Mercy Aigbe Welcomes Daughter Michelle Home Ahead Of Priscilla Ojo’s Wedding

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe is basking in motherly joy as she welcomed her daughter, Michelle Gentry, back home for a very special event — the wedding of Priscilla Ojo, daughter of fellow actress and close friend Iyabo Ojo.

Mercy took to her Instagram page to share a touching video of the moment she reunited with Michelle at the airport. The clip, filled with smiles, hugs, and pure excitement, captured the emotional essence of their reunion. In the caption, the proud mom gushed over her daughter’s return, revealing that Michelle came home specifically to fulfill her role as one of the bride’s close companions, traditionally known as “Ore Iyawo.”

The phrase “Ore Iyawo” is a Yoruba term used to describe someone who plays a special part in supporting the bride during wedding celebrations — often a close friend or relative. Michelle’s involvement in Priscilla’s big day highlights the close-knit relationship between the two families, both of whom are prominent in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Fans flooded Mercy’s comment section with love and excitement, applauding the bond between mother and daughter and celebrating Michelle’s homecoming. The video not only showcased their affectionate reunion but also built anticipation for the upcoming wedding festivities.

With Priscilla’s wedding around the corner, all eyes are on the glamorous preparations, and Michelle’s presence is sure to add a special touch to the occasion. It’s a season of love, family, and celebration for both the Aigbe and Ojo households.
