Mercy shared that it was her daughter, @qute_tosyn, who until the very last moment was offering her pep talks to bring home that plaque. Mercy said she initially brushed off such insistence; to her, just the nomination was a win. Yet, the little girl turned out to be on point. She thanked everyone for the corroborating congratulatory messages, calls, and postings that made her feel so loved.

And the comments? Actress Toyin Moore said, in Pidgin English, “The thing dey sweet me for belle,” which roughly translates to “This makes me so happy inside,” followed by some playful emoji and calling Mercy “sis.” Another fan, @4b3bi_, wrote, “You put in your all in the movie fr!” While @tiernyolalere cracked some jokes with, “Na me tell you for hall to go ahead and scream,” perhaps referring to a memorable moment of celebration.

The cherry on the cake was the playful complaint of @faksonoke: “Ahhhhh!!! Me seff talk am ooo. Mothurrr didn’t tag my name 😭” (Translation: “I said it too! Mother didn’t tag me!”). The replies, in an intriguing blend of Nigerian Pidgin and English, just made the entire thread ten times more endearing, while giving insightful insight into how tightly knit—and hilariously fun—Mercy’s circle is.

Known as an awesomely strong presence in Nollywood movies, Mercy has carved a name for herself as an industry power. This win only fuels that fire, with the outpour of loving support from many going beyond a simple recognition of her accomplishments on screen. Be it with her daughter’s unshaken belief, or with glances from her mates to her, one thing is sure: Mercy Aigbe Adeoti be not only accepting awards. She has really been accepting the hearts of many.

And, by the way, if her daughter is so right on the money, maybe someone should ask her for next week’s lotto numbers. Just saying.
