Nigerian actress, Mercy Aigbe has been trolled on social media by Nigerians for an outfit she wore on her 40th birthday.
The borrowing brouhaha unfolded on Instagram when an angry bride with username @rettypety called out her designer, Maryam Elisha @rikaotobyme for borrowing out her wedding gown to Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe for her 40th birthday photoshoot.
The bride’s Instagram post infuriated Nigerians and trolled the actress for borrowing a gown meant for someone with some telling her to pull down the photo and apologize to the bride.
Some too were of the view that the designer erred and for that matter actress Mercy shouldn’t take all the blame since she may not have been told that the gown belonged to a bride.

Below are comments from some Nigerians concerning the issues:
@ifeanyi “I don’t know how Mercy Aigbe feels, finding out that the dress she allegedly borrowed from a tailor for her 40th birthday photo was actually an innocent girl’s wedding dress and that the tailor had lied to the girl that her dress wasn’t ready. Why are tailors this wicked?
@ali “Not just the careless tailor! Mercy Aigbe deserves the dragging for working with a promise & fail tailor. A woman of her class!!
@clintonvice “The tailor/designer sold someone else’s dress cos mercy aigbe probably offered to pay more.In the process ruining another’s special day.. Loyalty is very rare

@platinumb “If Mercy Aigbe has any integrity she will take the photos down sha. A birthday shoot cannot be more important than your reputation. Even if she didn’t know before, she does now. Remove yourself from the situation.
@oneme “I really don’t understand what Mercy Aigbe’s fault is in this tailor matter. Being a celebrity is both a gift and a curse.
@omeyimi “The painful thing is that Mercy Aigbe might not have known about it but Nigerians are dragging her instead of the designer @ogbeniopa “I don’t know why y’all are directing insults to Mercy Aigbe instead of d uncultured swine tailor. The painful part was, the tailor didn’t respect ownership of a Bride’s cloth on HER wedding day ffs.

@emperorgwill “please now that she knows the background of the dress the honorable thing to do is take down the pic and apologize to the bride…has she done any of this so far! The ans is fat NO…so please allow us keep talking till it enters her head..
@sketchmac “The designer is a crook,, if there’s any one to be sued or arrested it should be the designer
@yoonieg “You guys… I think if this whole story is true, the one at fault would be the designer. Its obvious @realmercyaigbe can afford any kind of clothe she wants so I believe she must have paid the designer aswell. Let’s not insult her abeg.
@bilkisu “You should take down these pictures. It’s not proper since you know the history behind this dress.This is so unfair. If you have a heart you should do the needful

@kaysmalz “Mercy may not have been in the know but the fact she still kept the dress and still has this post up means she’s just as guilty as the tailor Smh!
