Mercy Aigbe Kneels to Honour Oga Bello and Bukky Wright at Scar2Shine Event
Nollywood star Mercy Aigbe stole the spotlight at the Scar2Shine Emiralty Connect 1.0 in Lagos when she arrived late and paused to bow and kneel before veterans Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello) and Bukky Wright. Aclip circulating online shows Aigbe humbly greeting the seated icons, a moment that many praised as a beautiful display of Yoruba respect and Omoluabi values. Reactions ranged from admiration of her cultural gesture to reminders about event etiquette. This isn’t the first time an actress’s kneeling has sparked debate. Toyin Abraham faced similar backlash for kneeling to greet colleagues at awards nights and private functions. She defended her actions as a proud part of her upbringing and vowed to pass these traditions on. The discussion has reignited conversations about modern etiquette, respect for elders and the place of tradition in today’s entertainment world.
