Popular Nigerian actress and movie director Mercy Aigbe has explained how she separates her work from her wifely duties to her second husband Kazim Adeoti.
The thespian who opened up during an interview with Punch said that she tries to balance handling her business affairs with him because their relationship is based on mutual understanding.

“Our relationship is built on mutual understanding and respect,” she said stressing that she considers herself a business partner, not a wife, whenever money is involved.
Mercy said; “We disagree. I am very stubborn, and he is also stubborn. However, we respect each others opinions, and we don’t argue unnecessarily. Rather, we argue sensibly, and then we don’t look down on each other. Whenever any one of us makes a point, we both think about it and figure out the best way to do things. Our relationship is built on mutual understanding and respect, and that has been helping us.
“When we are doing business, I am not wife, but a business partner, because money is involved. I wear a different hat when it comes to business When we are at home, I wear the hat of a wife.

“He is actually a very understanding person, and he is not the bossy type. He is a good listener, and that makes him a good leader. Whenever I talk, he listens. He tries to reason with me, and we meet in the middle.”
Mercy did not fail to explain how she got through the early stages of her marriage to Kazim, including being accused of grabbing the man, by staying focused and not caring about people’s approval of her decision.
She said, “I just stayed focused. I am in charge of my life, and I know what works for me. At the end of the day, whether it is a good or bad decision, I would be the one to face the consequences. I don’t need people’s validation for whatever decision I take regarding my life.”
