“I made up my mind that I was going to stay married.’ Mercy Aigbe Gentry On Her Marriage

Stylish Nollywood actress and mum of two, Mercy Aigbe Gentry revealed the secret to her seven years marriage to her husband, Larry Gentry, CEO of La Veronique Hotel was the decision she made before she got married.

The famous fashion entrepreneur attributed the success to God and her ability to cope with the challenges that always come with marriage.

The Edo-born entertainer made this known during an interview with ENCOMIUM Weekly who visited her in her Omole, Lagos office on Wednesday, August 3, 2016.

On the secret to her successful marriage to her hubby, she said:

”It has been cool and it’s been God all the way. Before I got into it, I had actually made up my mind that come what may, I was going to stay married. Although, I won’t say there weren’t some challenges along the way, I am just being focused.

”And I have been praying about it and God has just been helping me. So, it’s been God all the way.”

You’re one of the most fashionable Nollywood stars right now, what does it take to dress well?

”I always tell people, it’s not how expensive your outfit is that matters, but how you put it together, and that’s the style. To me, fashion is the material and style is how you put it together to ensure it fits you. At times, you may wear something very expensive and will look cheap on you because you don’t have the carriage. And it was not even put together properly.

”At times, when I wear a T-shirt of about N5,000 and a pair of jeans, people think I am putting on something very expensive. So, it’s the way you carry yourself. And it’s knowing what suits your body frame and what’s appropriate according to your age because a lot of people don’t know there are some clothes they shouldn’t wear because of their age.

”Then, what to wear, when and where to wear it to. Some people don’t understand all these. And all of these come to play when I want to dress up for an outing.”
