Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eyes contestant, Queen Mercy Atang, has reached a significant milestone as she turns 30.
As she celebrates her first birthday as a married woman, she took to Instagram to blast her fellow housemates who often lie about their age.
Queen shared a video where she was presented with a cake that initially showed her age as 25, but a man in the background changed it to 30.
In her caption, she expressed her joy in
reaching this milestone.
“Let celebrate a milestone.
Happy 30th birthday to me”.
In a different post, she said that she has been experiencing God’s constant love, mercy, and grace for a span of 30 years.
“This is 30 years of enjoying God’s unwavering love, mercy and grace”.
As anticipated, numerous individuals inundated her comment section with well wishes.
Saga Adeolu commented, “Happy birthday my love. I wish you the very best in life”.
Cute Abiola’ wife commented, “Happy birthday Queen”.
Angel Smith’s mother commented, “Happy birthday baby”.
Lucy Edet commented, “Happy birthday Queen”.
Mercy Eke’s sister, Sweery commented, “Happy birthday sweetheart, May all your desires be granted. Amen”.
Few days ago, actress and filmmaker Wumi Toriola caused a stir on the internet with a debate about her actual age.
She shared beautiful photos on her social media page and dramatically announced that she would be turning 40 in July.
However, she hinted that her post was just a joke by saying how her schoolmates would be surprised at her sudden age change.
In May, Uche Ogbodo had a disagreement with a troll over her age. The troll reminded her that people born in 1986 would be turning 38 this year, implying that Uche was lying about her age. Uche didn’t take kindly to the comment and responded angrily.
In February, Nkechi Blessing celebrated her 35th birthday and lashed out at those accusing her of lying about her age. She told them to continue being bothered by her age while she shamed them for not progressing.
Last year, Big Brother Naija winner, Mercy Eke, faced criticism after her real age was revealed.
She sarcastically addressed the issue and, in an exchange with a troll, disclosed her true age.
Her sister, Sweery Eke, came to her defense by sharing a screenshot of Mercy’s birth certificate.
She stated how people would still be talking about her sister’s success and age in 2050.
Sweery also pointed out that the only criticism against her sister is due to her level of achievement at the age of 30. She then listed Mercy Eke’s accomplishments.
Similarly, last year, Actress Caroline Danjuma faced severe online criticism when she claimed to be turning 35. This left many people in disbelief.
In response, Caroline blasted her trolls and called them unintelligent. She also shared pictures of her mother, who she claimed was in her 50s, questioning how she could be in her 40s.
Additionally, she questioned those who asked for her certificates, wondering if they had ever demanded their parents’ certificates before believing their age.
