Mercy Aigbe's Son Juwon Showers Iyabo Ojo with Naira and Dollars at Grandmother's Memorial Party

Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe marked the burial of her late mother, Mrs. Abisola Grace Owodunni, with a lavish after-party in Lagos on November 29, 2025, drawing an array of industry stars for a night of celebration and remembrance.

Among the standout moments captured in viral videos was a touching display of affection from Aigbe's son, Juwon Gentry, who showered fellow actress Iyabo Ojo with bundles of naira and U.S. dollar notes as she danced energetically on the floor.

The event, held in the upscale Lekki area following the interment on November 28, transformed grief into a vibrant tribute, featuring live performances by artists like Boye Best and Segun Johnson, alongside opulent souvenirs and gourmet spreads that left attendees buzzing online. Iyabo Ojo, a longtime confidante of Aigbe—who had reciprocated support at Ojo's daughter's wedding earlier this year—commanded attention in a series of eye-catching outfits, her infectious dance moves amplifying the festive atmosphere.

In the widely shared clip, the teenage Juwon, dressed sharply and beaming with youthful exuberance, approached Ojo mid-performance and unleashed a cascade of currency, eliciting cheers from the crowd. Ojo, visibly delighted, responded with laughter and graceful acknowledgment, highlighting the deep familial ties within Nollywood's inner circle. Social media reactions poured in, with fans praising the "sweet and generous" vibe: "Juwon is raising the bar—family love on full display!" one user commented, while another noted, "Iyabo's energy is unmatched; this party's goals."

The gathering boasted a star-studded roster, including Toyin Abraham, Femi Adebayo, Kiekie, Odunlade Adekola, Eniola Badmus, and even Davido's aide Israel DMW, who shared lighthearted interactions with Ojo. High-profile attendees like Ooni of Ife's wife, Olori Ashley, and media personality Abike Dabiri-Erewa added to the event's prestige, underscoring Aigbe's influence and the industry's solidarity in times of loss.
