Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, now known as Hajia Minnah following her conversion to Islam, has been criticized for using the wrong title.
In a recent social media post, the actress used the caption, “Hajia Minnah” which attracted negative comments from an angry fan who claimed that Mercy had used the wrong title to describe herself.
The fan pointed out that as Mercy had not yet been to Mecca, she should not be using the title “Hajia” and should instead be referred to as “Mallama.”
The fan also suggested that Mercy’s husband should have corrected her and taught her the proper use of the titles. Despite the criticism, many still praised the actress for her beauty.
She wrote:
“You’re not supposed to address yourself or be addressed as “Hajia” yet because you haven’t been to Hajj in Mecca. You are to be addressed as “Mallama” your husband was supposed to have taught you that.”
