From 29 years to 32 years in months
Mercy had covered her date of birth when she shared the photo of her voter’s card but she did not cover her voter’s identification number (VIN).
The fan identified as @onenaijapatriot used the VIN to investigate her real age.
The BBN star celebrated her 29th birthday months ago, with fans and celebrities attending her party.
However, it looks like the birthday age was her imagined age, not her actual age.

Meanwhile, social media users uncovered old pictures of Chichi, a housemate on Big Brother Naija, to prove she is ’40 years old’.
While celebrating her birthday, the reality TV star claimed she was only 23 years old, which prompted netizens to launch an investigation.
They dug up pictures as far back as 2014, and instead of showing a 14-year-old girl, Chichi was really looking older than her supposed age.
