The drama started after Mercy took to her Twitter handle to show off her PVC while urging fellow Nigerians to collect theirs ahead of the general elections.
Sharing the snapshot of the PVC, Mercy Eke, who celebrated her 29th birthday only a few months ago, blurred out her date of birth.
This, however, did not stop an inquisitive Twitter user from using other information on the card to dig out Mercy’s profile—she was revealed to be 32 years old from her government-issued voter’s card. Read here.
“You covered your date of birth and left VIN that shows everything about you. Does this make sense to you?. Anyway, I’m here to inform your that I just found out that you are 32 years of age. Don’t come here 29th Sept and claim 25 years o. Have a nice day”, the Twitter user wrote.
In response, Mercy explained in a now-deleted tweet that there was an error in her date of birth on her permanent voter card and that she did not lie about her age.
“You all are so dense. So I should not collect my PVC because of a common mistake in my name, occupation and dob. Don’t worry I will sponsor your tears on my 30th”, she wrote in part.
