Former BBNaija housemate Pere Egbi has reacted to Queen Mercy Atang’s viral bread-themed outfit at the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA).
Queen had earlier gone viral after appearing in a dress designed with bread-inspired details, which many social media users linked to her bakery business.
Reacting via his Instagram story, Pere praised the reality star’s creativity and marketing strategy.
“As a man, pray to marry a smart woman. Women like @queenmercyatang. See how she promoted her business with unmatched creativity. Now the ENTIRE WORLD is talking about her. Omooooo.”

“Must you marry her? Why not just be happy for them… everytime marry marry marry!!!”
@realidraphael also reacted:
“As a woman pray to marry a man like me, make women too dey make the efforts, Let’s raise the standard for them too.”
@BlessingMi66791 commented:
“One thing about Nigerians, we will turn every fashion moment into memes and hot takes.”
While some applauded the marketing idea, others criticized the execution of the outfit.

“Nice strategy.”
Meanwhile, @VickJev2 argued that there were better ways to promote the business without wasting food.
