Nollywood superstar Mercy Johnson Okojie who
is currently on maternity leave has granted her
first 2014 interview.
In a recent chat with Punch, the mother of one
praised her husband whom she called her
manager.
She also addressed the rumoured fight between
herself and a colleague, Chika Ike.
Mercy Johnson said she plans to release her own
movie soon.
Interview excerpt below:
“First of all I always remain grateful that I am
appreciated and recommended by showbiz
personalities and Nigerians. That for me is the
biggest endorsement. The other one will come.
Keep your fingers crossed. I am humbled, grateful
and uplifted and full of gratitude to everyone who
‘Googled’ Mercy Johnson at all times.”
“It is simply commitment, having a great husband
and being submissive as a woman. And I must
add knowing how to deal with your differences
with love. Motherhood is just the best thing to
have happened to me and in no way would I say
it has slowed me or my career down.
“I thank God I am a mother because it has given
me the opportunity to understand what being a
mother is all about and I am extremely glad about
that. Motherhood and acting are different
responsibilities which I learn to manage well,
thanks to God and my husband.”
“Marriage is influencing my dress sense in a more
positive way. As I always say my husband is my
greatest critic but when it comes to my
profession, he understands and has made me
grow better than I used to. Sometimes when I
look back and see the dresses I wore I laugh real
hard and thank God for a blessed and
understanding friend, manager and hubby.”
Firstly, there is time for everything. Sit, relax and
watch me as an executive producer soon.”
In conclusion the mother of one said:
“I am not fighting with anybody. Last time it was
rumoured that Chike Ike and I had issues while
we were on set together. We had to take to
Twitter to deny it. Tomorrow it will be another
person. I am a peaceful person and I believe most
of the people in Nollywood are also peaceful.”
Nice one!! Wishing you a safe delivery mama
Purity.
