Top Nollywood Actress, Mercy Jonson Okojie popularly known for her enviable acting skills and daring sense of dressing in movies obviously had a successful and fulfilled 2014.Mercy had been shown so much love all around the world after the birth of her two beautiful kids.She started the year 2015 by releasing a press letter where she promised her fans she is wont be revealing any part of her body or taking explicit roles as she used to because she is now a wife and a mother and she owes it to her family now to live the rest of her career decently.She writes:
One of the best feelings one can have is the feeling that some people who have never met you in person have your back.
I have experienced love from unimaginable people; Ghana, Liberia, Paris, UK, USA, Seychelles and all over the world.
Some met
me crying, gave me gifts, took pictures, asked questions, and some, not
so pleasant. But in all of these, I have no complaint because being
where I am is a gift and privilege by God. A privilege and a place I
never thought I would be, a few years ago.
This level
has its own attendant consequence, as I take in the blessing; I
appreciate the not-so-pleasant side as well. For this, I am grateful to
God, my fans, and stakeholders in the industry who love me just the way I
am. I want to
also say a very big thank you to my husband for giving me room to fly.
Some men out there would probably have clipped my wings but Odi is not
some kind of man. I want to say thank you for being so supportive and
understanding.
I want to
take this time to say thank you to everyone who made the journey of 2014
easier despite the attendant challenges. I am grateful to the marketers
and my colleagues who stayed in touch with me even when I was pregnant,
directors who were patient with me, fans who watched all the movies of
2014, those who took time out to search for me on Google, who corrected
me in love and those who watched ‘30 Days in Atlanta’ (to make it
biggest Nollywood movie in cinema history). I am also grateful to
everyone who showed me one form of love or the other during the birth of
our second son, Prince Henry: Nigerian Embasasy in the US, social media
followers and my ever diligent media and management company, Bigsam
Media.
I plan and
hope that 2015 will be different from previous years. The jobs I will
do will be slightly different from that of the past. I will take up more
challenges. I will also have to balance things out because I still have
to play the role of a wife and mother, but all in all, there should be a
new Mercy Johnson of sort.
As per the
style, I have received all your complaints and I will try and improve
but please, do not forget I am just a down-to-earth-girl-next-door.
Thank you.
