recent interview taks about her journey to
success and what she had to go through to
achieve the success she’s enjoying now.
The talented Mercy Johnson who has since
become one of the most sought after and
highest paid actresses in Nollwood said its hard
work and you never just stop working.
She said: “While my mates were buying Brazilian
hair and designer bags, I never knew what they
were. I just wanted to be at a movie location and
work, she said.
”Success is hard, it’s never easy. It takes more
than luck to make the right decisions, and the
right choices. A lot of people have actually been
acting before me, but they are just nowhere
close. It’s not because I am better, its grace.
But really success is hard. It takes a lot of
hardwork. At the point when my mates were
carrying designer bags, I didn’t know what
designer bags were. At the point at which they
were wearing Brazilian hair, I didn’t know what
Brazilian hair was.
I was kind of laid back. I was a step behind or 2
steps behind, because I was working so hard. I
didn’t take vacations; I didn’t have time for all of
that. I just wanted to be on location, so I could
sell what I had. I wanted people to see what I
could do. So every point in time, I was busy. I
was so excited to work at every time. So, it’s like
success is hard.
You really have to work hard; you really have to
sweat to achieve what you want. Its only when
you set to achieve it, that’s when it lasts,” she
said.
Meanwhile Mercy Johnson who is heavily
pregnant with her second child has taken a break
from acting and is currently in the United States.
The Kogi state born award-winning actress who
got into the Nigerian film industry because she
failed her University entrance examinations
made her acting debut in the movie ‘The Maid‘
which brought her into limelight.
Mercy Johnson has since featured in over 100
movies.
She is happily married to Prince Odianosen
Okojie and they are blessed with a daughter,
Purity.
