Nollywood star, Mercy Johnson, has said that one of the best feelings she has had is the feeling that some people who have never met her in person have her back.
The actress stated this in a New Year message made available to P.M.NEWS Entertainment Café.
According to her, she has experienced love from unimaginable people from various countries around the world including Ghana, Liberia, Paris, United Kingdom, United States of America, Seychelles, etc.
“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,” she said.
The actress added that the level she has attained 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,” she added.
The actress continued: “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’ and made it the 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 Embassy in the US, social media followers and my ever diligent media and management company, Bigsam Media.”
Mercy did not forget to also appreciate her husband for allowing her excel in her chosen career.
“Some men out there would probably have clipped my wings but Odi (husband) is not some kind of man. I want to say thank you for being so supportive and understanding,” she said.
Looking forward, Mercy said she has plans and hope that 2015 will be different from previous years.
“The jobs I will do will be slightly different from those 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,” she assured.
As for her style, she noted that she has received all her fans’ complaints and will try to improve.
