Top 10 Recommended Mercy Johnson's Movie Everyone Should Go See

Actress Mercy Johnson, or MJ as she is fondly called is arguably one of the biggest stars in Nollywood. Since her emergence on the scene in 2004 with the movie ‘The Maid’ Mercy has continued to churn out great movies not for one moment disappointing her fans.

The actress who took a break to raise her family at the peak of her career explained in an interview how she was able to joggle her career alongside motherhood.

In her words;

“I had planned my life right from when I was growing up. I arranged my life the way I wanted it to go. And that is why even when I was at the peak of my career and marriage came, I grabbed it because I know age keeps going and time waits for no one.

“It means that I can have all of my four kids and then still get back to shape and come back to what I love to do. So I am not going to say things like, ‘I don’t want to have kids yet’ or ‘I am not going to get married and I want to keep acting because the young shall always grow’, you are not going to be number one forever. That is why when it is time for you to do something, you do it. Yoruba will always say in their prayers that when the time for a child to talk has come, by the grace of God, she will talk. When it’s time to go to school, he will go to school. That’s what I’m trying to do. I want to define my life in a way my daughter will want to define her own life,” she said.

Mercy continued saying;

“I think what has got me this far is placing my decisions on a scale of preference. I love what I do, I adore my husband, I adore my kids, so every time I have to make a decision, I pick which is more important, and I start from there. I understand the home front is more important so I manage my home and create time to do what I have to do. I think that has helped me get this far,” she said.
