Mercy Johnson's fiance secures divorce from estranged wife

Mercy Johnson's PR agency, Big Sam just confirmed to me that Prince Odianosen Okojie has formally divorced his estranged wife, Lovely Okojie.

According to BigSam, the divorce was finalized on Tuesday 23 August, 2011, at the Igueben Area Customary Court, in Benin, Edo State.

Mercy and Odi's court wedding which was scheduled for today didn't hold. They are skipping that part and concentrating on the traditional and white wedding which will hold tomorrow and next respectively. The venues? It's guarded, sorry...:-). Only close friends and family are privy to that information. All the best to Mercy and Odi.

Will bring you Lovely's side of all this later...

What kind of kangaroo divorce is that? They married in Italy, they will get legitimate divorce in Italy or even Canada. How can a judge in Naija issue divorce? smdh. This guys lies are endless. Anyway mercy, if you go ahead and marry this guy, your marriage will never be legitimate. Didnt the Canadian courts postpone hearing till September? When it is time for him to leave Mercy, the excuse will be, we were never really married in the first place. Never witnessed this kind of crass stupidity. This man thinks because we are in naija, we are all illiterate or bush. shior.

Yeye dey smell.
shebi the fraudster Odi and Mercy's Mum said they were never married how come he ended up securing divorce? Nonsense!

Very soon it will be the turn of Mercy to see what Lovely has seen.

Fifi said...

Not that my opinion counts anymore,but Mj should not have gone on with this marriage atleast for now,how can a man be divorced on the 23rd and remarry on the 26th?this is soo friggin creepy.But since they have decided to go ahead,i wish them luck afterall i wont be living with them...

i could strangle that so called big Sam PR firm. for starters am wondering why Mercy and her team are comfortably forgetting the fact that Lovely had a court wedding with Odianosen Okojie and that what the pig headed man succeeded in annulling was the customary marriage and am sure he still is a man within the contracts of marriage until he seeks legal redress and divorces his lawfully wedded wife,Lovely in competent court of law. no one is preventing the illicit pair not to get married whenever they choose but am trying to correct an impression that might be deducted from the heading of this post. Odianosen Okojie is still legally married to Lovely until the dissolution of the civil marriage he contracted. some news sites are still saying the white wedding is skeptical but the PR firm insists otherwise and judging by situations on ground should the wedding proceed then it has already been rendered illegal invalid and void as this is an unarguable case of bigamy. After such a union he and Mercy Johnson should have a stockpile of money for litigation. The man only succeeded in charting his course to be a polygamist by getting a pass from the customary court. Mercy Johnson is a cheap desperado. Let her hurry and do the Saturday wedding and achieve her desires. she has not pushed Lovely away cuz she is the only legitimate wife the law and society recognizes. mercy is the joker.

I am sure if we look st the so called divorce papers, they would have been created in Oluwole. This is because no real judge will even put his hand on such a case. It is not in this judge's jurisdiction. Mercy, na wa oh. I hope you are really not this dumb. But then again, you will be marry another owman's husband. He will just throw your load out when he is tired of you. So sad, the level of desperation and the intense deceit in this marriage. This guy is someone i will not wish on my owrst enemy. The fact that he can lie like this? Marcy is yet to really uncover who this man is. He must have some deep mental issues for real. This is more than the human eye. Mercy, stop pushing this guy and let it go. He is a lair and a fraud. All round bad news

mercy johnson, shame on you and all those who have supported you in this shameful act of yours. your so desperate to get married that you couldn't give yourself some months to think things over. you will not get away with destroying another woman's marriage. as you make your bed so shall you lie on it.

Anonymous said...

@ Fifi..creepy is putting it lightly my dear. Never in all my years have I seen anything like this. Mercy is one stubborn, hard-headed woman. The bad thing is when reality sets in, she will live it out no matter how bad it is because she will have to keep up face. Poor thing doesn't realize she is digging a deep hole for herself.

na wa! this mercy johnson is one deaf girl. smh. have men finished? what is all this desperation about?! babe needs to learn some independence. this is just disgusting. i cant even talk of the guy. its obvious what he is. why madam mercy chooses to remain oblivious to the truth is what is beyond me.

Abeg Linda even if na to get chopper make u fly round lagos dey find the venue on Saturday, please do it for us o. At least you kukuma get the money.

Odi and Lovely were already separated before Odi hooked up with Mercy. Therefore, Mercy did not snatch up anyone's husband or ruin a marriage that was already ruined. A lot of jurisdictions require that couples remain separated before granting them a divorce. Therefore, Odi and Lovely had already determined that they wanted to divorce, hence the separation.


During the period of separation most people enter new relationships. Are you people so naive as to think that during the period of separation before divorce that the parties stay celibate?

ALL OF U WASTING TIME TO COMMENT AND EXPLAIN, DONT U GUYS GET IT????THERE IS ONLY ONE EXPLANATION FOR THIS...I NEVER BELIEVED IN JAZZ UP UNTIL NOW. MERCY HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN JAZZED/OR GIVEN MEDICINE OR WHATEVER. CUZ CLEARLY IF SHE WAS SANE, SHE WOULD HOLD OFF THE WEDDING FOR A BIT. THIS DUDE FROM BENIN OR WHEREVER HAS GIVEN HER SOMETHING. OH HE WASNT MARRIED BFORE BUT NOW HE IS DIVORCED???IT IS OBVIOUSLY JAZZ, CANT U GUYS SEE THIS THOUGH???. N YES THEY DO LOOK ALIKE. REALLY STRANGE. I FEEL SORRY FOR MERCY BECAUSE EVEN IF SHE READS ALL OUR COMMENTS, SHE HAS NO CONTROL OVER HERSELF ANYMORE BECAUSE A GREATER POWER CONTROLS HER. AND I JUST HOPE AND PRAY THAT IT ISNT CHRIST EMBASSY THAT IS MARRYING HER, THAT WILL BE A HUGE HUGE HUGE DISAPOINTMENT. REALLY SAD. MAY WE NEVER BE VICTIMS OF JAZZ/LOVE PORTION IJN.

this is really sad please linda get us the pictures of the wedding,what kind of a person divorsed two days prior to their wedding day this guy is a con artist,he has no respect for women.also mercy mother said lovely should go and die does she realize she has two small children that depend on her just because your daughter want get married,in no circumstances should u wish death on anybody just because mercy want to marry lovely legal husband,i have never heard lovely mention once that any bad thing should happen to mercy and i dont see lovely begging that MF to stay with her by force.ADAEZE be strong keep ur head up u r a beatiful lady take care of ur children men will come and go, money will come and go ur chidren will never leave they r preciuos gift from GOD they will always love and be there for u put everything in God's hand HE has the final say.

This is better than Nollywood!! Mercy J is hilarious! Lovely is still legally his wife till an official divorce, not an Edo court own dissolving customary marriage, which isnt the same as legal marriage. Did this guy or his advisers go to school???
1st they claim he wasnt married.
The they claimed with was birth cert he was signing.
Then it was that his family doesnt know Lovely.
One thing is for sure, Mercy J just got herself tainted with garbage and it stinks!! smelly smelly

@Anon 6:11am, you do realize that this site is a blog of celebrity gist and that as you read, Linda is getting paid by those advertisements you see on here.
ITK too dey do people! I Too Know!
What on earth does Linda being married have to do with earning income, since this does qualify as part of the means in which she earns income. I personally know how much some ads posted here are, and I see several a week, meaning Linda is breaking bank from all this! Do you go ask the editors at TMZ or Instyle that they should stop, or go find a man?

Please resist from coming on here, cause you obviously are intrigued by this blog or have some time on your hands. You should probably go intern at Linda's office. #justsaying.

IF EVENTUALLY HE DIVORCED HIS WIFE BECAUSE OF MERCY,I TELL YOU THE RULE OF LIFE CANNOT CHANGE,KAMMA IS WAITING!!!
Like they say in my dialect,"If a woman decides to marry a divorced man,the cane that was used on the first one will be waiting for her".

this is all so sad. i feel sorry for MJ cos she was obviously decieved by prince initially. as to why she cannot call it off now, -there are things we can never understand, stories that cannot be told and reasons that cant be shared. let us just pray for her and Lovely the two victims of prince Odi.
May God give lovely strenght,comfort and wisdom. may he raise people to help with her kids.and may he judge this matter...

Desperation goes up another notch! "I was not legally married to Lovely. She is not my legal wife. What I was signing was my children's legalization (with a kiss), oh, btw, I have secured a divorce from my enstranged wife."

Say what? and someone is still blind? well, when Mercy has her greedy mother solidly behind her, who does not want to see the cash cow slip through her fingers? what do you expect. Did not really understand what was behind it all, all this while, now I do. If the statements accredited to her mom her true, then we are all wasting our time, no be juju Odin use on MJ, na as her mama take train am. If na better mama, like my mama of blessed memory, fear no go even let us talk this tory pass the first lie lie. Mama Mercy, whatever you wish for Lovely, be it good or bad, The Almighty God will boomerang it back unto your own child Mercy, because in all this, she is the injured party, and I have not heard her curse any one of you, so if you want her to go and die, that wish, you have used your own mouth to bless it back unto your own child Mercy.

Linda, I really liked you until when the issue of Lovely Okojie came up. You are absolutely biased in this matter. You have been variously accused by many individuals that you have received some money from Lovely Okojie so that you can continue to propagate public hatred against Prince Odianosen and his lovely wife, Princess Mercy Johnson Odianosen Okojie. I am so disappointed in you.

Anon Aug 26th 9:47pm, u r very stupid for that comment of urs! Wat do u mean by Italian Stay permit trap? Why didn't he get his residence permit thru Mercy J? Do u think its easy filing for a man abroad? Do u av any idea wat she must av been thru wit that useless prince.
