Birthday message from Mercy Johnson Okojie

A message from Mercy Johnson's heart as she turns a year older today. Read below...
Today, I thought of many things I would love to have as birthday gifts and the many dreams I am still pursuing. In all of this I’m not losing sight of the fact that if not for God I might have ended up on the street like the many kids and young adults begging for food and some prostituting to make ends meet. If we know the circumstances that force some of these people on the street, we would spare a thought for them. I am where I am today purely by the grace of God and the grace of people who believed in me from the word go.
Recently, I was at the Boys Reform Home, Oregun, Lagos, the discussion I had with the principal Mr. Kotun and much later with the Special Adviser in charge of allremand homes in Lagos set me thinking about the boys and girls on the street. They have dreams too. Can they fulfill those dreams on the street? The answer will likely be no; because I won't be where I am today if I ended up on the street.

For this reason, Mercy Johnson Foundation will be doing a lot to get kids off the street. We are not asking people for money or donation, I will do all I can with the resources God has given me, and with the support of my husband to help get these kids off the street and set them on the path where they can begin to pursue their dreams. I want to plead with people, fans, friends and colleagues to spare a thought for the children on the street. We can begin by educating people around us, parents, the children and people in charge of children (Oga-house help relationship, teacher-student relationship, and others) on the need to treat every child like the future of Nigeria depends on it. And truth be told, our future will not be all that enjoyable if we let the scourge of ‘street-children’ fester. By then, the rich will begin to cry.  I learnt Lagos State Government has 11 homes where most children picked from the streets are kept, reformed and reunited with their families after counseling.

That is an initiative Mercy Johnson Foundation will be supporting and beyond that we will be going to different states to help spread the message-Get kids off the street, save the future. From tomorrow, I will begin to replay some of the lessons I learnt at the boys’ reform home and we all can contribute to getting the kids off the street.

I am grateful to everyone that has sent in a birthday message, tweet and gifts. Thank you and God bless you.
Mercy Johnson Okojie

*A Toast To A Tested Thespian*
From whatever perspective anyone choose to look at Princess Mercy Johnson Odi Okojie aka MJ, you are a picture of consistency. From the perspective of an engine room for the Nigeria movie industry. A unique actress; a woman of integrity; a committed family woman/mother; a woman who has a large heart for the less endowed; a woman who has left her footprint on the sands of Nollywood. But, as you mark another remarkable year today, there are clear indications that your footprints will get bolder, and therefore more visible, as the years go by. We give God all the glory.”
It might never knew, as you were growing up, that providence would make you an active participant in the events that would shape the collective success of Nigeria Home Movie. A woman who only speaks when it is absolutely necessary. But what may not be difficult to conjecture is the fact that Mercy Johnson has distinctively strive to make a difference in the entire africa-entertainment industry.

This Day, I Wishing You A Resounding Happy Birthday And Many More Years Of God's Grace.

Congratulations MJ, ...you are worth celebrating!

BECAREFUL AND KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
Men and women cheat on their partners because
Once the men have a job, they think nothing but wife and they call it settling down and women wants to marry just to answer mrs or before they run out of marriage age.
Along the line they realise they married the wrong one.
Please make sure you are capable of getting married, mentally and spirituall.
Some marry because of wealth, fame and material benefits.
THAT IS WHY CHEATING IS RAMPANT AND DIVORCE IS WATER YOU CAN DRINK AT ANY TIME. Linda post this let pple comment pls
