Mercy went further to say that her love for Genevieve has never been hypocritical."I think I have one of the best role models ever. I like Genevieve like crazy. I started watching her movies from the onset but I didn't want to be Genevieve, I wanted to be Mercy with the motivation that a Genevieve could give me. So I watched lots of movies. I don't play with her movies. I don't know what I can do that will be better than what she has done. But I just try to improve on it, try to do it the way she will do it and perhaps even better to my own level. I practice like all the time. It is like a passion. It is just where I want to be. I am alive and I am in my space. It was paramount to perfect that space. I need everything. I watch everything. Nothing passes me by. I watch newscasters reading there news and after they are done, I sit down the way they do and read the news like that. So it is practice and Passion." she said. Continue...
"It was never a hypocritical kind of love or likeness. It was plain. I didn't even ever think I will become close to her. It is like I can meet her anytime I want to".
On how she felt when she first met Genevieve Nnaji;
"Ahh! The first time I met her, my friend took me there. When we got to where she was, I became nervous. I told my friend "no, let me hide in your boot". And I did. I got into her boot. Can you imagine I came to see her and when I got there, I wanted to run back. I jumped into my friend's boot. So when she came out of the hotel, I could not see her, I could only hear her voice. The 2nd time I saw her was on set. When she came down and I met her, she said" "Ahh! Mercy, I like your movies" and I started crying. I was in tears of joy. I said "Aunty Genny, so you watch my movies?". She was sort of embarrassed. Before I met her, she had already known that there was somebody who was crazily insane about her. She was really nice to me, receptive. And even whenever we work together, she will correct me and say, that thing you did, you could have done it this way. Usually in life, you will know somebody, who is more than you. Give him or her that respect. You can't fight a battle you can't win. It does not make any sense. If somebody is much more bigger than you, there is nothing as big as you admitting it and hearing it from that person. I didn't come into the picture to compete with anybody. I came to learn, do it well, make it and be there" she said

True luv, but advice her to get married, (Linda sugar boy)
that is brutal honesty and the reason why in my opinion why Mercy Johnson is one of our best actresses on the local scene and she really needs to step up into mainstream and rub shoulders with the Nnajis, Omotalas and Dominics of the industry.

Hmmm Mercy Mercy very blunt I guess Geny is humble can't say cuz I dunno her in person buh when it comes to originality I like mercy more. Love genevieve as an actress tho she's very gud.
Niice one... Bill_smith121@yahoo.com...
Nice one.....we should show respect to those who inspires us.
I love mercy johnsons humility and readiness to learn and it is one thing that has taken great acts to high places and kept them there, acts like 2 face idibia. Mercy Johnson has already carbed a niche for herself in the Nollywood film industry just like her idol Geni baby and I think together they have the potential to take the film industry in Nigeria higher. PS, My homies love u like crazy Mercy Johnson, that ur figure and arse is like whoa!

Awww wat a humble confession and dts y she's doing well in her career
"Humility" one of the qualities I admire in mercy Johnson. She's humble. xx
Well frankly speaking i dont think anyone is obsessed about Genevieve the way i am, I remember when i was younger i watched one of her movies with my folks and she was kinda reacting to pimples in that movie and my daddy was like 'dis lady is pretty but this her pimples wants to spoil her face' and i replied my dad saying that the pimples is the main reason y i like her more and ever since den have never had a smooth face always having breakout on my face. Its funny tho cos my parents still use that statement to make fond of me, But my love for her is unendng tho. I love Genny to the moon and back.
I jhs like dis babe

Life is all about appreciation.what you do not appreciate, you will never attract.. Only misers end up in misery.
Fresheste@gmail.com
Ok. But you can actually be better, it's easy to mistake Mercy's sincerity for inferiority complex. Genevieve is good no doubt, you are also very good too and very passionate about your job, you've carved a niche for yourself, and you've achieved a lot and still achieving. Give her, her due respect while you get over your celebrity crush and see your self just as good even better (without any airs). I wish you the best. #Nobeef. I love Genny too.
Gud to hear Lilian_Enwefa@yahoo.com
This is why I love you mercy Johnson. :) you didn't come into the industry to compete but to learn. 'I love that'
Awwwww! Mercy is so humble.if we all cld see life frm dis angle envy wld not be so common.alot of people see life as a competition.its not we all hv our race to run n we all hv different destinies .the sky us bug enuf 2 accomodate each starirrespective of its level of radiance
Your humility will take you to places you never imagined. hopehope700@yahoo.com
