Mercy Johnson to quit acting after her wedding?

That's what Vanguard is reporting.
Asked whether she will quit acting after her wedding, the sultry actress answered in the affirmative, declaring that “I’m going to quit acting.” She disclosed however that she is planning to go into television and also, to turn a movie producer.
The actress is getting married in a four-day event this August. The court wedding on the 25th, the traditional on the 26th, the white wedding on the 27th, and the thanksgiving on the 28th.

If this report is to be believed, it means another talented actress is forsaking her blossoming career after getting married. Hopefully she's quitting because it's what she wants and not because she's being forced to. Will you be sad to see her leave Nollywood?

Oh please! Maybe her hubby is rich and she no longer needs nollywod chicken change. But why quit because of a man? How many men quit their work for their wives? Mtchew! Maybe its because of their bad rep and they dont want to be forced to cheat on their husbands for movie roles. Lol jk. But Dakore and now Mercy? There must be more too nollywod than meets the eye. And has anyone noticed some of the bad actresses that keep appearing in these movies time after time are very trashy? How else do you think they get thar jobs? Mtchew. Anyway, nollywood is very time consuming so I understand. At least now we can hope to see fresh, new faces.

now that she wan quit acting, that's when u know that she's talented? You wey no dey watch nollywoood film how u know say she dey talented. if she stay marry and still dey act, na you same linda go ask if he good make you be marry and still dey do the love scene...etc which side u dey sef?

another case in point...funke fowler and kuku dey get married. you don carry this jist once, what is the need to carry it again less than 1wk after the 1st?. and na the same story not that ther's another angle to it. me think u wan more bashing to the girls way... no be say the girl na better person anyway!

Hello Kitty said...

"Talented"?? did u just refer to Mercy Johnson as talented??? You really need to take the blinders off your eyes when you watch her films.

Linda Ikeji said...

@hello kitty, mercy is not talented? i've seen one or two of her movies and i thought she did alright. besides, i assumed if you're that big, then u gotta have some talent

tayo said...

I wish her well and with that talent she has she can be anything she wanna be!!! She wants to please her future husband... because of the tongue-waging peeps that love gossip... LOL!!!
I have just finished watching one of her best movies, Heart of a Fighter... damn... that s why i love her!!!

I Think Mercy is indeed a talented actress and it will be a loss for Nollywood if she quits. But sacrifices have to be done in a relationship, I hope and suppose that her husband will do some too.

Ms. J said...

Thank God.... ooooooooooooooo i WILL NOT miss her lol..

Unknown said...

I think it is the best decision for her.

Allegra said...

In my opinion, I believe she is one of a handful of good actresses in Nollywood. Would be a pity to see her go as there are currently too many talentless men and women who would be better off in other careers perhaps, not acting.

Jelly said...

I am unbelievably jubilant that mercy johnson wants to quit...if i see her in another movie i will literally scream!!! ...she dresses vulgar, over the top, absolutely no dress sense, and has no screen presence..i constantly wonder how she had such a meteoric rise...is it bottom power..or her highly overrated front and backside...that every average nija girl has, but doesnt flaunt it shamelessly like mercy Johnson...

It is almost as if we Nigerians have become a garbage chute that will consume anything we see..with absolutely no discernment...any Tom Dick Harry, or Jones is an actor or a singer...and is consequently celebrated...ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Good Job she's quitting!! i guess she just wont be able to act right without flaunting her breasts, passionately kissing and wearing cloth two sizes too small. Thats essentially her, i mean out of every 10 films this girl's in 8 of them she's half naked. She's got talent and i enjoy watching her but enough is enough abeg!!

Also Caroline Ekanem quit after marriage. Someone needs to do an expose on what really goes down on these movie sets. I'm suspecting too.

If she decides to quit acting, i believe in my own opinion that she is doing that because of the kind of society we come from, where actresses are considered as pro. But I believe if she were to be in the Educational Sector, she would not think of quitting.
