MERCY JOHNSON TO FINALLY ADDRESS ANGELA OKORIE CONTROVERSY
Mercy Johnson Breaks Silence: Set to Address Angela Okorie Feud Publicly
Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has finally announced her intention to speak out amid a wave of online drama surrounding her long-standing feud with fellow actress Angela Okorie.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Mercy declared she would be airing her side of the story publicly. In a strongly worded statement, she wrote, “O ti to ge. It’s time to say my piece. Everything I need to say, I will say it tomorrow. 12PM. Instagram.”
This declaration comes after weeks of tension and heated exchanges that have sent shockwaves through the Nollywood community and sparked intense debates among fans on social media.
The renewed clash between the two actresses was reignited on June 3, 2025, when Angela Okorie went live on Instagram, sharing an emotionally charged message. She claimed she had chosen to forgive Mercy Johnson after discovering that the actress had allegedly been battling a serious illness. Angela’s tone, however, was far from reconciliatory. She used the moment to call out Mercy’s past actions and urged her to seek forgiveness from those she had wronged.
Angela also criticized Mercy for frequently using religious language on social media, suggesting that her actions were not in line with her spiritual expressions. The video quickly went viral, drawing both sympathy and criticism from fans of both stars.
The controversy soon widened to include another prominent Nollywood figure—Regina Daniels. In a passionate Instagram Live session of her own, Regina came to Mercy’s defense. She openly slammed Angela Okorie, labeling her as “mad” and insisted that neither she nor Mercy owed Angela any apologies. Regina’s blunt remarks fueled the online drama even further, with netizens taking sides and dissecting every word shared across platforms.
The feud has now become one of the most talked-about issues in Nollywood, highlighting the complicated dynamics of celebrity friendships, forgiveness, and public perception.
As the clock ticks closer to Mercy’s promised Instagram reveal at 12 PM, fans and industry watchers alike are eagerly anticipating what she will share. Will she offer her version of past events? Will there be a call for peace—or a deeper dive into the rift?
One thing is certain: all eyes will be on Mercy Johnson as she prepares to break her silence and set the record straight.
