Mercy Johnson, an actress and mother of four, has said that veteran actress Patience Ozokwor once gave her the advice to cease dressed indecently.
On this week’s episode of Mercy’s Menu, the actress asked the actor, “Do you remember when you were younger before you got married when I warned you that the images you take today, your children would see them tomorrow and immediately know the kind of lifestyle you lived” as she reflected on the past.
And Mercy Johnson acknowledged the statement saying “Yes you did, you told me Mercy dress properly, you will have kids and when they grow up, they will ask you, why are you looking this way, yes I remember, I’m lucky but I still learned the hard way really”

Also during their conversation, Patience Ozokwor revealed why she didn’t marry after she lost her husband years ago
“I wanted to remarry but my kids had already come of age and they pleaded with me not to marry another man and they promised they will be my husband. They asked me to stay single for them so their friends will not laugh at them that at their age their mum remarried and I understood them, though it was selfish of them, i paid a huge sacrifice for them, no sacrifice is too huge for family.”
Patience Ozokwor further spilled why she stopped wearing jewelry and makeup.
“It was my son God used for me, he had a dream twice of me with my natural face and hair on and God told him, he preferred me looking that way than when i use make up and accessories, by the third time he had the dream, i just knew this is it, i had to stop “
Gossipinfo recalls that years back, precisely in 2010, Mercy Johnson and Patience Ozokwor had a clash over her way of dressing.
In a telephone interview, Mercy recounted her side of the story to NET. She noted that Patience Ozokwor was given revealing clothe to wear at that location, apparently to depict a character in the movie that was in the making and Patience allegedly refused the outfit, stating that she is not Mercy Johnson, not an ‘ashawo’.
“I’m not a prostitute. I don’t like the name. I told her I didn’t like it”, Mercy told NET. According to her, the faceoff was escalated when Mama Gee refused to stop calling her by an unpleasant name.
