'I Am Grateful' Mercy Johnson Okojie writes in her new year message to fans. Read below...
One of the best feelings one can have is the feeling that some
people who have never met you in person have your back. I have experienced love from unimaginable people; Ghana, Liberia,
Paris, UK, USA, Seychelles and all over the world.Some met me crying, gave me gifts, took pictures, asked questions,
and some, not so pleasant. But in all of these, I have no complaint because
being where I am is a gift and privilege by God. A privilege and a place I
never thought I would be, a few years ago.
This level has its own attendant
consequence, as I take in the blessing; I appreciate the not-so-pleasant side
as well. For this, I am grateful to God,
my fans, and stakeholders in the industry who love me just the way I am.I want to also say a very big thank you to my husband for giving me room
to fly. Some men out there would probably have clipped my wings but Odi is not
some kind of man. I want to say thank you for being so supportive and
understanding.I want to take this time to say thank you to everyone who made the
journey of 2014 easier despite the attendant challenges. I am grateful to the
marketers and my colleagues who stayed in touch with me even when I was
pregnant, directors who were patient with me, fans who watched all the movies
of 2014, those who took time out to search for me on Google, who corrected me
in love and those who watched ‘30 Days in Atlanta’ (to make it biggest
Nollywood movie in cinema history). I am also grateful to everyone who showed me
one form of love or the other during the birth of our second son, Prince Henry:
Nigerian Emabssy in the US, social media followers and my ever diligent media
and management company, Bigsam Media.I plan and hope that 2015 will be different from previous years. The
jobs I will do will be slightly different from that of the past. I will take up
more challenges. I will also have to balance things out because I still have to
play the role of a wife and mother, but all in all, there should be a new Mercy
Johnson of sort.As per the style, I have received all your complaints and I will try
and improve but please, do not forget I am just a down-to-earth-girl-next-door.
Thank you.And please, AMVCA is around the corner, let’s win again together
this year, on how to vote, check @bigsammedia on Twitter.As always I am grateful. I wish you the best this year has to offer.
Happy New Year.
