Nollywood star Regina Daniels has fiercely defended Mercy Johnson after Angela Okorie claimed the actress is battling a serious illness and needs to seek forgiveness from people she has wronged.
Angela Okorie, in a recent Instagram Live session, stated she had decided to forgive Mercy Johnson after hearing that the actress is allegedly suffering from a critical illness. She described the illness as one she “wouldn’t wish on her enemies” and urged Mercy to apologise to those she may have offended in the past.
“I got some news recently that Mercy Johnson is not feeling well, and really honestly feel for her and I want the best for her, and I want her to win. The kind of sickness I was told she has is something I cannot wish on my enemy.”
Angela went on to say that, despite past grievances with Mercy, she had chosen to let go of the bitterness.
“And today I have forgiven her. You know these bloggers, they are very crazy. When they see me comment on somebody’s wall, they will just munch it and post, and before you know it will start trending.”
But her message quickly turned into something more confrontational:
“But the truth is that, tell Mercy to go and apologise to the people she has offended. Tell her I said so. Apologising to people you have wronged is better than using church words that you don’t represent. Mercy did a whole lot of things in the industry, and today I am forgiving her. For real, I have forgiven her. I am forgiving her for her I am forgiving her because of God. If we’re gonna go down memory lane, she went spiritual for me.”
Responding to her post, Regina Daniels, actress and Mercy Johnson’s god-daughter wrote without mincing words,
“With all due respect, Aunty Angela, you dey mad. Abeg no forgive because for this side, we no dey forgive. Continue and whilst at it, no forget say she get pikin wey gidigba. No dey shalaye.”
Her blunt reaction has since gone viral, with many fans and fellow celebrities weighing in on the drama, awaiting the outcome.
