A woman who claims to be the mother of Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson Okojie, is currently trending on the internet.
In the video, the woman who bears a striking resemblance to the actress narrated how she was separated from her children.
According to her, she got married to a Nigerian from Kogi state and had three children with him.
During her fourth pregnancy, her mother came from Cameroon to inform her that her father was critically sick and wanted to see his grandchildren.
Saddened by the news, her husband told her to go with the last child. She left Mercy Johnson and her elder brother Martin Ngei with their father and a certain woman.
When she came back for her family, she couldn’t find them. She has been moving to and fro Nigeria for over 30 years to find her kids but to no avail.
After years of searching, she finally found Mercy Johnson but the mother of four requested for a DNA test to confirm her story.
Upon reaching the hospital, she met Mercy’s husband, Prince Okojie who refused to acknowledge her. The politician told her that she was not the person to whom he paid Mercy’s bride price to.
Shocked by his statement, the woman assured him that she was not there to take his wife away from him. Prince Okojie agreed to pay for the DNA test but told her to take care of her own bills.
The woman found this embarrassing as she had spent all her money on transportation costs to Nigeria.
She insisted that she was not after Mercy’s money because she has been surviving on her own all these years.
According to her, Mercy’s birth name is Ngei Magdalene and that she was born in 1982. She is willing to take the DNA test.
Mercy had invited her to Nigeria, but she has been struggling to survive as she has no home here.
“I gave birth to her at a private hospital in Benue state. She is aware that I am her biological mother and she knows that Mercy Johnson is not her real name. In fact when I came to Nigeria she asked me what’s my real name and I told her”, she said in part.
