Mercy Johnson-Okojie has carved a niche for herself with her acting prowess. Her impeccable interpretation of movie roles has placed her in a league of her own. At a point in time, she monopolised the industry; she featured in practically every production churned out.
It was rumoured some years back that she and Van Vicker were the highest paid in the industry but news we have now confirms that indeed Mercy Johnson is the highest paid actress. She charges a staggering N2million which is equivalent to ¢28,960 per movie.
And with the qualities she possesses, featuring her in a movie becomes a good bargain becomes the movie turns out a best-seller. The Film and Video Producers and Marketers of Nigeria (FVPMAN) some few months ago threatened to ban the actress for her exorbitant fees. It was revealed her colleagues are paid between N700, 000 and N1.2million. Mercy responded to threat by saying if the producers can’t pay that kind of amount they should go for less payable actresses.
What’s wrong when you keep quite till u no wats up? No petition, no complain just fees those who can’t afford Heineken should stick with Kai Kai” she retorted.
Mercy made her acting debut in 2014 in the movie The Maid, a movie that launched her to stardom. She has gone to feature in over 100 movies.
