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.
Bigsam Media
For: Mercy Johnson
