Mercy Johnson, award-winning actress came to limelight in 2004

PRESS RELEASE

Mercy Johnson has been a Nollywood favourite since we first saw her in the 2004 hit movie, The Maid. The movie saw her play Jane, a church girl sent to live with the Williams family as house help, who then becomes possessed by an evil spirit and begins an adulterous affair with Mr. Williams. 

The Maid earned Johnson a throng of adoring fans and also saw her become the favourite of movie producers who had, at the time, initiated a ban against the top actors for what they termed high-handedness. Mercy would go on to feature in a string of hit movies like Hustlers, Baby Oku in America, and War in the Palace, among other movies.

In 2011, she married businessman-politician Prince Odi Okojie and took a step back from movies to tend to her growing family. By 2013, she’d made a triumphant return, winning the Best Actress award at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards for her role in the comedy movie Dumebi the Dirty Girl.

In 2018, she starred in the African Magic television series, Jemeji, currently streaming on Showmax, and in 2019, she stepped behind the camera to produce her first film, The Legend of Inikpi, which made almost 30 million Naira at the Nigerian box office.

Whether she’s playing a maid, a bus conductor, or an activist, Mercy has given us roles to remember. With the weekend upon us, here are eight Mercy Johnson movies you can binge on Showmax.
