Top actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie is unknown to many
as a very generous woman, and she enjoys doing things quietly. Few years back,
she took it upon herself to register GCE, Jamb for many less privileged
children. This mother of one even went as far as buying exercise books for
numerous Secondary School students. According to her then, she always remembers
that there are students whose parents cannot afford good education, so she views
her gesture as a little means of contributing to their meaningful lives. Sources
revealed to Julia Blaise Blog (JBB) that the talented movie personality is still
engaging in this activity every year.
Recently, it appears that the actress is moving a step
further to donate to the charity. So far, she records as the only Nollywood
personality who has contributed towards the kidney transplant of ailing music producer OJB Jezreel, as
usual Mrs Okojie never allowed anybody to know how much she gave. Few days
back, she was equally spotted in a charity home in Lagos.
When asked by a Sunday Sun reporter who ran into
her, what her idea of donating to charity could be, Mrs Okojie declared that
she is trying to build her foundation tagged, Mercy Johnson Foundation: “We are
just promoting the ideals of Mercy Johnson Foundation. The idea is to identify the needs, evaluate
and help in our own little way. All fingers are not equal; those in position to
help should do so without hesitation. You will be hearing a lot about Mercy
Johnson Foundation from now on. We have put our house in order and now ready to
help those we can. I strongly believe that as stars we should live beyond the
euphoria of stardom and the moment. We
will not always be here, what happens if you look back and realise you could do
a lot to make the world better when you had the spotlight and you didn’t? I
want to live beyond the moment,” she said.
