Mercy Johnson Faces Backlash for Endorsing APC Candidate
Nollywood star Mercy Johnson is once again in the spotlight, but this time for her involvement in politics.
The actress, known for her wide-reaching influence, has thrown her support behind the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is urging her fan base to follow suit.
She recently endorsed Senator Monday Okpebholo as her preferred candidate for the upcoming Edo gubernatorial elections, sparking a wave of reactions online.
While some of her followers are aligning with her views, a considerable number have voiced their displeasure, accusing her of using her celebrity status to push a political agenda.
Critics argue that public figures should be cautious when mixing entertainment with politics, while her supporters defend her right to express her political stance.
Johnson’s involvement has stirred debates about the role of influencers in shaping political decisions, with many wondering how much weight a celebrity endorsement can carry.
Despite the criticism, the actress remains steadfast in her endorsement of the APC and Senator Okpebholo, fueling further discussion as the election approaches.
Nigerian singer Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
