Mercy Johnson Open up on Weight Loss and Life After Cancer Scare and Surgery
Nollywood star Mercy Johnson-Okojie has opened up about her recent health struggles and the reason behind her noticeable weight loss. Her slimmer appearance had caused worry among fans online, leading to plenty of speculation. But in a heartfelt chat with fellow actress Joke Silva, Mercy revealed she had a cancer scare that led to thyroid surgery.
She shared that the experience was life-changing, especially since her youngest child was just six months old at the time. “It was a tough journey for us,” she said, referring to herself and her husband. “We had to accept that this was our new reality and go ahead with the surgery.”
Mercy explained that the surgery meant she would now be on medication for life. Doctors emphasized that missing a dose wasn’t an option, as the side effects could be serious. “So when people talk about my weight loss, I understand,” she added. “But this is my life now. I’m learning to live in this new space and grow from it.”
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
