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 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.”
