Mercy Johnson |
It
appears that for the past months, most of the Nollywood movies shown on local
Ghanaian television stations have actress Mercy Johnson playing a major role in
them and she seems to be getting a lot of attention in the country.
A
lot of her movies are being shown on a number of TV channels in Ghana but it is
premature to say she has become Africa’s hottest because it is not clear what
is happening in other countries.
What is happening in Ghana may not necessarily
be an indication that Mercy has done more movies in Nollywood but it could be
that she has endeared herself to Ghanaian movie fans.
Among
some of her movies that are gaining prominence on Ghanaian TV screens include ‘Room Service’, ‘White Hunters’, ‘Royal Fight’
and ‘Return of White Hunters’.

Previously,
it was a tight race between Mercy John and Tonto Dikeh after Ini Edo dropped. But
Mercy is arguably leading now. Omotola Ekeinde Jalade and Patience Ozokwor
movies are also doing well.
Mercy
is touted as one of Nollywood’s most successful actresses.
She
made her debut in 2004 in the movie, ‘The
Maid.’ She has since featured in a lot of movies.
She
is known for playing any kind of role from village girl to prostitute and that
has been her driving force.
She
was last in the news in Ghana over a first-time role with top actress Yvonne
Okoro. But that didn’t happen because the production house involved couldn’t
meet Yvonne Okoro’s demands.
