Nollywood is a hub of great talents, one of which is the beautiful wife and mother of one, Mercy Johnson. Unlike many actors who get to play several minor roles before they get their first big break, Mercy�s first attempt at acting as a maid in the movie �The Maid� shot her into the limelight. Since then she has featured in over 50 movies and has won several awards including the Best Actress at the 2013 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Award for her role in the movie �Dumebi The Dirty Girl�. At the moment, Mercy is undoubtedly having the time of her life. She got married in August 2011 and in December 2012, gave birth to her daughter in the United States of America. Even though its been almost two years since her wedding, Mercy still giggled and spoke about her husband with such fondness as a newlywed. She recently moved into her new home at Ajah, Lagos and dedicated her baby, an event which attracted major buzz. It was fun chatting with the actress who has taken a break off acting and is enjoying herself just being a wife and mother for now. It�s great to see you Mercy. Let me start by saying that you have a beautiful home. Thank you. It was a surprise from my husband, Odi. He didn�t tell me about it while we were in America and when I returned back to Nigeria, I thought we were going to our former house but he drove me straight here. And then he also gave me a new car with the plate number �Odi�s Wife�. The Mom Aww, that�s so sweet. There�s been a lot of media attention surrounding the birth of your daughter and her recent dedication. How does this make you feel? At a point, I actually felt the whole thing was over dramatized. I really appreciate the fact that some people wish me well and are happy for me which is why I share her picture on Twitter once in a while. On my Twitter page, more than 3000 people ask me about Purity every day. Sometimes I get overwhelmed but I�m grateful for the love and goodwill messages and I can only say thank you. Purity is quite a unique name. What inspired her name? When I asked my husband, he said �You. She reminds me so much of you.� He said I have a good heart and he�d really want her to have a good heart and clear conscience like me. And he�d wish for everything about her to be pure. As a first time Mom, how has the experience been so far? It�s magical, it�s awesome! I just can�t stop staring at her. When I was pregnant, my sister-in-law came to the house and when her son pooped I said �Oh my God, don�t let it touch my chair!� Then I was about six months gone and she just looked at me and said �In three months time, you will understand�. And really, it is true. Now when Purity poops, I begin to dance. Everything is special. I want to clean her up myself, dress her up myself. I just can�t explain, she makes me complete. Has pregnancy and motherhood affected or changed you in any way? Well, you can see, I�ve added so much weight. But aside from my physical appearance, having Purity has changed me so much as a person. Having her makes me want to set the right example, to have good records so she doesn�t get embarrassed when she�s grown. It changes my perspective to life and the way I react to things. I tolerate things more, I overlook things more. I love children generally but now I understand how precious every child is to their mother so I try to treat other children the way I�d want her to be treated if I�m not around.
