Mercy Johnson had earlier confirmed that she would be getting married on 25th August 2011 to Prince Odianose Okojie, from Esanland (Uromi), Edo State.
How did he propose?
(Laughs) He was straight and normal.
Did he kneel down?
No, he didn’t kneel down because he’s a prince. In November last year, when we went to visit our parents officially, he had the ring before he came back from the UK, but certain things happened which I’ll never tell you and he gave me the ring.
Why are you marrying Odi?
I ask him every morning, and I keep telling him that if I don’t marry him someone else will not marry him. He’s not that multi-billionaire, I just love that man, he’s a handsome man, a good man, I just love him, plus his flaws, even when he pisses me off I want to kiss his knee
Can you recall how you guys met?
It was at the salon Make Me in Surulere, Lagos.
What really attracted you to him?
He’s a likeable person, he’s just IT. I don’t know how to explain it.
What’s the best gift Odi has ever given you?
Odi gives me everything, and the best thing he ever gives me is attention, Odi can just be in the parlour and I scream my leg! He comes rushing to the rescue
Do you have Mama G (Patience Ozokwo) in the list?
Definitely, Mama G is the mother of the day; ask her she’ll tell you, so she is going to be there.
Can you recall your first encounter with your in-laws?
It was pretty; I’m a very playful person. It was pleasant; they are very friendly and nice. I’m extremely close to my mother-in-law.
Does she watch your movies?
No and I’m so glad she doesn’t.
Will marriage make you reject some roles?
There is no character I’ve not played, unless they want to refine roles. So any role that is going to embarrass my family I’m definitely going to drop it.
