Rubbin’ minds host and Ebony Life TV presenter, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu started the discussion by tweeting “Mercy Johnson makes a lot of ‘leading ladies’ in Nollywood look like amateurs. Yes, I’m talking about all your favorite divas and A listers“, the tweet garnered lots of re-tweets and mentions in less than 60 seconds – even Mercy Johnson endorsed the submission by re-tweeting the tweet.
Reacting to the tweet, Chris Ihidero (a sarcastic writer and NET’s editor) and Noble Igwe of 360 nobs had this to say:
Chris Ihidero: She can be very good. She could be amazing in the hands of a very good director.
Noble Igwe: Funny how I told Tula this yesterday . If she was light skinned, some people won’t be getting roles sef
Ebuka: I’ve seen her do everything VERY WELL. Diva, runs girl, villager, corporate chick, mother, grandmother, villain, hero. All!
Chris: I have seen her being pretty immense in a few films. Actually one I look forward to working with someday.
She doesn’t “measure up” based on yrs in d industry. But Mercy has delivered more daring roles than they did at her stage.
