‘If Not For God, I Would Have Ended Up As A Prostitute’ – Mercy Johnson

Nollywood star, Mercy Johnson was a year older yesterday and to celebrate this, she released a special message...

Read it here;

Today, I thought of many things I would love to have as birthday gifts and the many dreams I am still pursuing. In all of this I’m not losing sight of the fact that if not for God I might have ended up on the street like the many kids and young adults begging for food and some prostituting to make ends meet. If we know the circumstances that force some of these people on the street, we would spare a thought for them. I am where I am today purely by the grace of God and the grace of people who believed in me from the word go.
Recently, I was at the Boys Reform
Home, Oregun, Lagos, the discussion I had with the principal Mr. Kotun and much later with the Special Adviser in charge of al lremand homes in Lagos set me thinking about the boys and girls on the street.
They have dreams too. Can they fulfill those dreams on the street?
The answer will likely be no; because I won’t be where I am today if I ended up on the street.
For this reason, Mercy Johnson
Foundation will be doing a lot to get kids off the street. We are not asking people for money or donation, I will do all I can with the resources God has given me, and with the support of my husband to help get these kids off the street and set them hem on the path where they can begin to pursue their dreams.

I want to plead with people, fans, friends and colleagues to spare a thought for the children on the street.
We can begin by educating people around us, parents, the children and people in charge of children (Oga-house help relationship, teacher- student relationship, and others) on the need to treat every child like the future of Nigeria depends on it.

That is an initiative Mercy Johnson
Foundation will be supporting and beyond that we will be going to different states to help spread the message-Get kids off the street, save the future.
From tomorrow, I will begin to replay some of the lessons I learnt at the boys’ reform home and we all can contribute to getting the kids off the street.
I am grateful to everyone that has sent In a birthday message, tweet and gifts.
Thank you and God bless you.
Mercy Johnson Okojie.

On her thought on marriage she said, "marriage is honourable, marriage is beautiful when you have two people that share the same feelings being in it.

When a man and his wife love each other genuinely, they have true feelings for each other, they could make it work. But as for me, I don't have any problem with marriage; I just feel that when the time is not there, it's not there. When you are not ready for it, you are not ready for it.

What not to do while in a Relationship

A smoothly companion is something worth practicing, in an era were love is said to been blinded, a lot of relationships is wrecking because some lover don't know how to love, people are not aware of practices that shouldn't be carried out.
I just decided to make a little list about what not to do while you are dating, check it out.

Never lie: Don't lie no matter what the issue is say it out, the truth is usually said to be bitter, what a bout lies, remember a little lie can break the world you spent time trying to build. Always try telling your boyfriend/girlfriend the truth,truthfulness strengthens the bond and trust.

Don't cheat : unfaithfulness is the major course of broken relationship around the world, we live in a era which lust and attraction is the craze of the moment, were people tend to go after their passion, people are always thirty,everybody wants to be a king, ladies men, boys and girls have lost that respect called faithfulness ,cheating is now normal, for your relationship to survive the test of time you must be true and faithful.

Don't Boost: Don't be too proud, let
everything that happens be between you,. telling friends or bragging about your relationship might damage it for you.Pride comes before a fall

Abuse : Never lay your hand on your love one, even though at times lovers are so imperfect, don't think that by abusing them can't change them. Learning to love the way they are.

Boko Haram Killed 20 Vigilantes in Borno

About 20 youths of the vigilante
group populalry known as Civilian JTF were killed in separate attacks in Bama and Damasak towns of Borno State by insurgents suspected to be Boko Haram members.
A local official who attended a mass
funeral for the victims in Bama on
Monday said 14 vigilantes were killed there on Sunday, Reuters reported.
According to a Daily Trust correspondent, in the Damasak incident, 6 vigilantes were killed yesterday. The victims in the Damasak attack were identified as Ismail Alhaji Bunu (36), Malam Goni (27), Buzu Bukar (27), Mohammed Modu (20), Aliyu Jibrin (30) and Bukar Bako (20)..

Local vigilante groups run by youth
volunteers have been instrumental in helping the military capture Boko Haram members, but they have also made them a target for the insurgents, drawing civilians further into the conflict. Alhaji Baba Shehu Gulumba, chairman of Bama local council, told Reuters in Maiduguri that insurgents disguised as soldiers lured the youths into a trap.
"They were on guard duty when the sect members dressed in military camouflage came and told them that they were needed at a meeting nearby," he said.
"When they had been lured away from their duty posts they were then attacked and killed."
Our correspondent gathered that five of the victims in the Damasak raid were jewelry traders and a driver who was conveying them to the town's market.
A member of the vigilante, Kariyama Mohammed, who also went to Damasak but did not pass the night in the same house with the victims said, "We travelled together to Damasak to trade in necklace but I did not sleep in the same house with them. It was in the morning that I learn of their death."
Another resident said the assailants who were four in number shot their victims dead when they were asleep before they fled into the bush.

PDP Crisis: Clashes Between Jonathan And Obasanjo Escalate Over Andy Uba’s Rejection

The recent confrontation between the former and the current presidents,
Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck
Jonathan, seems to be escalating
after the leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) rejected the
Anambra State governorship primary that produced a former aide to Obasanjo, Senator Andy Uba, as the party's candidate for the November 16 governorship election in the state .
Not long ago, the former president had sought Jonathan's support for Senator Uba in the run-up to the PDP nomination date, after what Obasanjo joined the crisis between the, President and some governors elected on the platform of the PDP two weeks ago.
But, the PDP national Chairman Bamanga Tukur confirmed Mr. Tony Nwoye as the party's candidate. The party's leadership also condemned the parallel primary and rejected Uba's candidacy .

However, it has been revealed, that
Obasanjo is angry as he was said to have questioned what Nwoye possessed that was lacking in Uba.

"We are watching where the action of the PDP leadership would lead us. We begin to wonder why they would have a preference for a youth leader and why they would reject the man who had won he same governorship poll for our party before the court terminated his mandate, and who is now a serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria."

"From all indications, if the party fails to reverse itself, then the outcome of that November 16, 2013 election in Anambra has been decided by them," a political follower of Obasanjo told Leadership's correspondent."

The source recalled the efforts made by Senator Uba in the ongoing reconciliation between Jonathan and the ex-president and called on the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, Chief Tony Anenih, to intervene quickly before it is too late for the party:

"It is our hope that Chief Anenih would stop this drift before it would be too late; we wonder why these people would never see anything good in Baba Obasanjo and yet they run to him in the cover of the night asking him to help them to come out of their self-inflicted crises. "Mark my words, PDP would never win that poll with that boy as PDP's candidate."

Meanwhile, both the presidency and the former president have denied that they were on a collision course over the choice of PDP candidate for the Anambra election.
It will be reminded, that the parallel primaries took place on 24 August 2013.

The PDP disapproved the primary held by the faction chaired by Ejike
Oguebeogu and recognized by the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), where Mr. Uba was elected as its governorship candidate.

After that, PDP summoned Uba to appear before a disciplinary panel to "show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against them." Senator will be joined by his brother Chris and three other party leaders in Anambra, Ejike Oguebego, Benji Udeozor, and Tonia Nwankwu.
They are to appear before the National Working Committee (NWC) for a preliminary hearing at the PDP National Secretariat at Wuse Zone 5, Abuja on Wednesday, August 28, at 10 am.
