Veteran Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson Okojie, has taken to social media to celebrate her 41st birthday in a special way, sharing heartfelt words of gratitude, love for her family, and deep reflections on her journey so far.
The award-winning actress, who has remained a beloved figure in Nollywood for decades, marked the joyful occasion on Wednesday, August 28th, with a touching post on her official Instagram page. In her message, she revealed that turning a new age was a moment of thanksgiving to God and also an opportunity to reflect on the blessings in her life.
Mercy Johnson posted a series of stunning birthday photos taken at the beach, where she was joined by her children. The photos captured warm family moments, showing the actress enjoying her day in the company of her kids while reflecting on how much they mean to her. She emphasized how her children have been a great source of healing, filling her heart with joy and mending wounds created by critics and trolls over the years.
“My kids have healed what they did not break,” she expressed in her emotional post, underlining how her family has been her biggest strength through both joyous and trying times. She further thanked God for adding another year to her life, describing the milestone as a testament of grace and divine protection.
In her caption, she simply wrote: “Plus 1. Thank you Lord. Birthday girl. My kids have healed what they did not break…,” giving her fans a glimpse into the depth of her gratitude and the love she shares with her children.
The mother of four also acknowledged that her journey hasn’t always been smooth. Earlier this year, the actress sparked concerns among fans after a viral video showed her looking slimmer than usual, leading to widespread speculation that she might have been battling health issues. However, Mercy has since reassured her supporters that she is healthy, dismissing the unfounded rumors.
For her, this new age represents not just another year added, but also a renewed sense of hope, resilience, and joy in being surrounded by the people she holds dear. She continues to inspire her fans, not only with her acting prowess but also with her strength as a woman, wife, and mother.
