With all T’s crossed and I’s dotted, Mercy Johnson is set to walk down the aisle on Saturday, and we can tell you her parents have arrived in Lagos all pumped up for peace and war depending on the one necessary for the day.
Mercy’s mother, Elizabeth, is now fire-brand prayer warrior raining curses on her daughter’s detractors at every opportunity and blamed Lovely for not treating her husband properly, hence losing him to her daughter.
Excerpts:
Madam, are you indeed Mercy Johnson’s mother?
Yes I am. Mrs Elizabeth Johnson, mother of Mercy Johnson.
What are your plans towards her marriage amidst these controversies?
I don’t have any plans now, God is our town planner, I put my trust in Him. He is the one that raised her to where she is today, before she met Odi God was aware, everything happening today are not unknown to Him. My belief is that if God assigns Odi of which I know He has done for her, as a husband, the gate of hell can’t prevail over it. God that made their paths cross know their future, present and past, whosoever stands anywhere looking for the downfall of the innocent girl will face the battle of God.
Madam, did Odi inform you he was married as is generally reported in the media?
Odi isn’t married, he told our family, that when he got to Italy, the lady was his girlfriend and she bore him a child, later, Lovely met a guy and followed him to Canada and she bore him that boy, the woman herself confirmed it. We are not aware of other things because Odi has said the truth and when we asked him how long they separated, he said for the past 5 years. Let us say the truth and let the devil be ashamed. I have told my daughter to let the will of God be done in her life. As for rumour mongers saying Mercy has scattered her home, she is the one who scattered her home because if she loves Odi she wouldn’t have followed another man and even giving him a child, the man is late now, so they want to set my innocent daughter up and spoil her day of joy and I know God will never agree with them.
Why do you think this is a planned work to disrupt Mercy’s wedding?
There are people who watch you without you knowing, out of all the children I have, Mercy is unique, I can never deny her anytime any day, she is gifted and God has used her to bring the family up, so if anybody is stepping on my joy, he or she will face the wrath of God cos one stupid person who claims to be a man of God said in the newspapers that if her mother is reasonable enough she will make her cancel the wedding. The man is not a born-again cos if he is and isn’t deaf and blind, he would have asked how a woman who left her husband five years ago now shows up threatening with fire and brimstone, this definitely is a set up but as many as run their mouths against the Johnson’s family will face the wrath of God because we are innocent.
Did you have any inkling at her inception or birth that she would be this famous?
No, we are Christians in our family, we hand our children to God and after that it is sealed up. It is God who made her what she is today, when she was young, she used to play and make a lot of people laugh, she is very free, that made us to know that she had a brighter future ahead, she was the head girl in secondary school, she always come first in sports, dress rehearsals so I see no reason why she shouldn’t excel in her career. No evil hands or thought against Mercy can work; nobody can overcome her I Jesus name. (Father cuts in) I have been reading stories tarnishing our image, imagine somebody wrote that I said I have cancelled the wedding, when did I say so? We should have the fear of God in whatever we do. Like this Lovely of a person, if she is actually the wife of Odi and my daughter is struggling to take her away from her marriage, I will pray to God and tell my daughter not to go into another person’s home but the truth is my daughter knew Odi in 2009, if Odi is so important to him why must he leave him for another man; now that the guy is dead now, she wants to come back saying somebody is snatching her husband from her, I can phone Odi’s father and they will tell you they don’t even know her.
There was also a report that Mercy has run away from home?
How can they say she has run away from home, I saw her this morning, we were together.
Madam, are you saying the wedding is still going on as planned?
God is a God of plans, He will bring out everything perfectly, we depend and look up to Him, we have put everything into his hands and nobody can change the plan of God
What would the party be like, is it going to be church affair or with some traditional touches?
In our area, we do traditional, court and church weddings. I did the three when I was getting married to her father; it is the same pattern that we will follow.
You don’t attend the same church with mercy?
No we don’t, we attend Pentecostal church, Mercy and her elder sister used to go to The Redeemed Christian of God before she started attending the Christ Embassy
What are her church plans for the wedding?
I don’t have anything to do with the church cos we don’t attend Christ Embassy; all I know is that God says her marriage will stand. Mercy is not the first person people will plan evil against. Our God is a God of battle. She has never soiled her hands in anything devilish. Many people mistaken her ole in movies to be her person, she has been given different names, some say she wants to marry because she is pregnant, I asked her if she was pregnant and she said she was in her period that she was going to show me.
So by your words, the wedding is going as planned?
By the grace of God, with all the powers of God. I Elizabeth , I say nothing though I have nobody to assist me, I have God, nothing will stop my daughter’s wedding. Let this be a lesson for every woman who doesn’t want their husbands to be their husbands. If you don’t respect what you have when you lose it you will be crying for nothing because she lost her husband and Mercy took over, so nothing can happen. She has lost her husband, Mercy has taken over, let her go and die.

I am sooo disappointed… see elderly parents telling lies and running their mouths like water….. poor lovely the lord is your strength, the lord will you and Odi’s 2children, you train your kids. Sit back and see what the lord will do in your life. Also remember that not only mercy will reap what she has done but all her family and all those who support her and associate with her. As for Odi.. you and you alone open you mouth and deny you son…. ahhhh…. you will reap the wrath of the Almighty God God regarding this IJN. so her mother and father can proudly say lovely lost her legal wedded husband to their prostitute daughter…. what a shame
Mo!or wetin b ur name,wat is ur problem?wat if u re in her shoe wat will u do.do u want ur own parent to denil u.u re calling mercy a prostitue.u all re all jelousy of her,she has made her name,either bad or good,all mercy jonhson haters shld go to hellllll.leave jugdement for God,if he is her hubby,God kwns better.amebossss make u na leave mecry alone ooooo.
Because of her mother, my wedding blessing for her is that she will go through half what Odi is putting Lovely through in the nearest future ans we will see her react then in Jesus name. Shameless mother who has been bought with money!!!
Mena or wat is ur name idiot,people like u don’t regard ur parents at home,so it easy for u to call other people,s perant shameless.monkey ur own parent no like money?if u don’t kwn wat to write,stop insulting people,s parent.boooooom
Poverty is indeed a curse. Because Mercy is the family’s breadwinner that is why her wretched parents are now siding evil for good abi?
May God have mercy on you Johnson family.
You old folks are saying God this, God that, have you not read in that bible that ‘God hates divorce’
No problem, Odi or Ode will still do exactly what he has done to Lovely to your daughter for whatsoever a man sows, that will he reap and should any of you her parents complain when these things start happening the wrath of God will surely descend on you IJN.
enkay pastor,why don’t u leave all dat to God,who made u a judge over her family idiot.I hate it wen other talks bad abt other,mean while they re worse .
Well only God knows the truth. If Odi is not legally married to Lovely then Mercy should go ahead with the wedding as planed. but Mercy should also be careful with her life cos anything can happen.
Na wa
abeg u guys should get your facts right before crucifying her family there is a popular saying that u dont know what u’ve got till it gone. how are we not sure that d lovely’s eyes opened when she found out her so called husband wants to marry mercy johnson? i no d man is not denying his children but then we should not start raining curses on mercy’s family without knowing the truth. its just my own opinion sha…
@binta, Odi said he was never married to her initially. I believe he wanted to keep the two wives in different parts of the world but didnt envisage Lovely would find out this early.Afterall he claimed they only had one child together until it wad discovered that the divorce petition he wrote last month after lovely found out, he said the 2 children are his. i know 2 men who did this exaclty. one wife abroad one in nigeria. He wont divorce loveline legaly until his canadian papers are alright. thats if he EVER divorces lovely legally. Hopeless liar of a man.
@mena were u told it was lovely dat too odi to canada?cos u re talking abt canadian papers?see proof b4 u jugde madam.
Too much irrelevant information “… and she said she was in her period that she was going to show me” Yaiks!!!!! Not cool at all…Mama, you for skip that detail..lol
Lovely has been asked to provide her marriage certificate to Odi, which she has not been able to provide. She worked out the relationship five years ago and went along with another man, now the man is dead and u people all think its still Mercy’s fault. God is the true judge. We shall see
Mrs johnson you are a disgrace to motherhood,iF every mother was like you the world would has been a very useless place to live in.bad mother and bad adviser.
pls live mercy joo abeg make na live this gal make marry e man,i like that mama johnson she bi good mama,she stand for her pinkin
good job mama and papa johnson
when are we going to break free from our primitive mental prison?..here is a man who has made up his mind to marry a woman of her choice and ignorant thugs come here to blame a young woman woman for accepting his proposal…this lovely of a woman lost a battle and should not blame mercy for her woes..are you guys insinuating that odi is not man enough to take a decision or you just want to mischieviously rope an innocent girl into a matter between odi and lovely..what if odi decides to marry an entirely different person?..please let us leave this couple alone and lovely should look out for someone else.afterall,joyful marriage does not start and end with odi.
All dis drama as far as I knw is pure foolishness,y take panadol 4 mercy”s headache,4 cryin out loud mercy is a singl lady who got proposed 2 and eventually accepted,its not her fault daat she got involved wif a guy whoose got issues already,rainin curses and evn extendin it 2 her mother is d greatest display of disrespect,dat is wrong shez jus bng a mother and quite frankly I dnt fink she owes any of u or me an explanatn,her doin d interview was 2 clear d air,a new chapter begins 4 mercy,rather dan attatchin somuch controversy 2 dis chapter,y not b hapi 4 her its her life and she can do as she pleases,she simz hapi 2 me.plz give it a rest.
Only God knows the truth of the whole matter!
Barr. Bose ole or wateve U̶̲̥̅ called,its like U̶̲̥̅ mercy’§ mail rep, i can say U̶̲̥̅ r A̶̲̥̅ very faithful servant of mercy, birds of same species flock togeda. I wish U̶̲̥̅ wat God wants for U̶̲̥̅.
