Movie marketers threaten to blacklist Actress Mercy Johnson
There is an underground plans by the movie marketers under the aegis of
Film and Video Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria, FVPMAN,
to blacklist Mercy Johnson Okojie,, in what they call, “ Withdrawing of
service from her.” A highly placed source who disclosed this latest move
against the Actress to HVP, said, the association decided to take this
action, following the ‘unbecoming attitude of the actress as it affects
her work.” According to our source, members of the association met last
Monday, in Onitsha, Anambra State, to fine-tune plans to blacklist the
actress who recently returned to Nollywood after months of being away in
the United States, where she gave birth to her first child. Shedding
more light on the reason for blacklisting the Actress, our source
disclosed that the marketers accused Mercy Johnson of forming the habit
of disappearing while on location after she has been paid for the job.
She was also accused of given them difficult conditions. However, the
source further hinted that the marketers have vowed to sanction any
member who disregard the decision to blacklist the actress. He also
revealed that the leadership of the association has advised its members
to release all the films that Mercy Johnson featured in, on or before
January, 2014. Meanwhile, efforts to contact Mercy to react to the
allegations proved abortive as her cell-phone was permanently
switched-off. Recall, however, that upon her return to Nollywood,Mercy
was bombarded with several scripts from different marketers and
producers who wanted to get her on their movies.
