Mercy Johnson Ozioma, from a family of seven children. is an Igbirra from Okene in Kogi State. The curvy actress made her acting debut in the movie, "The Maid" in which she played the role of a possessed house help. Her performance in that movie shot her into the limelight. She has since appeared in over 60 movies. What many would consider a misfortune became a blessing: Her inability to pass her JAMB exams brought her into the Nigerian movie industry (Nollywood).
While she was growing up, things were pretty though. She had difficulties paying her school fees most times. At a point, she actually worked as a house maid to survive.
Recently, amidst controversies, she got married to her hearth throb, Prince Odianosen Okojie at Christ Embassy in Lagos. The star studded event is still the talk of the town.
Johnson has won several awards, among them, the 2009 African Film Award for best supporting actress.
