Mercy Johnson Reveals Why She Married At The Peak Of Her Career

Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson has disclosed that she
married at the peak of her career because time waits for no one.

According to her she planned on how she would like to give
birth while growing up—and she does care about what people say about her for
not checking the age gab of her children before welcoming another child.

She said: “I feel that when you haven’t gone through life
and you don’t have a bearing in life, that’s when you see certain decisions as
unreasonable. Most of these people who make these statements have not even
realised what they want to do with their lives yet.

“I had planned my life right from when I was growing up. I
arranged my life the way I wanted it to go. And that is why even when I was at
the peak of my career and marriage came, I grabbed it because I know age keeps
going and time waits for no one.

“It means that I can have all of my four kids and then still
get back to shape and come back to what I love to do. So I am not going to say
things like, ‘I don’t want to have kids yet’ or ‘I am not going to get married
and I want to keep acting because the young shall always grow’, you are not
going to be number one forever. That is why when it is time for you to do
something, you do it. Yoruba will always say in their prayers that when the
time for a child to talk has come, by the grace of God, she will talk. When
it’s time to go to school, he will go to school. That’s what I’m trying to do.
I want to define my life in a way my daughter will want to define her own life.”
