SHOULD READ: Mercy johnson Speaks On Her marriage

In an interview with Ynaija.com, Mercy who recently moved to her new home in Ajah with her family said the new house was a surprise from her husband, Odi. She said he did not tell her anything about it while they were in America and when they returned to Nigeria, she was thinking that they were going to their former house but he drove straight to Ajah and gave her a brand new car with plate number written “Odi’s wife”.

When asked what inspired the name Purity, that was given to her daughter; she said

When I asked my husband, he said “You. She reminds me so much of you.” He said I have a good heart and he’d really want her to have a good heart and clear conscience like me. And he’d wish for everything about her to be pure.

On her experience as a first time mum and how motherhood/pregnancy has affected her life, she said;

It’s magical, it’s awesome! I just can’t stop staring at her. When I was pregnant, my sister-in-law came to the house and when her son pooped I said “Oh my God, don’t let it touch my chair!” Then I was about six months gone and she just looked at me and said “In three months time, you will understand”. And really, it is true. Now when Purity poops, I begin to dance. Everything is special. I want to clean her up myself, dress her up myself. I just can’t explain, she makes me complete.

Well, you can see, I’ve added so much weight. But aside from my physical appearance, having Purity has changed me so much as a person. Having her makes me want to set the right example, to have good records so she doesn’t get embarrassed when she’s grown. It changes my perspective to life and the way I react to things. I tolerate things more, I overlook things more. I love children generally but now I understand how precious every child is to their mother so I try to treat other children the way I’d want her to be treated if I’m not around.

Mercy Johnson spoke about her personal style since she got married;

You know, you get wiser by the day. Sometimes when I look back at some old pictures, I’m like “Seriously, did I wear that?” I’ve learnt a lot since I got married and I know that if I had gotten married earlier, I wouldn’t have made most of the errors I made. When you are married to somebody who is so organized, he brings you up the right way and reminds you of who you’re supposed to be.

Mercy Johnson is happily married, and she stressed the fact that she doesn’t own the so called mercyjohnson.com gossip site. She is only on twitter so friends and family should not be fooled.
