“Expect baby number 4.” Mercy Johnson Says To Fans Who Slammed Her For Not Spacing Her Kids
Popular Nollywood super mum and actress, Mercy Johnson Okojie, has reacted to fans who criticized her for not spacing the birth of her children.
According to the award-winning actress, the criticism didn’t get to her, rather, she told her fans and foes that they should “expect baby number 4” soon.
Speaking of not spacing her children, the doting mum of three told Punch that she had charted a course for her life even before she got fame and she is following her laid down plans.
”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,” she said.
Joggling her career, motherhood and marriage, she further stated:
”I think what has got me this far is placing my decisions on a scale of preference. I love what I do, I adore my husband, I adore my kids, so every time I have to make a decision, I pick which is more important, and I start from there.
”I understand the home front is more important so I manage my home and create time to do what I have to do. I think that has helped me get this far.”

She even has time to respond. I wonder who she is begging for financial assistance
She can have as much kids as she wants and even have them every year, it’s nobody damn business. It’s her life and her body, people should learn to respect that.
