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.
Vanguard.
