News: Mercy Johnson's Husband's Estranged Wife Speaks from Canada

Lovely and her kids

Lovely Okojie, ex-wife of Odianosen Okojie (Mercy Johnson’s husband) in a new chat with Encomium says she has moved on after the debacle that saw the father of her two children move on with popular actress, Mercy Johnson. Lovely who is in her early 30s maintained the episode which made her husband go for another woman is now history. She had maintained a deafening silence for long until Saturday, March 15, 2014, when she spoke with ENCOMIUM Weekly from her base in Canada.

“I have no explanation to anybody.  Life is full of ups and downs. I have accepted my fate.”

 How are the children doing now?

“The children are doing fine.  I thank God for them.”

How have you been able to cope with the children’s welfare?

“Like I said, I thank God. I am coping well.”

But when Lovely was asked if her former husband (Odianosen Okojie) has been assisting in the children’s upkeep, she got furious, insisting the man in question is history......so in her past!

“What do you mean?  That is my past.  Don’t ask me questions about my past.  I don’t want to relate with my past.  In fact, I don’t know what you are talking about,” and the phone went off.

However, a source close to Lovely revealed to ENCOMIUM that she (Lovely) is still very much bitter about what happened to her marriage to Prince Okojie.

“She is still bitter.  She felt betrayed.  She is not thinking of another marriage now, she is yet to recover from the past experience.”

 Lovely came to lime light when she raised an alarm in 2011 that the man Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson was planning to marry was actually her legal husband. At that time, preparations towards the wedding were going on with the actress shopping for her wedding in Europe and so on. And when everything seemed to be going smoothly, Lovely dropped the bombshell with pictures of her marriage to Okojie to back up her claim. There was a slight setback that many thought would truncate the marriage plans but NO, it didn't.
Odia Okojie and Mercy Johnson got married at the Christ Embassy Church, Oregun, Lagos on Saturday, August 27, 2011, amidst very tight security.
The couple is now blessed with a daughter- Purity.
