Mercy Johnson Okojie, an epiphany of Nollywood, reminded the world of her worldwide hospitality with a performance that is now trending on the social media. The actress shared a snippet from the latest episode of Mrs Policeman Obasi Blessing Jessica and herself, and let’s just say… Mercy did bring it!

In this chilling clip, Mercy Johnson went over the top, furiously screaming lines like “Kairaba gobskest!” and “Think about your protein!” that are bound to go viral and become memes. The insane energy has Mercy shouting about houses and salary… and then protein intake? That is a fusion of comedy and absurdity served in a cup that only Mercy knows how to.
The comments section was filled with hilarious reactions from viewers who could not get enough. One supportive comment said, “You’re phenomenal ma’am. Love this,” followed by many crying laughing emojis, while another said jokingly, “Na you dey bring out real characters for movie… action versus action.” That protein line had everyone in stitches; one commenter even said, “This now has me thinking about my protein” – same here.
Others, in rivalry with the long-time fans, joined the nostalgic chorus with comments like “Mek una leave acting for MJ… fell in love with this woman since The Maidens!” which sparked debates on some of Mercy’s classic titles. More comments were in for the mention of ‘Heart of a Fighter’ as another one for the books. That mercy wave spread far and wide; comments such as “MJ for Life we love u mama” are testament of how much her fans adore her.
That particular scene was spot on. “I laugh tired yesterday when I was watching this series,” one viewer disclosed, meaning at that moment from Mercy’s lines, the laughter almost killed you. Another apt comment came from one of Mercy’s better lines from the episode, “Wunmi no go carry the bag ke.”
The thing that makes Mercy’s work so loving is that she dives headfirst for her characters, one hundred percent of the way-huge or gigantic. That recent attempt at chaos imitating Mama House showed Mercy hasn’t lost her touch in Nollywood these years. Selling the ridiculous protein and house lines with supreme conviction is what keeps Mercy still in the upmost rank as one of Nigeria’s finest actresses.

With very memorable lines, classic obnoxious delivery, and pure entertainment, Mercy Johnson Okojie again reaffirmed why she sits alone at the top. Anyone looking for some laughs may want to call the newest episode of ‘House Maids’ the ultimate good TV! One tiny tidbit of advice: maybe don’t watch it while eating. You might just choke when the protein talk begins.
