Unconfirmed reports insinuates that sultry Nollywood Diva Mercy Johnson Okojie is going into Music. She is not the first Nollywood superstar to venture into the Music arm of entertainment.
She tweeted about this after the just concluded AMVCA saying "with @DONJAZZY at AMVCA...watch out for my single...its Don Jazzy again."
Don Jazzy responded saying ""Osheee tell them."
Osheee Tell em.
“@realmercyj: With @DONJAZZY at AMVCA...watch out for my single...its Don Jazzy again! ”This kinda creates an impression that sooner than later, we would see a new single from Mercy Johnson Okojie.
Our fears however circle around the fact that most of these Nollywood stars venture into it with little or no success. Their being successful in acting doesn't transpire to equivalent success in Music. Mercy Johnson's case however might be different as she has succeeded in most things she involves herself in and is not known to partake in anything she doesn't believe she can achieve.
We all remember the likes of Genevieve Nnaji ( with her single - "No More" ),Omotola Jalade Ekehinde (OmoseXy), Tonto Dikeh ( Now with D Banj Record label (DKM), Desmond Elliot, Lilian Bach, Kate Henshaw, Ramsey Nuoah, Charles Okafor (Mr Ibu), Nkem Owoh, Patience Ozokwor and many others who figured , the Music arm of the Entertainment Sector would be more rewarding and possibly less challenging.
So far, most of them who ventured to 'dive in' , did not hesitate to 'dive out'. A few others tasted some form of success from that side of the industry. Notable amongst them is Nkem Owoh whose "I go Chop Your Dollars' sold millions of copies world wide.
Although its disputed that that song was made by veteran nollywood Music creator Stanley Okorie, facts still remain that the success of the song was attributed to Nkem Owoh's performance.
We wish Mercy Johnson Okojie all the best and hope that she still continues to grace our scene from the acting as well as music part of entertainment
