Mercy Johnson opens up on her new look, weight loss

There has been speculations concerning the sudden change in Mercy Johnson-Okojie’s physique.

Her slimmer look has raised concerns of her health condition.

However, the versatile thespian, married to a House of Representatives members, Odianose Okojie, has finally opened up on her new look, saying it has to do with “strict daily medication…”

She explained: “There was a moment in my life when everything stood still. I had a cancer scare.

“It shook me to my very core. It led to the removal of my thyroid, a small but vital gland that controls so much of how our bodies function – our metabolism, heart rate, even our body temperature. Since then, life hasn’t been the same. I had to embrace a whole new way of living, including working hard to manage my weight and depending on strict daily medication for the rest of my life.

“Many people speculated that I lost weight due to abūse of slimming teas, I forgive you ❤️

“But let me be clear: I did not and do not have cancer, neither did I use slimming teas. I am okay. I am strong. And I am sharing this not for sympathy, but to remind anyone going through any health scāres or issūes – you’re not alone!

“We rise, we adjust, and we keep moving forward.”
