Netizens have taken to social media to chastise popular Nollywood thespian, Mercy Johnson, whom they accused of deliberately ignoring her colleague’s birthday gesture.
Mercy Johnson became a target for online trolls following her response to Yul Edochie’s birthday message and her refusal to acknowledge the greeting from his second wife.
Yul had hailed Mercy Johnson on her 38th birthday through an Instagram post he shared with a gorgeous picture, wishing her a happy birthday.

The ace actor in the post, described the mother of four and celebrant as one of the greatest things to have happened to the entertainment business.
He wrote; “Still one of the greatest in the business. Happy birthday @mercyjohnsonokojie I wish you many more great years. May God be with you always”.
Appreciating him, Mercy Johnson thanked him for his prayers.
“Amen, thank you loads brotherly“, she responded.
However, the actress failed to acknowledge Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin, who joined a host of Nollywood stars to celebrate her on her special and this didn’t sit well with many who faulted her for ignoring the actress.
Following Mercy’s response to just Yul’s birthday message, some trolls dragged her for snubbing Judy Austin.
A netizen identified as kateprettyiyke wrote, “@mercyjohnsonokojie so you can reply her hubby, but ignore his wife Judy. This is not fair madam, hate rubbish”
Another Instagram user, chucksbrhenda said, ” @mercyjohnsonokojie you are a hypocrite, prove me wrong by responding to Judy’s post. It’s just a harmless birthday wish”
While zick_kim added, ” @mercyjohnsonokojie, so you know see Judy own, even you too”
