February 10, (THEWILL) – Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, has opened up on her greatest fear about her children.
She revealed that her fear has made her protective of her kids.
Speaking on the latest episode of Mercy’s Menu’, her cooking show, she said she grew up feeling empty and having no sense of direction.
“One of my biggest fears would be my kids going through what I went through, you know that emptiness and no sense of direction”, she said.
Mercy added that she suffered as a child and would not want her children to have the same experience.
“So like I always say, my life is like a scale of preference and they come first before every other thing.
“Because as a child, I suffered so much and I remember crying with nobody to clean my eyes. I can define hunger because I know it. I can define abuse.
“So it’s a feeling I don’t want any child, not the one that came from me to go through. My past is the reason why I’m so protective of my kids.”
