Taking to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Mercy declared, “O ti to ge. It’s time to say my piece. Everything I need to say, I will say it tomorrow. 12 PM. Instagram.”

The eagerly anticipated announcement comes in the wake of escalating tension between the two prominent actresses, a dispute that has garnered widespread attention from both Nollywood insiders and their avid fanbase.

The altercation significantly worsened following Angela Okorie’s Instagram Live session on June 3, 2025. During the session, Angela claimed to have forgiven Mercy after hearing reports that the mother of four was seriously ill.

However, Angela did not hold back in her criticism, urging Mercy to seek forgiveness from those she had allegedly wronged and questioning her use of religious language, which Angela suggested did not align with her actions.

Angela’s remarks quickly sparked controversy, drawing an immediate and fiery response from actress Regina Daniels, who leapt to Mercy Johnson-Okojie’s defence. In a passionate Instagram Story, Regina called Angela “mad” and insisted that neither she nor Mercy “practices forgiveness.”

“I’m sorry, and with all due respect, Aunty Angela, you dey mad! Abeg no forgive because for this side, we no dey forgive… No dey shalaye!!” Regina wrote. The actress further reminded Angela of Mercy’s strength as a mother, stating, “She get pikin wey gidigba.”

This is not the first instance of Angela publicly criticising Mercy Johnson-Okojie. In a previous outburst, she controversially attributed Mercy’s significant weight loss not to slimming tea, as widely believed, but to alleged “spiritual consequences,” stating that “she has no more blood to suck.”

Angela went on to accuse Mercy of destroying homes and lives and insisted that she must seek spiritual atonement or remain restless.
