Nollywood star Regina Daniels is paying a heartfelt tribute to veteran actress Mercy Johnson, revealing how the beloved screen queen played a crucial role in her growth during her early years in the industry. In a touching statement, Regina looked back on her humble beginnings in Nollywood, recalling how she was often overlooked because of her age and inexperience. “When I was still very young in Nollywood, many people didn’t take me seriously because I was small. I didn’t know much, and I needed help to grow in acting,” she said. That help came from none other than Mercy Johnson, whom Regina fondly calls “Mommy Mercy.” “She took me like her own younger sister. She taught me how to act better, how to talk in movies, and even how to behave on set. Sometimes she would even buy food for me and make sure I was okay.” According to Regina, Mercy’s kindness and guidance gave her the strength to continue pushing forward, even when others ignored her. “Mommy Mercy Johnson stood by me when others ignored me. Today, I am a big star, but I will never forget her kindness,” she shared. “Thank you, Mommy Mercy, for helping me when I needed it most.” The emotional tribute has touched the hearts of fans across Nigeria, highlighting the often-unseen sisterhood and support that fuels the entertainment industry. From mentee to megastar, Regina Daniels' rise is a beautiful reminder that behind every success story, there’s someone who cared enough to help.
