Mercy Johnson banned by Marketers for being too expensive
Mercy Johnson is currently the highest paid actress in Nollywood. She charges between N1.8million to N2m to feature in a movie. The others, like Ini and Funke charge between N700k to N1.2million.
For this reason, the actress has been blacklisted by the Nollywood Movie Marketers Association. The ban will not take effect immediately as Mercy has already signed up to do quite a number of movies. She returned on Thursday from a movie location, and will be on the set of another movie from tomorrow, Sunday. She will be traveling out of Nigeria sometime this month and when she returns, will be on another movie set...so she's basically booked till the end of the year.
The idea now is not to ban her after all her current contracts end. So the ban won't take effect until at least January 2014. This is not the first time the movie marketers association will be placing a ban on actors. They did this a few years ago when quite a number of Nollywood actors including Genevieve Nnaji, Ramsey Noah, RMD, Emeka Ike, Jim Iyke and others were blacklisted.

The nollywood marketers should stop banning their actors and actresses because of the amount the wish 2 be paid over their job is a chioce and what the person want, Mercy J deserve such payment cause her acting alone worth it so I think is wrong 2 ban her simply because she told them how mch she should be paid on the job she did.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy..she is worth more dan wat is even demanding. U can agree wit me dat she's simply the best among all. Her acting is superb, cos she stoops so low in taking roles dat so many oda actors n actress can not even take. She is simply original and good at wat she is doing. She appeared in movies even wen she was pregnant, how many actresses can do dat? She is simply the best and she fits in in wateva role dat is given to her. Nollywood marketers should knw dat she deserves more dan she's been paid. Believe it or not!!!
