In a post shared by @realangelaokorie on Instagram, the Nollywood actress has formally reached out to her colleague Mercy Johnson-Okojie to seek forgiveness. The public olive branch comes after years of social media call-outs and personal grievances that had previously divided their respective fan bases. Okorie expressed deep regret for past misunderstandings, extending the apology to Mercy’s husband and children.
The actress noted that life is too short to harbor animosity and that she is choosing a path of peace and reconciliation. This shift in tone marks a significant departure from her previous stance, which often involved fiery allegations regarding industry competition and personal character.
Supporting this development, The Punch Newspapers reported on its official platform that the apology was unexpected but welcomed by many industry insiders. The outlet quoted a section of the post where Okorie stated, “I am deeply sorry for everything that happened in the past; let love lead.” Similarly, Legit.ng highlighted the viral nature of the post, quoting Okorie’s plea for “grace and understanding from the Okojie family” as she moves toward a “new chapter of maturity.”
Echotitbits take: This reconciliation could signal a stabilizing trend in Nollywood, where “clout-chasing” feuds are increasingly being replaced by veteran solidarity. If Mercy Johnson accepts the apology publicly, it may set a precedent for other long-standing industry beefs to be settled, potentially leading to future collaborations between the two powerhouses.
