Nollywood Star, Mercy Johnson has reacted to ongoing ripples generated over the social media by her ride with a local train enroute Ikeja from Iddo on Tuesday March the 2nd.
Pictures of Actress and her first child, Purity, which surfaced online aboard the local train triggered so much outrage from some fans, many of whom felt the actress stooped so low to take a train ride with the commoners, as some were even of the opinion that she may be getting broke.
But the Prolific Movie star had reacted swiftly to the insinuations, saying she took the train only because she had to make an appointment in Ikeja after her Range Rover SUV broke down.
“I was around Iddo at Ebute Metta when my Range Rover developed a mechanical fault and I had to make a very important appointment in Ikeja, regardless of the usual traffic congestion in Lagos. Luckily, a member of my management team was around, he suggested a train ride and we were in Ikeja in less than 30 minutes”.
On taking a train ride with the so-called common people, the Mother of two said she is as ordinary person as the next person in the street.
“I grew up as an ordinary person among ordinary people. Why would I avoid them now? Would that be because I am now famous? Without these ordinary people, how would I have been famous in the first place? Without the so called ordinary people, where would Nigeria’s growing population of so-called well packaged celebrities be today, She asked.
