I nearly drowned on set but Mercy Johnson saved my life – Hadiza Abubakar recounts

Nollywood actress Hadiza Abubakar thanked Mercy Johnson, a colleague, for saving her life.

The actress shared what happened to her on set while filming a movie and how she almost died on her Instagram story.

She claimed that she was given a part in which she was supposed to plunge into a pool.

She began to drown during the scene, but the directors and others watching thought she was acting until Mercy Johnson called their attention to the fact that she was gasping for air.

She wrote;

“Almost drowned while filming on set yesterday, but everyone thought I was acting. It dawned on them after some seconds, and I was losing my breath. Thanks to Aunty Mercy Johnson and the stuntman who noticed after some seconds and helped me out.”

Mercy Johnson passes important message to celebrities who reduce their age

Mercy Johnson Okojie has criticized public figures who downplay or exaggerate their age.

The mother-of-four posted a video of her outing with her youngest daughter, Divine, at a Lagos park on her Instagram page.

Mercy Johnson could be seen in the video encouraging her daughter as she played around the bouncy house.

No matter how one reduces their age, according to Mercy, age isn’t measured in years but rather in bones.

She made a point about how we can only determine a person’s true age through DNA.

“No matter how you reduce your age, age is not in the number ooo. Na bone e dey. From 20yrs oooo but any day you follow small pikin do race.

You go know say 40yrs bone and 20yrs bone difference dey…..so much fun plus do you believe this park is in Lagos? Will share in a bit once dem give me something”.
