Angela Okorie apologises to Mercy Johnson and Ned Nwoko weeks after online outburst

Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has issued a heartfelt apology to her colleague Mercy Johnson-Okojie and Senator Ned Nwoko, acknowledging that some of her past utterances and actions were hurtful and regrettable.

This came following an invitation by the police after Mercy Johnson Okojie reportedly filed a petition against her over incessant cyberattacks and bullying.

In a lengthy Instagram post, Okorie revealed that recent events prompted a period of deep reflection. She admitted that while she often reacts emotionally, she now realizes that her words, though spoken from a place of pain, caused unintended damage.

Addressing Mercy Johnson directly, Okorie said she regrets her actions and prioritises Mercy’s mental health and peace of mind.

She also extended an apology to Senator Ned Nwoko, noting that her angry reaction was a response to what she described as an “unprovoked bashing and attack,” which she admits was blown out of proportion.

Angela’s apology to Ned Nwoko, Mercy Johnson

“Hi beautiful people, these past days have been a period of intense reflection for me. Lately , having reminisced on certain events that had transpired, I can only thank God that I am alive.

It’s no secret that there have been some difficult issues circulating on social media between Mercy Johnson and myself; Moving forward, I would like to address this matter.

I am human, and when my emotions take over, I speak from the heart, often saying things directly as they come to me, especially when I felt hurt. Once I’ve expressed myself, I forget about it and move on, but I realize now that my utterances whether uttered from the place of pain or not was hurtful, some events that has happened these past days made me realize that I should have done better.

I feel so sorry having realized how this gets to you, Mercy. Your mental health is very important now and ever & I wouldn’t wish you and your family worse, that’s not my nature, and you know it, Do find a place in your heart to forgive me.

I’ve also been the target of lies, betrayal, and unwarranted attacks. Bloggers have spread false information, and people have created videos filled with blatant lies. The betrayal has been overwhelming, but I forgive everyone who has hurt me and leave them to face their own conscience.

Furthermore, My sincere apology also goes to Senator Ned Nwoko, I understand that, my anger in trying to make a reply didn’t find you in a good state, it was as a reaction of an unprovoked bashing and attack that was blown out of proportion.

I truly reacted in a way I now recognise wasn’t pleasant. I cannot intentionally disrespect you for whatever reason. To buttress this, I remember being part of your political campaign, the one you brought ZuleZoo , myself & other artists.

I have also honored your family’s yearly children’s carnival when invited;
All these have made me realize that being at peace is better than war or fight, I deeply regret my actions and am sorry.”
