Award-winning Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson has disclosed that some women are patiently waiting for her downfall.
The 37-year-old actress made this disclosure in a post she shared on her Instagram page recently, while sharing photos taken at a movie location.
According to the mom of four, some people close to her don’t truly like her but are only hanging around because they want to hear bad news about her.
She went on to rain curses on them and wished them the evil that they wish upon her.
Sharing the photos, the sensational thespian wrote,
“On a monday morning after realising that some women who follow you nor like you, dem dey here cus they cant wait to hear bad news. May God make dem eat bad news all the days of their life….Emi o ran iya la iya yin ooooo….Zeh it now.”
A Nigerian Twitter user has averred that female medics in Nigeria are “hardly ever desired for who they are” as most men want them just because of their profession.
In a series of Twitter rants, the lady noted that once a woman tells a Nigerian man she’s a doctor or a nurse, they bring up marriage without getting to know her.
She added that most Nigerian men see female medics as trophies, and most of these men are usually unwilling to support the female medics because they believe they have money.
To buttress her point, she quoted a tweet that stated that men drive around the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in search of female doctors and nurses.
In her words,
“It’s quite interesting and sad to see that Nigerian female medics are hardly ever desired for who they are. The moment you tell most Nigerian men you’re a doctor/nurse, they bring up marriage because to them, they’ve found a trophy.
They fixate on that little detail and get so immersed in it that, as far as they’re concerned, that’s all they need to know about you. They just want to be able to say “My wife is a doctor.”
Your entire personality doesn’t matter, they are not willing to spend on you like they would other girls, they just want that “trophy” in their house. And you spend so much time in school that by the time you graduate, these men think they are doing you a favour.”

In his words,
“Better to be an average guy in a high rent district than be a lord in a ghetto. Move from a low rent area even if you have to live in a room in a high rent area. Poverty is not caused by generational curses, but by generational bad habits triggered by your environment. You are the average of the 5 people you hang around with the most. Your neighbours either add to your labour or your favour. That is why you should choose where you live wisely. Slums often come with scums. It is hard to rise above your location.”
A follower who had a different opinion took to the comment to ask where he would get the money to pay for a high-rent apartment and if neighbors really “connect” people.
