Actor Yemi Blaq, from Nigeria, revealed that Mercy Johnson and Steph-Nora Okere helped him succeed in the performing world.
He continued by saying that Steph-Nora had hosted him during his first visit to Lagos and had given him an outline of Nollywood’s workings as well as the things he needed to do to stay relevant.
Yemi spoke on how Mercy Johnson helped him, advising him to cut his long hair for a movie role because he had been given a special opportunity, even though he had long hair when he first joined Nollywood.
According to what Yemi Blaq stated,
“The people who helped me while I was coming up were Steph-Nora Okere. She showed me the ropes. She was a good host when I came to Lagos.
She told me some things about the industry and how to comport myself. I will also say Meg Video Links gave me the chance to play my lead role. Apart from that, other people gave me chances in their movies.
I will also say Mercy Johnson (helped me in my early years in the industry). Then, I used to spot long hair and Meg asked me if I wanted to cut my hair for a role I went to ask her (Mercy), and she advised me to cut it. She said people have been in the industry for so long and they are looking for the opportunity that I have.”
