Nollywood actress and married mother of three, Mercy Johnson Okojie in an interview with The Sun newspaper talks about her new movie Inipki, marriage, family and why she has stopped taking romantic roles in the movie industry.
In her interview, she said, “My husband doesn’t watch my movies. But I think he has heard about the clown I am in movies (laughter). Nevertheless, I adore him for being my backbone and supporter of my career. Though, for the past eight years of our relationship, I haven’t featured in romantic roles. This is because he doesn’t like it and I can’t do it for all the money in the world.”
She further stated that she must get consent from her husband before she does anything, which is good for balancing work and life together.
According to her, “I operate on a scale of preference regarding my service to God, family and job. My family has to be comfortable before discussing my job. I must appreciate my husband, Prince Odianosen Okojie, for giving me his consent when my appointment as SSA to governor came, knowing fully well the sacrifices and adaptations he will have to put up with.”
The actress is right featured in the movie Inipki, which is about a respected Igalaprincess in Igala, Kogi State, who laid her life down for the peace and tranquility of the people.

A faction of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Kaduna state has suspended the governor of the state, Nasir el-Rufai, for six months, DailyPost reports.
The governor’s suspension is coming three days after the faction, known as Kaduna Restoration Group, issued him a query and suspended three of his aides.
The party faction led by the Senator representing Kaduna North Central, Suleiman Hunkuyi, had accused El-Rufai of “anti- party activities and anti-human activities.The Senator said if El-Rufai did not respond to the query within 48 hours, “the state working committee will sit down and deliberate.”
But in a statement on Sunday, the faction said the governor refused to honour the invitation to defend himself over the allegations levelled against him.
It resolved to suspend him for six months with immediate effect.
The statement said, “Sequel to the 48 hours ultimatum issued to the Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir Ahmad Elrufa’i by the Kaduna state working committee of the APC to give explanations and defence on the allegations labelled against him, the SWC under chairmanship of S.I.
“Danladi Wada on Saturday 17th February 2018 convened, resolved and do consider and ratified the findings and recommendations of the Disciplinary and Fact Finding Committee put before it in accordance with Article 21 (B) (iii) of the APC Constitution, to the effect that having the governor failed to respond accordingly, he stands suspended for a period of 6 months from the APC with immediate effect.”

Experts say gene therapy could finally be used to treat Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) – after a decade of trying to replicate the transplant that cured a patient in Germany.
Although there is no definitive cure for the disease, there have been many advances in treatment that have made it possible for patients to live longer lives.
Last year, the United States (U.S.) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that people who religiously take their HIV medication for six months can reach a point where their virus is not transmittable.
However, experts say gene editing — which has been recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat cancer and a rare form of childhood blindness — has been developed to such an extent that it could be viewed as the best answer for a cure.
Matt Chappell, of San Francisco, California, has been taking the strongest AIDS drugs for more than a decade, but they weren’t able to full control his HIV infection.
He then participated in a gene therapy experiment in 2014 where scientists removed some of his blood cells, disabled a gene to help them resist HIV, and returned these ‘edited’ cells to him.
So far, it has given Chappell the next best thing to a cure.
“I’ve been off medications for three and a half years,” he said. He even was able to keep the virus in check despite cancer treatments last year that taxed his immune system.
Chappell was lucky, though. Only a few of the 100 others in those experiments were able to stay off HIV drugs for a couple years; the rest still need medicines to keep HIV suppressed.
Now researchers think they can improve the treatment and are trying again to tackle HIV by doctoring Deoxy ribonucleic Acid (DNA)/genetic material. New studies to test these tweaked approaches in people are getting underway.
“Gene therapy techniques have advanced greatly,” said Dr. Otto Yang of the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) AIDS Institute, one place working on this. “A lot of people are thinking it’s the right time to go back.”
They include Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is funding some of the new studies.
Although Fauci doesn’t think the technique will become common because millions of people do well on existing treatments, he says it could help those who can’t easily control the virus, and should be pursued because it holds potential for a cure.
“They’re very bold, innovative techniques, mostly to try and cure people,” he said. “It’s worth trying because the science is there.”
More and more experts are turning to gene-editing to prevent HIV.
A 2016 study published in the Scientific Report revealed researchers at Temple University developed a gene editing method that detects HIV DNA in people’s T cell genome, the DNA set of a type of white blood cells.
Once the DNA is edited out, the loose ends of the genome that were once attached to the HIV infection are reunited by the cell’s own DNA repair system.
Not only is the cell HIV-free, but it’s also protected from a new infection.
So far, Timothy Brown is the one of only two people in history to have been cured of HIV.
He had a bone marrow transplant more than a decade ago to cure his leukemia, and the stem cells came from a donor with natural immunity to HIV.
The donor lacked a common gene that makes an entryway HIV uses to infect T cells.
This transplant, which replaces a sick person’s immune system with stem cells from the bone marrow of a healthy person, gave Brown that protection, but procedures like that are too risky and impractical for wide use.
In fact, attempts to replicate Brown’s procedure has been deadly.(Guardian)

Speaking on Friday while receiving a delegation from the International Republican Institute, IRI, led by its president, Daniel Twinning, he argued that the practice of calling public officials elected into executive positions leaders of their parties prevents political parties from being truly independent.
Dogara harped on the need to strengthen political parties, adding that recent development in South Africa demonstrated that political parties could be independent.
According to him, “there is one problem that we must address in this country and that is that elected officials, especially those in the Executive, are always regarded as leaders of the political party.
“That is where we have a very serious problem in this country and if an elected Executive is the leader of the political party, the situation you find on ground is that every political actor within the entire party architecture must pander to the whims and caprices of that elected official.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara has adduced reason President Muhammadu Buhari and other persons elected into...
