Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie has addressed concerns about her health after a clip of her discussing a cancer scare recently went viral.

In the clip from her Mercy’s Menu TV show, the actress, during a conversation with her colleague, Joke Silva, recounted her health struggles and her sudden weight loss, revealing that she had a cancer scare and underwent a thyroid removal surgery.

Some fans misinterpreted this to mean that the movie star has cancer and started sending prayers and well-wishes to her.

Reacting in a video message shared via her Instagram page, Okojie clarified that she doesn’t have cancer. She explained that her doctor thought a tumour on her thyroid was cancerous, but it turned out to be non-cancerous.

She said, “Thank you to all of you who have been calling and sending messages and prayers. I do appreciate it so much, but I do not have cancer.

“I noticed that a clip from my TV show, Mercy’s Menu has been flying around and I think it was cut, they cut the clip. I said I had a cancer scare. It means that I’ve this swelling on my neck, if you can see the line there, and my doctors felt it was something serious. I had problems with my thyroid.

“I’m perfectly okay. Thank you so much for all of your calls and your messages. I’m perfectly fine and I do not have cancer.”
