Mercy Johnson Wins Most Outstanding Actress in Africa
Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson Okojie has emerged
the Most Outstanding Actress of the year.

Mercy, who is one of the hottest faces in the
Nigerian movie industry, won the award at the
prestigious Afro-Australian Music and Movies
Awards (AAMMA) which was held in Australia
recently.

The Afro-Australian Music and Movies Awards is the
only African awards event in the whole of
Australia and New Zealand.

The award recognized Mercy Johnson as Africa’s
queen of the screen which is a symbolic
recognition.

The event was the third edition of AAMMA, and it
was held at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney,
Australia.

Though MJ regrettably was absent at the awards
ceremony, due to circumstances beyond her control,
Nollywood actor Desmond Elliot received the award
on her behalf. Other distinguished award winners
at the exquisite event were Desmond Elliot, John
Dumelo, ‘Makossa’ crooner Awilo Longomba and
Pascal Atuma.

AAMMA appreciates, encourages and celebrates
talents in and outside the African community of
Australia, the African continent and the Diaspora.
Past winners of the awards include the ‘African
Queen’ crooner, Tuface Idibia, Jimmy Bangura and
Emmerson Bockarie.

MJ, who made her movie debut in ‘The Maid’
years ago, has featured in over 100 movies and
still counting.

She has won other notable awards including the
best actress at the exquisite Future Awards.
