‘Mercy Johnson helped me when my ex-husband threatened me’ – Etinosa
Nigerian actress, Etinosa Idemudia, has revealed that her colleague, Mercy Johnson, helped her when her ex-husband threatened to kill her.
She made the revelation during a recent interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
The actress said she started receiving death threats from her first husband after she accused him of domestic abuse during an interview.
Narrating the incident, Etinosa stated that Mercy Johnson helped her forward the case to the Chief of Naval Staff.
The actress said, “So, how that happened, I went for an interview for a film, ‘Stormy Heart’. Like I said, at that time I was very green. I don’t know how to avoid questions in an interview or divert or lie with sense. It’s all about honesty at that time. So I think they asked about love or relationship. I now said one relationship nearly killed me. Anyway sha, the person is my ex-husband. I said it carelessly.
“Did you know that the media house left everything I said about the film, they now crafted marriage aspects. Even myself I was shocked, nothing wey I no hear. Because nobody knew about all those things until that time. My ex-husband now called me that I’m doing an interview on his head. So he started threatening me, saying that I want to ruin his career. He said that I should come out and write that I said those things because I’m a bitter ex. And I asked him if he wanted me to put myself under the box for you?
“So when the threat was getting too much, I have to now cry out on Instagram. So, a few people reached out to me that I can’t remember. But I remember that Mercy Johnson reached out to me because she has a very strong military background. She was like she’s going to forward the case to the Chief of Naval Staff, to cut the story short, someone from Abuja reached out to me that they are now on the case, that this person will not bother you anymore.”
Recall that Etinosa was first married to a military man, Babatunde Solomon. They divorced between 2017 and 2018. Also her second marriage to Ighorosa, at Benin-based lawyer ended in 2021 after they welcomed their first child.

Warner Bros. Says Resuming Talks With Paramount On Its Buyout Offer
Warner Bros. Discovery said Tuesday it is reopened talks with Paramount Skydance on its buyout offer, giving the company a week to beat out a rival Netflix bid.
These discussions scheduled to end February 23 are designed to give Paramount Skydance a chance to make its “best and final offer,” Warner Bros. Discovery said in a statement that stressed it prefers the Netflix merger offer and has scheduled a special shareholders meeting to vote on it on March 20.
Television and film titan WBD, which owns CNN, put out word in late October that it was open to acquisition offers.
WBD’s board subsequently accepted an offer from Netflix to buy only its streaming and studio business.
Paramount Skydance is seeking to buy all of WBD for $108 billion. Netflix is offering $83 billion for its more limited merger.
The Netflix offer does not include buying WBD television properties such as CNN and Discovery. These would belong to a newly created and publicly traded company called Global Networks if the deal is sealed.
Paramount Skydance accuses the WBD board of failing to present shareholders with details needed to properly compare its offer to the Netflix bid.
During the talks that opened Tuesday WBD said it will discuss “deficiencies that remain unresolved and clarify certain terms of PSKY’s proposed merger agreement.”
Since making its initial offer Paramount has amended it twice.

“Why I stopped paying Tithes to churches” – Toke Makinwa reveals as she shares her personal history
Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa has revealed why she stopped paying her tithes to churches.
In a candid conversation with Chude Jideonwo, she shared her perspective on tithing and the role of the church in people’s lives.
Toke reflected on the unintended harm religion can sometimes cause, noting ‘post-traumatic church syndrome ‘ as one of the damages it has done to people.
Makinwa questioned the need to give her money to institutions that already possess wealth, while many individuals are struggling for basic survival. According to her, she now provides financial support to hospitals, maternity wards, and individuals with urgent personal needs.
“I started thinking, if I have money and someone tells me they need it to pay rent, why should I pass it into a building that’s already rich.
I would rather give my tithe to strangers who tell me their actual needs. The church is built. The pastors have money. Let’s help people the church cannot reach”.
To further buttress her points, she recalled how she handed over her entire brand endorsement deals to her church in search of a blessing, but now the story has changed.
“Seven years ago, I didn’t touch one naira from an endorsement deal; I carried it all into the church. Now, I give where it directly helps someone in need”.
Makinwa stressed that helping a neighbour should take priority over fulfilling a routine religious obligation. She added that true impact happens when resources reach those who cannot afford food or healthcare.
