Mercy Johnson, speaks about her life, the movie industry and other issues Q: You have played different roles in the Nigerian movie industry to the extent that your fans dont know the kind of person you are. How will you describe yourself? A: I am like the girl next door. Most people know me as Mercy Johnson but did not bother to find out about the Ozioma aspect of me.

First, we concede an all-time opportunity of governing this State to Igalas when we arrived Kogi State. The nostalgia of old-time brotherhood in the then Kabba Province urged us to allow Igalas have a bite at the cherry. Now they have transfixed themselves to the position where they can consume all the cherry while we watch helplessly. We became beleaguered and disconsolate in a State in which we rightly have a stake. We danced to the perpetual music of calculated stratagems aimed at undoing us.

Upogo Waterfall in Okene is situated along Okene Ajaokuta road. It is situated-like most waterfalls-in a rocky landscape, about 20 minutes trek from the Okene Secondary School (O S S) end of Okene-Ajaokuta road. It flows gently at this time of the year (dry season) but comes in full force during rainy season. It attracts local tourists across Nigeria as one of the most beautiful natural environment in Northern Nigeria. The waterfall is mostly patronized as a perfect shoot location for local movie producers while the traditionalists revere it for it's healing powers which earns it the name; Ori Ogana. The sorrounding is dominated by shrubs with neatly placed rocks that create natural stairs for ascension from the grassland to the base of the waterfall making it a perfect choice for nature lovers.
