Yeah you read right, Nollwood marketers have banned actress Mercy Johnson Okojie cos of being too expensive. Doesn't sound right does it? If someone's fees is excessive, the sensible move to make would be to boycott them and use less expensive actresses. Leave her to people who are able her na, abi? Problem dey ?

Continue after the break.

Mercy Johnson is currently the highest paid actress in Nollywood. She charges between N1.8million to N2m to feature in a movie. The others, like Ini and Funke charge between N700k to N1.2million.

Because of this, the actress has been blacklisted by the Nollywood Movie Marketers Association. The ban won't take effect immediately as Mercy has registered to complete quite a number of movies. She returned on Thursday from a video location, and will soon be on the pair of another movie from tomorrow, Sunday. She will soon be traveling out of Nigeria sometime this month and when she returns, will soon be on another movie set...So she's basically booked till the end of the year.

The idea now could be not to ban her after her current contracts end. So the ban won't take effect until the January 2014. This is not the 1st time the movie marketers association is placing a ban on actors. They did this many years ago when quite numerous Nollywood actors including Genevieve Nnaji, Ramsey Noah, RMD, Emeka Ike, Jim Iyke and others were blacklisted.
