Mercy Johnson joins husband in opening a three-bedroom flat built for an elderly man rendered homeless; photos

 

Prince Odi Okojie, the husband of Nollywood actress, Mercy Johnson, has completed the three-bedroom flat he promised to build for an elderly man whose home got damaged during rainfall.

A couple of weeks ago, Prince Okojie saw a post about the old man, Elder Francis Uhioh, on Facebook after the wind blew away his roof and sent his team to help build a 3-bedroom apartment for him. 

Taking to his Instagram page on Friday, June 17, Prince stated that he and his wife, Mercy Johnson have officially handed the keys to Elder Francis and the family at the opening ceremony. He expressed his gratitude to those who donated and helped with the construction of the house.

He wrote: 

"To the glory of God Almighty, Yesterday the 16th of June, 2022, I and my amiable wife, Mrs Mercy Johnson Okojie kept our promise as we officially handed over the keys of the brand new house we built for the septuagenarian, Elder Francis Uhioh of Amando Quarters, Amendokhian, Uromi. It particularly excites us to see joy and happiness restored back to this family whom I have never met until yesterday at the official opening ceremony. 

"Like I have said before and still reiterating now, showing love and bringing succour to people in dire need is a divine calling for me. Giving back to the needy amongst us is not a feature of how much one has in the bank, but of how much love one has at heart. In our outreaches programmes over the years, I learnt that there is a special kind of joy that comes with uplifting people no matter the strata of society they belong. It pleases God when we do the least we can for fellow brethren especially in critical situations."
