Like many parents, Mercy Johnson-Okojie has shown that protecting one's children is a priority.
Recall that in October 2021 the actress had called out a teacher in her daughter's school, stating that she can be hated but not her children.
However, revealing why she is so protective of her children, Mercy in the latest episode of her cooking show, explained that she has been through many tough times in the past and as a child she understood the term hunger and abuse.
She said, "Because as a child, I suffered so much and I remember crying with nobody to clean my eyes. I can define hunger because I know it. I can define abuse. It’s a feeling I don’t want any child, not the one that came from me to go through."

Speaking further, the mother of four stated that her children occupy the first place in her life because the thought of them ever having to experience even a little bit of her harsh past makes her shudder, the reason why she shields them jeaously.
In her words, “So like I always say, my life is like a scale of preference and they [My Children] come first before every other thing. My past is the reason why I’m so protective of my kids.”
