Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has publicly apologized to her colleague, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, and Senator Ned Nwoko, following a period of intense social media conflict and alleged cyberbullying.
The apology comes in the wake of a reported police invitation after Mercy Johnson allegedly filed a petition against Okorie over sustained online attacks.
In a reflective and emotional Instagram post, Okorie acknowledged that her past words and actions were regrettable, admitting that she had allowed emotions to cloud her judgment.
Angela’s Apology to Mercy Johnson
Addressing Mercy directly, Okorie expressed remorse for the pain her actions may have caused, noting that she never intended to harm her colleague’s mental well-being.
“I am human, and when my emotions take over, I speak from the heart—sometimes too bluntly—especially when I feel hurt,” she wrote. “But I now realize that even if my words came from a place of pain, they were hurtful. Mercy, your mental health matters, and I sincerely regret any distress I’ve caused. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.”
Apology to Senator Ned Nwoko
Okorie also extended a formal apology to Senator Ned Nwoko, acknowledging that her reaction to a perceived attack was out of line.
“My sincere apology also goes to Senator Ned Nwoko. I understand that my angry response was triggered by an unprovoked attack, but I now see that my reaction was inappropriate,” she wrote. “I have always respected you, especially remembering the times I participated in your political campaign and supported your family events.”
On Betrayal and Forgiveness
Okorie also spoke about being at the receiving end of betrayal, cyberbullying, and false narratives spread by bloggers and online trolls. Despite feeling hurt and targeted, she said she has chosen forgiveness over resentment.
“I’ve been through a lot—false claims, betrayal, misleading videos—but I forgive everyone involved and leave them to their conscience,” she added.
Concluding her message, Angela emphasized the importance of peace and unity over conflict, stating that the events of the past days have made her realize the value of reconciliation.
“Being at peace is far better than holding grudges. I deeply regret my actions and I am truly sorry,” she concluded.
The post marks a significant shift in tone from Okorie, who had previously been vocal in online disputes, signaling a possible end to the public feud.
