Mercy Johnson opens up! "Why I boarded the train with "Ordinary people"

The Internet was buzzing yesterday(No not enough to break it) because actress Mercy Johnson dumped her luxurious rides and hopped on a train

Well she's tried to explain how,why and when she decided to hop on the train with "Ordinary people"

Ohhh her Husband also went on the trip with her,photos of him also on the train surfaced today.. see what she said below..

My picture and that of my daughter, Purity in a Lagos train has surfaced online and quite a number of people have asked me what I was doing in a train and in Lagos for that matter; not Paris or London.

I was around Iddo at Ebute Metta when my Range Rover developed a mechanical fault and I had to make a very important appointment in Ikeja regardless of the usual traffic congestion in Lagos. Luckily, a member of my management team was around, he suggested a train ride and we were in Ikeja in less than 30 minutes but that is not the crux of this statement.

Like I mentioned earlier, I have had to answer questions in private and public as to why I would board a train because trains in Nigeria are considered a means of transportation for the ordinary and not-so-rich people. A friend called and said I just devalued my brand by being on the train with ordinary people.  I couldn’t help but laugh. Are we extra ordinary people because we are celebrities?
