Chimamanda Favour stated: “Why we she play this role at this age.”

Ina Joe said: “I know when they married her mother around 2001/2,this girl is too small for this kind movie, nollywood what are you teaching to our youth.”

Victoria Lawrence penned: “Mercy is too young for this part I don’t know what you guys are teaching our teenagers out there.”

Jacky Opiyo reacted: “In the past years I used to watch Nigerian movies seated with my parents freely, nowadays I’m always watching but with the remote control pushing forward scenes that my children shouldn’t watch. It’s hard to even draw moral lessons from a number of movies nowadays. Mercy is young for such scenes. I come in peace though.”
