She acknowledged that she is not flawless and that her perspective on life has evolved as a result of growing older.
She claimed that Mercy Johnson and her household were the primary recipients of the message.
The actress clarified that over the years, miscommunications in the film industry were frequently caused by third parties accusing one person of saying something negative about the other.
She claimed that these circumstances caused tension, arguments, and public disputes, but she stated that at this point in her life, she no longer wants such confrontations.
Every time Mercy Johnson’s name was mentioned, Okorie expressed regret for any hurt her remarks or online posts may have caused.
She said Mercy’s decision to apologise was genuine and from the heart, clearing her of any unfavourable labels that had been attached to her.
She also talked about their kids, emphasising that life is full of surprises and that their kids might meet and become close friends anywhere in the world.
She went on to say that parents shouldn’t let their personal conflicts interfere with their kids’ lives.

The actress continued by pleading with anyone she may have unintentionally or intentionally offended to forgive her.
She said she is choosing to make peace with everyone and characterised herself as a peaceful person who aspires to harmony.
Okorie went on to say that she views this as a new beginning for her relationship with Mercy Johnson and that she will no longer rely on rumours, instead contacting her directly if there are any problems.
She went on to say that they had already had a private conversation and resolved their differences, with both parties accepting and exchanging apologies.
In closing, Okorie expressed her love for Mercy Johnson, said she has no resentment towards her, and prayed for her ongoing success and advancement.
“Hello everyone, this is your one and only Legit Queen,” she declared. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of my fans worldwide. I mean, I have no idea what I may have done to deserve this overwhelming amount of love from you all. I’m not a flawless person. Indeed, I’m not.
Therefore, Mercy, her children, and her family are the target audience for this video.
Many of your possessions will leave you as you age. As the industry grew, some people would come tell me what Mercy had said, while others would tell me what Angela had said. There have been problems, arguments, mayhem, logherheads, you know, and I don’t think this is what I want at this age.
“Every time your name appears on social media, I just want to apologise if it’s just my words or what I have written. I sincerely apologise. You’re not a witch. What people are calling you is not who you are. I just wanted to apologise.
“We have no idea where our children will get together tomorrow. They may be best friends. These children have been travelling extensively. As mothers, we are powerless to prevent them from becoming best friends, even if they meet anywhere in the world.
“I don’t like that they refer to Mercy’s children as bullies at school and all that. I will not tolerate it if they do it to my child.
I apologise for this. I apologise sincerely for everything. I adore everyone. Make peace with all people, as the Bible says. I am reconciling with everyone. I have no idea who I may have offended. Biko, please, whether you realise it or not.
“I apologise; kindly pardon me. The Legit Queen is not a problematic individual. I am the sweetest person you will ever see or come into contact with. I sincerely apologise for anything I may have said or written disparagingly about you. This is a fresh start, Mercy. You have been and continue to be my friend. I will never again listen to anything someone says about you. I will give you a call if I hear anything.
For example, when we spoke on the phone, you expressed your regret to me, and I completely accepted you.
“I have nothing against you, and God in heaven is aware of that. In the name of Jesus, I pray that God will bless you and raise you up wherever you are because I love you.
The apology was made a few days after it was reported that Okorie had been detained in Lagos by agents of the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department on charges of harassment, threats, and cyberstalking.
Later on, she was given ₦5 million in bail.
