Mercy Johnson Dragged For Selling ₦25k Sanitary Pads To Poor Girls

Mercy Johnson is being heavily dragged for her expensive sanitary pad brand Girls Tag that costs ₦25,000, accused of sidelining poor girls and women while favouring the rich with Regina Daniels as brand ambassador. This Nollywood drama has sparked massive outrage online as critics slam the premium menstrual kit for being out of reach for average Nigerian families amid period poverty. Is Mercy Johnson insensitive or just building a luxury brand? Nollywood actress Mercy Johnson-Okojie and her daughter Purity are brand ambassadors for Girls Tag, an all-in-one menstrual care kit priced at ₦25,000. The kit includes premium pads, period pants, wipes, and a guidebook. Shortly after launch, Regina Daniels was announced as another ambassador, further fueling the fire. Many are calling it tone-deaf in a country where millions of girls struggle with basic menstrual hygiene, often missing school or using unsafe alternatives. Social media users, including Nigerian-American singer MsJorji, have slammed the move as favouring rich women while sidelining the poor. This Mercy Johnson sanitary pad controversy raises bigger questions about celebrity endorsements, period poverty, and class divide in Nigeria. While some defend premium products for those who can afford them, others argue essential items like sanitary pads should remain accessible. What’s your take?
