Mercy Johnson Faces Backlash Over N25,000 Premium Menstrual Kit

Nollywood star Mercy Johnson and her daughter Purity Okojie were unveiled as ambassadors for Girls Tag, an all-in-one period care pack priced at N25,000 for girls aged nine and above. Many Nigerians criticized the price as unrealistic in a country where basic sanitary pads remain unaffordable for many. Critics called the timing and messaging tone-deaf given ongoing period poverty. Supporters argue the kit targets a premium market and that not every product must be low-cost. They say those who can afford premium care deserve quality options. The debate highlights issues around celebrity endorsements, menstrual health, affordability and the gap between luxury products and the economic reality facing many Nigerian families.
