Mercy Mmesoma Obi Nnadi (née Obi; 19 April 1998 – 21 April 2021), popularly known as Ada Jesus was a Nigerian actress and comedian.
Early life and education
Ada Jesus was from Orlu, Imo, Nigeria. She graduated from Imo State University.
Career
Ada Jesus started modelling and attending auditions for movies and TV serials after she graduated from the university. She also worked as a housekeeper for a retired pilot, before starting her career as a stand-up comedian where she performed at events and shows. Ada Jesus became popular when she started posting comedy skits in Igbo language on Instagram and Facebook in 2018.
Sickness and death
In December 2020, Ada Jesus was diagnosed with kidney disease which left her paralysed and using a wheelchair, causing her body to swell, especially her face and stomach. She was later admitted to New Hope Hospital, Onitsha, Anambra State. In April 2021, when her health deteriorated further, she went to ask for forgiveness from pastor Odumeje, the founder of Mountain of Holy Ghost Intervention and Deliverance Ministry, actress Rita Edochie and an Asaba based native doctor, Chi Marine Temple. Ada Jesus accused pastor Odumeje of conniving with Rita Edochie to stage fake miracles and deceive people in his church.

Why this record matters
The phrase “nigerian actress and comedian (1998-2021)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q106588741. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1998, 2021, 2018 and 2020.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
