Patience Ozokwor Regrets Playing Wicked Roles
Patience Ozokwor is one of Nollywood’s most celebrated artistes. Popularly known as Mama G, she is without a doubt, one of the most sought after actresses in the industry. She has perfected the art of playing the role of a villain, especially the wicked mother-in-law, so much so that many people wrongly assume that the characterisation mirrors her real life persona.
According to our source, the multi-award winning movie star is now a born again Christian and now goes about, preaching in various churches and crusades. She reportedly rejuvenated her spirituality January this year after she was told by the Holy Spirit to fast for 21 days. Patience Ozokwor who allegedly grumbled initially, was then told by the Holy Spirit to extend the fast to 30 days.
During this fasting period, the Lord reportedly revealed to her that she will be a voice for Him all over the world, people’s attention will be channelled from her image on Nollywood to the gospel. Ozokwor who got her major break in 1998 movie ijele, reportedly left all of these things go. In her interview, she reportedly said she could have died last December and eventually gone to hell if she changed her way of dressing.
She added that her moniker, Mama G, has been dropped, and that she has been preaching to her Nollywood colleagues as well. This however does not mean she will be abandoning Nollywood for good, as she reveals that she has taken a break from acting for now. With this development, Patience joins other Nollywood stars like Charles Okafor, Eucharia and Jayke Aernan who have chosen to focus more on their Christian faith.
On her movies which move her to tear, Mama G said, “you want to know the one that moved me to tears about my characters? There are characters I’d played in movies and after watching them back at home, I just thanked God it wasn’t me. It was a character. Nearly all the movies where I played wicked roles made me cry because i remember what that charcter had done to somebody. I do these jobs to the best of my knowledge because I want to sit down at home, watch and cry over what I’m doing to people.”
There was a movie I did many years ago, it was titled ‘Prophecy’ – what moved me to tears in that movie was that I was so wicked that I seized feeding bottle from the mouth of a new born baby who lost his mother and I was supposed to be taking care of the baby. The baby was crying. I seized his feeding bottle and threw it away. I wept profusely, the director stopped shooting until was able to control myself. Then I summoned courage to continue. If someone had done it in real life, I would have exposed the fellow to the world to see,” she said.
“There was another one where I went to take my sister’s daughter from the village, what I did to the girl, If any human being can do it to a fellow human being, I don’t know what God would do to that person in turn. I met her in the kitchen, beat her so much that she fell down the stairs, rolled down and died from broken head and pains all over. I’d been playing wicked roles but those two movies are exceptionally horrible.
I doubt that any human being would do that to anyone,” she said.
In January 2016, Patience Ozokwor gave her life to Christ and since thenthe actress has dumped her stage name and other unrighteous lifestyles.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.
According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.
Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.
According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.
“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.
“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.
Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.
“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.
“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.
“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.
He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.
“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.
“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
