“I used to dress de@d bodies” – Actress Patience Ozokwor

Patience Ozokwor, well known as Mama G, a veteran Nollywood actress, has spoken up about her past and the struggles she endured before becoming famous.

Mama G recalled how she worked odd jobs to support her family before her fortunes changed during the pre-premiere dinner for Funke Akindele’s film, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’.

She praised Funke Akindele’s work ethic, comparing it to her own.

She said, “Funke Akindele is a very strong woman. I love strong women. I am a strong woman. I am talking about the things that I do at home. I am a very strong woman, I went through thick and thin to become who I am today.

“I used to go to the morgue to dress dead bodies so my children could go to school and eat. I did a lot of things to make my family what they are today.

“You know they say no problem is accepted in his town but in my own place, they appreciate me a lot because they saw me through all these things.

“That’s the way I see Funke. When I see her, I look at myself. She’s a replica of who I am.”
