“I used to dress dead bodies” – Actress Patience Ozokwor

Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, has shared insights into her life and the challenges she faced prior to achieving fame.

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

She commended Funke Akindele for her industrious nature, likening 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.”
