PATIENCE OZOKWOR, the Nollywood actress popularly known as Mama G, was in the country recently as the special guest of the Nigeria High Commission for the Tafrija Festival. When Patience is not playing the role of a wicked woman, she is playing the old wise woman. She spoke exclusively to SHIRLEY GENGA
I always wanted to be an entertainer from the time I was a little girl, but I was not sure what I wanted to do exactly. I came from a humble family in Ngwo, where my village is Amaobo. I grew up in a polygamous home but my father made everyone feel equal — we all ate together and no one was treated better than the other.
