Mama G sheds light on the reasons behind the frequent deaths of Nollywood stars.

Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor, also known as Mama G, addressed the issue of frequent deaths among Nollywood actors during an event in Lagos. She emphasized that negligence and carelessness play significant roles in these unfortunate occurrences.

Additionally, Mama G shared a poignant moment from her experience at the funeral of John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, in Enugu State. She tearfully recounted how she approached Mr. Ibu’s body, calling out to him with the nickname she used, only to realize the finality of his passing when he did not respond.

Her emotional reaction underscored the deep personal connections and profound impact that these losses have within the Nollywood community. Through her words, Mama G highlighted the importance of addressing these issues to ensure the well-being and longevity of Nollywood stars.

Mama G also recounted a transformative spiritual experience in 2016 when she felt called by God to dedicate herself to His work. Initially hesitant, she eventually committed to a 30-day period of separation, during which she experienced a significant personal transformation. This encounter led her to embrace her role as an evangelist, sharing her testimony and impacting others with her newfound faith.

Her journey underscores the importance of spiritual growth and health consciousness, urging her colleagues and others to prioritize both physical and spiritual well-being. In her words:

“When you’re engaged in something enjoyable, you often neglect your health. But it catches up with you eventually. Some people are careless; when they’re sick, instead of seeing a doctor for a proper check-up, they opt for over-the-counter remedies from a chemist or pharmacy. This trend concerns me deeply. I’m unsure how many share my perspective, but i attribute it to carelessness. we strive to bring joy to others, yet overlook our own well-being”.
