“My Marriage Was Horrible, I Was Forced Into It”- Actress Patience Ozokwor Opens Up
Veteran nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor has opened up about her marriage to her late husband.
According to her, the marriage was Horrible. Patience stated that she was forced into it by her parents, she had no choice to endure it because of her children.
She said at the time her parents forced her into marriage, she was in love with someone else but her parents didn’t give her an opportunity to make her choice. Her marriage was all about endurance, just to please her parents.
Months ago, Patience Ozokwor, aka Mama G, told Sunday Scoop that actors found guilty of sexual harassment should be banned from the industry.
She said,
“Yes (they should be banned) because they cannot represent us as an industry. The guilds in the industry have disciplinary committees and they won’t allow such people to stay. There is a standard punishment that is to be meted out to anyone found guilty of such act.
“It is heartbreaking whenever I hear that things like that happen in the entertainment industry because they (entertainers) have access to whatever they want. There is no girl they desire and approach that would not follow them, even when they (girls) know that some of them are married. Forcing a girl into (the act) is just stupid. My heart is breaking as you are telling me that it happens in the industry because I don’t go on social media anymore.”
Handing down advice for the womenfolk, she said,
“Girls should stop dressing provocatively. It seems like they can’t do without skimpy wear. That was one of the reasons I shut down my boutique because if one doesn’t sell skimpy clothes, people would not buy.
“However, people with good background would not do that because they know it would bring shame to their families. Some actresses think that when they dress that way, they would get roles but it is not true. Talent comes first. It is on set that one would be given the kind of dress one is to wear, so that one can properly portray the character one is playing. Many girls come in (the industry) and they want to make it by all means, so they fall into the wrong hands.”
