“I Used to Go to the Morgue to Dress Dead Bodies” – Mama G on Her Struggles Before Fame
Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor, famously known as Mama G, has opened up about the hardships and challenges she faced before achieving fame in the Nigerian movie industry.
In a conversation at the pre-premiere dinner for Funke Akindele’s movie Everybody Loves Jenifa, Mama G shared her journey and the struggles she endured to provide for her family.
“I used to go to the morgue to dress dead bodies so my children could go to school and eat,” Mama G explained, speaking about the sacrifices she made to ensure her family’s well-being.
Mama G went on to describe how her experiences shaped her into the strong woman she is today, and how she relates to the work ethic of Funke Akindele.
She praised Akindele, calling her a “very strong woman” and noting their similarities.
“Funke Akindele is a very strong woman. I love strong women. I am a strong woman.
I went through thick and thin to become who I am today,” Mama G said.
The veteran actress spoke about how the people in her hometown deeply appreciate her, having witnessed her struggle firsthand.
“No problem is accepted in his town, but in my place, they appreciate me a lot because they saw me through all these things,” she added.
“That’s the way I see Funke. When I see her, I look at myself. She’s a replica of who I am,” Mama G remarked.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
