“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 singer Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
