Nollywood legend Patience Ozokwor has recalled her struggle to make ends meet by dressing corpses. She would move from that intersection of her life to cuddle fame.
Ozokwor, who spoke on the sidelines of the pre-premiere dinner of Funke Akindele’s movie, “Everybody Loves Jenifa,” praised her colleague for her work ethic.
Referring to Akindele as a strong woman like herself, Ozokwor, fondly called Mama G, said she went through thick and thin before her rise to fame.

“Funke Akindele is a very strong woman. I love strong women. I am a strong woman. I am talking about the things that I do at home. I am a very strong woman, I went through thick and thin to become who I am today.
“I used to go to the morgue to dress dead bodies so my children could go to school and eat. I did a lot of things to make my family what they are today.
“You know they say no problem is accepted in his town but in my own place, they appreciate me a lot because they saw me through all these things.
“That’s the way I see Funke. When I see her, I look at myself. She’s a replica of who I am,” she said.
