Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor aka Mama G, has revealed she did odd jobs to make money to feed her family.
She stated this while reflecting on her life and struggles before stardom.
Speaking on the sidelines of the pre-premiere dinner of Funke Akindele’s movie, ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’, Mama G said she did odd jobs to cater for her family before fortune smiled on her.
She praised Funke Akindele as a workaholic like herself.
She said, “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.”
