Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor has said she takes pride in the “villainous” characters she portrays in films, noting that they are designed to reflect and expose societal realities rather than define her personality.
Speaking during a recent video chat, the 67-year-old actress addressed long-standing public perceptions that often blur the line between her on-screen roles and her real-life identity.
Ozokwo, widely known for her “Mama G” persona, said many viewers mistakenly assume she is wicked in real life because of the harsh characters she plays in films.
She explained that her performances are intentional and meant to highlight societal ills, particularly those often ignored or normalised.
“I feel bold to expose the ills in society. Those things happen and nobody wants to expose them. I am exposing them,” she said.
The actress stressed that her roles as strict mothers, antagonistic in-laws, and other tough characters are purely professional interpretations,
