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, not reflections of her personal life.“I am not like that, but I expose it. I am extremely proud of myself and Mama G lovers are proud of me,” she added.Related NewsSome friends left me when I started creating content — Arinola LymarActresses need more than beauty to survive in Nollywood — Mo BewaWomen criticise me online, chase me in real life — GehGehOzokwo noted that acting is a craft built on storytelling and moral reflection, and said she is pleased that many of her fans understand the message behind her performances.Over the years, she has become one of Nollywood’s most recognisable figures, with a career defined by powerful portrayals of complex and often controversial characters.Watch the video below:𝐈 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐳𝐨𝐤𝐰𝐨 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 ‘𝐌𝐚𝐦𝐚 𝐆’ 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬Credit: X | Dee_9889—Follow us for more breaking news and videospic.twitter.com/lyZhZA2Ivm— Punch Newspapers (@MobilePunch)June 13, 2026 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.
