VIDEO: Why I often play witch roles in movies — Patience Ozokwo

Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor, also known as Mama G, has explained why she often plays witch and villainous roles in movies. According to her, she believes it is a divinely assigned calling.

In a live-streamed interview, Ozokwor said she hates injustice, war, and rancour, and when given such roles, she tries to bring everything into them. She aims to expose the consequences of evil and bad behaviour through her performances, framing them as a form of social instruction through storytelling.

Ozokwor's portrayals of villainy are carefully crafted to show the end result of a terrible life, and what one gains from being a good person. She believes that the end justifies the means, and that one must be aware of the consequences of their actions.
