Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwo, popularly known as Mama G, has explained why she has frequently been cast in villainous and antagonistic roles throughout her decades-long career.
The actress spoke during a live-streamed interview hosted by content creator Carter Efe on Monday, where she addressed public curiosity about her recurring portrayal of such characters in Nollywood films.
The interview clip quickly went viral across social media platforms, sparking widespread discussion among movie fans.
”I think God gave me that niche,” Ozokwo stated, describing her recurring typecast as a “wicked woman” or antagonist not as a mere business choice, but as a divinely assigned calling.”
“I hate every ill because I don’t like injustice, war, and rancour. When you give me those roles, I try to bring everything in them,” she continued.
“If you are taking part in any of them, you have to be careful and know the end thereof, for the end justifies the means. Know what will happen to you if you live a terrible life, and know what you will gain if you are a good person.”
The actress noted that her performances were carefully crafted to expose the consequences of bad behaviour, framing her portrayals of villainy as a form of social instruction through storytelling.
