Patience Ozokwor Attributes Nollywood Stars’ Frequent Deaths to Carelessness and Negligence
Famed Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, otherwise known as Mama has attributed the frequent deaths of Nollywood actors to the lack of attention and carelessness on the part of the actors.
During an event in Lagos, the veteran actress expressed her sorrow over the fact that some actors would rather seek help from local pharmacists instead of going to a reputable hospital for proper medical check-ups.
”When you are doing something you are enjoying, you wouldn’t bother to take care of your health. Once there is life in you, you keep doing what you are doing. And it’s something that pays back on your body.
“Some people are so careless that when they are sick instead of going to the hospital for a proper check-up, they prefer to visit a chemist or a pharmacy to buy a pain reliever. It’s no longer safe with me. I don’t know how many people are thinking like myself. That’s why I blamed it on carelessness. We are trying to put smiles on the faces of people while forgetting to take care of our health, ” she said.
The thespian who has starred in several movies further encouraged her colleagues to prioritize regular medical check-ups and eliminate habits that could harm their health.
