Celebrated Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor has recently detailed reasons why some of her colleagues seek financial support on social media during failing health conditions.

According to her, many of her fellow actors make decent money while they are active and working in the industry, however, their costly lifestyle, which the public expects of them, causes them to spend a lot of money in order to maintain their status as celebrities.

While speaking in a one-on-one interview, the renowned actor blamed heavy spending and flamboyant lifestyle as factors responsible for their begging when they fall sick and are helpless.

The actress who received the AMVCA Merit Award not too long ago asserted that many people feel actresses are wealthy because of the clothes they wear on the red carpet, hence, they do not assist them.
