Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor popular as Mama G, says she believes God has endowed her with a special ability to convincingly portray witches, wicked mothers-in-law and other villains in films.
She made this statement while discussing her long-standing career playing such roles in Nollywood productions during a livestreamed interview with content creator Carter Efe.
Ozokwor said she does not support evil or injustice as a person, but fully commits to any negative role given her to deliver it convincingly and pass moral lessons to viewers.
“I think God put me in that niche. I hate every ill, Because I don’t like Injustice, War and Rancor. “When you give me those roles, I try to bring everything to them,” she said.
She says her negative characters are designed to make people question the effects of their actions and understand the importance of doing right.
“If you are taking part in any of them, you have to be careful and know the end thereof, because the end justifies the means.

The Enugu-state-born actress has featured in several Nollywood blockbusters and is acclaimed widely for her strong and often villainous characters, with an acting career spanning decades.
Others include Africa Movie Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress in 2012 and 2013.
Ozokwor was among the top 100 Nigerians honored by the government to celebrate the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates in 2014 and earned the Merit Award at the 2023 Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards.
