Nigerian movie star, Mama G (Patience Ozokor) has a message for her colleagues.

She said: “Many actors and actresses started their careers in Enugu but relocated to Abuja and Lagos the moment they became stars and forgot their roots.”

“But for me, I said I am going to stay in Enugu, inside the village and when I go to Lagos, I tell them I am a village woman.”

“I stay at Ngwo in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State and God has shown me that you can become a star from anywhere.”

“You don’t need to be in Lagos or Abuja.”

“If you are good enough, they will call you even from America.”

“I received the Member Federal Republic award, Centenary Award given once in every 100 years.”

“I did not even know who put my name there, so you can be picked from anywhere.”

“That is the statement I wanted to make in this industry but I am happy that I am saying it today.”
