According to her, many of the issues portrayed in films truly exist in real life, but people are often unwilling to address them openly.
“I felt bold to expose the ills of society. These things happen and nobody wants to expose them, so I’m exposing them. So I’m extremely proud of myself and Mama G lovers,” she said.
Ozokwor’s remarks have since sparked conversations online about the role of Nollywood in shaping public attitudes, as well as the impact actors have in reflecting societal problems through storytelling.
Widely regarded as one of Nollywood’s most iconic actresses, Mama G became famous for her strong portrayals of strict mothers, manipulative in-laws and other tough characters that have remained memorable with audiences over the years.
