Patience Ozokwor, a legendary Nollywood actress has stated Infidelity is not part of the reason why she would consider leaving her marital home.
Patience Ozokwor made the revelation during ‘Mercy’s Menu’ which is a popular cooking show in Nigeria hosted by fellow actress, Mercy Johnson Okojie. Here’s what she had to say; “Me, I’m not going to leave my house for anybody, you are the visitor that came in. Find your way out! I will so hold my family, so polish it, and sweep out all the debts, and then have a peaceful home again”
She would then continue “If infidelity is constant, it is the one that is an infidel that should go out. I’m not leaving my house for anybody” after Mercy Johnson asked her even when the infidelity is concerned.
Patience Ozokwor would then go on to advise against married couples who are playing the divorce game “God is not against separation. What God doesn’t want is divorce. God is not saying we should not divorce because sometimes he does not know that we have violated – No! Coming from a Christian background, we are not allowed to divorce. If you pray and the man turns around to become something else, escape for dear life because it is only those who are alive that can tell the story. When you are dead, nobody can tell your story for you. For me, marriage is forever till death do us part. That is the way I brought up my children. What we have today baffles me. I feel for the children that they’re giving birth to because I don’t know how they would learn something better from their parents.”
Patience Ozokwor nicknamed ‘Mama G’ in the industry started her career over 20 years ago and is today one of the celebrated iconic figures in the Nollywood movie industry
