Patience Ozokwor, also known as Mama G, believes that women should not give up their passion for their career, even if their husband advises otherwise.
Patience Ozokwor shared a personal story of her marriage, where her sister advised her to stop acting when her husband fell ill.
She stated that she chose not to do it as it was their sole means of survival.
Patience Ozokwor, commonly known as Mama G, has spoken up about why she believes a woman should never give up her career, especially if it is her passion, simply because her partner says she shouldn’t.
To support her stance, Patience Ozokwor revealed a story about her own marriage, in which her sister advised her to stop acting when her husband got sick.
She said that she didn’t do it because it was their sole way of survival.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Sun, the award-winning actress said that even her spouse did not push her quit acting.
In her words;
“My dear, that is not done anywhere. You can’t tell me to give up on my passion just because we got married. For instance, if someone studied nursing for over five years, you then tell her not to venture into it because you are her husband, it is not done. And for this acting, you know it is one passion that can drive you crazy, that makes you so happy.
I remember then when I started acting my husband was very sick, my sister told me to stop acting and take care of my husband, but I told her no. I mean he is sick and he is not working and she wants me to give up my work too.
My husband even told me not to give up, he will always tell my kids to put my movies for him so he can watch them. I made sure I registered him at UNTH for the best treatments, and when he had a crisis, I ran back to him. So, you can’t give up a passion for marriage.”
Veteran Nigerian entertainer Charly Boy has responded to Nigerians who have questioned his sexuality and labelled him gay.
The entertainer addressed the issue in a post shared on his Instagram page, saying he was unbothered by the speculation surrounding his sexuality.
According to Charly Boy, some Nigerians have openly described him as gay over the years, but he has refused to allow the comments to affect him.
“For years, many have questioned my sexuality, some have openly called me gay.
“Anything una like make una talk, because I know for many Nigerians, dey are still living under the rock,” he wrote.
Charly Boy also spoke about embracing his feminine side, arguing that doing so does not make a man less masculine.
“Embracing ones feminine side isn’t about becoming less of a man—it’s about becoming more of a human being.
“It’s about having access to the full spectrum of human experience: strength and vulnerability, logic and intuition, independence and connection.”
Concluding his message, the entertainer appeared to dismiss his critics, writing, “If u know u know. I no send ur father.”

As of the time of filing this report, members of her family had yet to issue an official statement on the circumstances surrounding her death.
Popular TikTok streamer, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has announced attendance rules for his white wedding with his wife, Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, popularly known as Jarvis, saying bloggers and excessive camera coverage will not be allowed at the ceremony scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026.
Speaking in a video shared on social media on Sunday, August 2, 2026, Peller said he wants a more private atmosphere for the church wedding after his experience at the traditional ceremony.
According to him, there were more bloggers than invited guests at the traditional wedding, with some people allegedly buying aso-ebi just to gain access to the event and record videos.
“My white wedding is on August 8. I don’t know who brought those bloggers to my wedding. I don’t know how bloggers will be more than the guests. Some people bought aso-ebi just to come and record us. I want only 80 to 100 people at my white wedding,” he said.
Peller said the white wedding would be an intimate event with only 80 to 100 guests.
He also claimed that some people who attended the traditional wedding appeared to be more interested in creating content than celebrating with them.
Despite his concerns about the crowd and media presence, Peller said the traditional wedding was successful.
“Anyway, the traditional wedding was a success,” he said.
