Patience Ozokwor Turns Born Again Christian After Fasting for 30-days, Abandons Nollywood

Patience Ozokwor is now a born again Christian.

In a new interview, the iconic actress dishes on her new religious life, how she met God, the retreats she holds and having to ditch her previous lifestyle which included wearing trousers, dreadlocks and jewellery.

The folks at Star Tells met up with Ozokwor at a church event at St. Marks Anglican Church in Eziobodo Village, Imo State, where the actress famous for her ‘wicked mother-in-law’ roles, revealed how she fasted for 30 days this year.

The interview gets interesting as the actress who had starred in over 50 movies, said she has not been involved in any movie projects ever since that intense praying and fasting this year, even though she previously made a minimum of N1.5million per week from movie shoots.

And on how her family feels about this new lifestyle, she says her daughter is deeply upset while her brother felt she is not mentally sound.

According to Star Tells:

“[Patience Ozokwor] normally organises a personal retreat for herself in the first few days of the new year, when it was time to have her 2016 retreat, she heard the voice of the Holy Spirit telling her to fast for 21 days, she complained that she have so many projects to handle, Endorsements and movies to shoot within that period, and the Lord extended it to a 30 days fast due to her complaints. During this fasting period, The Lord revealed to her, how she will be a voice for him all over the world, how people’s attention will be channeled from her image on Nollywood to The Gospel.

She said one of the things God warned her on, was her dressing and appearance. She said that Putting on Makeup, wearing Jewelry and putting on Trouser as a Lady is wrong, she said that she has been preaching to colleagues in Nollywood, but God told her to put off her Dreads, to stop wearing Jewelries and Trousers, that she could have gone to Hell, if she died December 31, 2015 despite the preaching she’s been doing, just because of her appearance.

When asked about her Nollywood life, Patience Ozokwor narrated that the Holy Spirit has not specifically directed her to quit or to not. She said that she has not shot any movie since that encounter in January, that she used to get an average of 1.5 Million Naira weekly, but that God has miraculously been providing her daily bread.

She warned that it will be harder for colleagues in the movie industry, with permanent tattoos and eyebrows when they eventually encounter Christ. She also said that she should stop being referred to as Mama G, as that name was for when she was in the world.”
