6 Actresses You Didn't Know Are Older Than Patience Ozokwo
It was just last year that Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwo turned 63 years old and gave us this wonderful quote: When did old age stop being a blessing? People do all manner of stuff to cover up aging – good for them! I own my age and experience with my full chest and count it an enormous blessing. Comments like ‘she now looks so old’, ‘she don old suddenly’, ‘she don old finish’, ‘Ahaa Mama what happened’, make me smile. Aging is not unattractive or undesirable. Life is fleeting.

That meant of course that movie goers were trepidatious about going back into the cinema. The fear from the public, lockdowns, and restrictions made creating and promoting movies in 2021 quite the arduous task but now, with the year coming to an end, we're happy to return that the movies still did quite well this year and it is in fact NOT the end of cinema as we know it.

My Last Conversation With Sam Obiagor - Patience Ozokwo
2021 has been a very weird year. In terms of the pandemic, it has been very up and down. At some points, it looks like we're coming out of the bleak days and then suddenly, things look grim again.
