Patience Ozokwor in The Wedding Party 2. |
A
few days ago I was in a discussion with someone over appearances of people who
claim to be more Christians, or what we call “Born-Again” than others over
their physical outlooks, which they think represents them more as Christians.
In
Nollywood today, a lot of our actors, male and female are giving their lives to
God (supposedly) for various reasons, some for financial stability, as the
movies are no longer coming as they used to, others for genuine reasons, but the
focus here is our darling Mama G, THE GENERAL, who about two years ago
announced that she had turned a new leaf, given her life to God and have had a
compete change of lifestyle, included with a change in her appearance.
Personally
for me as a Christian, I believe very strongly that if I cannot go to Church same
way I appear in my house or at parties, then I am a big time hypocrite. This is
my personal conviction.
So,
when Mummy Patience Ozokwor announced her change of life, lifestyle and
appearance, some of us wondered what would happen to her acting career? It is a
known fact that actors do a lot of make-ups, ornaments, etc, which became of great
concern to me and I was looking forward to seeing her appear with her recent
look in movies without the added packages included with make-up in Nollywood.

The new Patience Ozokwor. |
If
you have given your life to Christ and have denounced your previous ways, which
included the wearing of trousers, make-ups, earrings, necklaces, painting of
nails etc, only for you to get a movie role and you agree to have make-up on
with earrings and necklaces just for the movie, THEN WHAT AND WHO ARE YOU?
Shouldn’t
mummy Patience Ozokwor reject any movie role that would see or have her wear or
adorn those things that will make her appear like a sinner, since the wearing
of earrings, make-up, necklaces and trousers now show you are a sinner in
Christianity?
Why
appear HOLY in real life and appear like a sinner in movies? When exactly did
Christianity get to the level of using appearance to judge who a BORN-AGAIN is?
What exactly does God look at, PHYSICAL APPEARANCE or THE HEART?

The Born-Again appearance of Patience Ozokwor. |
A
few female actors like Mary Ann Apollo, Winifred Ugwu-Iwunze, Eucharia Anunobi,
Liz Benson have come out to proclaim publicly their various calls to serve God
and non among them have had their appearances change, so, why Patience Ozokwor?
Truthfully,
I get completely disappointed when I see and feel hypocrisy amongst people who
are supposed to be our role models, especially when they display total
disregard to stability of character.
Why
appear a different person in real life with your claim of being BORN-AGAIN and
appear like a SINNER (that is, if the wearing of earrings and necklaces makes
one a SINNER) when in movies? What exactly is the point in the first place
denouncing the same SINNERS ORIENTED appearances you go back to whenever you
get a movie script?
I
say NO to double lifestyle.
You’re
either WHITE or BLACK. Once you start being white and black at the same time,
then something is wrong with your calling.
Consequently,
I feel Mummy Patience Ozokwor has not totally gotten the full grasp of what her
calling is in the first place and it is not encouraging to discerning minds who
know what is wrong from what is right.
