We spend all our money trying to look good for the cameras – Patience Ozokwor Details Reason Actors resort to ‘begging’ When Sick

Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor recently explained why some of her colleagues turn to social media for financial support during health challenges.

Patience Ozokwor explained that even though fellow actors earn decently during their active years, the financial struggles some face during health crises are a result of the expensive nature of maintaining a celebrity lifestyle.

In a recent interview, the acclaimed actress attributed the trend of actors seeking financial assistance to extravagant spending and the expectation to uphold a lavish lifestyle, especially on the red carpet.

She highlighted the misconception that actresses are wealthy based on their public appearances, contributing to a lack of support when they encounter financial difficulties.

This is why, when facing illness, actors often bear the burden alone, and when their resources are depleted, they resort to seeking assistance on social media.

Addressing the motivation behind actors seeking help, Patience Ozokwor explained that many exhaust their life savings on medical expenses, hopeful for recovery. However, when their financial means are depleted, they turn to public appeals for assistance.

Ozokwor's comments follow instances where actors have faced criticism for seeking financial support during challenging times. Notably, actor John Okafor, also known as Mr. Ibu, recently garnered attention for seeking financial help due to his ailing health.
