Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, has revealed why her colleagues ask for public assistance when battling with illnesses.

The Nollywood actress offered the explanation in an interview which clip was shared on Tik Tok by KWS Nigeria.

Ozokwor said: “Some of us (actors) are paid well but before this sickness gets in, nobody helps you because everybody feels you’ve a lot of money. 

“And you’re managing it (sickness) with your family. 

“Also, nobody pays you anymore when you’re on that sick bed. 

“Because it’s when you’re healthy that you can be shooting movies and getting money.
