Call it a midnight drama on AMAA stage, you
may not be wrong. Patience Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, thought
she was on a movie set last Saturday as she graced the just concluded
10th edition of the AMAAs.
Mid way into the awards night, Patience did
the unexpected. While one-time MTN Project Fame reality show winner,
Timi Dakolo was performing his celebrative song, “Great Nation”, Ozokwor
like every other guest that thronged the main auditorium of the newly
refurbished Gabriel Okara’s Cultural Centre, Yenagoa venue of the
glamorous event was moved with the lyrics of the song.
Suddenly, out of excitement, the Iron Lady of
Nollywood climbed the stage and kissed Dakolo’s hand to the
bewilderment of the cheering crowd. She did the same thing when
comedian Funny Bone performed on stage.
But it was Peace Aniyam-Osigwe’s glowing
tribute to the late Amaka Igwe who was a member of AMAA Jury till her
death that Ozokwor showed how emotional she could be. Unable to control
her emotions, the no-nonsense actress who stormed the event venue with
her last son, cried profusely like a baby, leaving everyone wondering
whether AMAA stage has turned into another movie set.
In a twinkle of an eye, Ozokwor was up and
about, as if nothing happened. She won the Best supporting Actress award
which she dedicated to her late husband.
