Veteran actress Patience Ozokwor aka Mama G has advised youngsters in the movie industry yet to attain stardom.
Mama G told them to discard the idea that they have to reside in Lagos or Abuja to become stars.
Citing herself as a good example, Ozokwor said one can become a star regardless of the State one resides in.
The 64-year-old thespian made this known during a candle procession night in honour of the late Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and founder of Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), Madam Peace Anyiam-Osigwe, on Tuesday night in Enugu.
The movie star decried the large number of movie stars who kicked off their career in Enugu but relocated to Lagos and Abuja on achieving stardom, forgetting their core.
“For me, I said I am going to stay in Enugu, inside the village and when I go to Lagos, I tell them I am a village woman.
“I stay at Ngwo in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State and God has shown me that you can become a star from anywhere.

“You don’t need to be in Lagos or Abuja. If you are good enough, they will call you even from America”, she stated.
She added that she had received the Member Federal Republic award, and Centenary Award given once every 100 years yet remained unaware of the person that put her name there.
“I did not even know who put my name there, so you can be picked from anywhere.
“That is the statement I wanted to make in this industry but I am happy that I am saying it today,” she added.
