Onyeka Owenu,Patience Ozokwor fight dirty

Jonathan’s recent bid for the presidency is the brawl

between the singer, broadcaster, actor and Director General,

National Women Centre, Onyeka Onwenu and popular actor,

Patience Ozokwor. According to Thisday,Onwenu had made

it her business to have a majority of the creative population

in Nigeria channel their request to see Jonathan and/or

participate in his campaign.

For an actor or musician to go around Onwenu to see

Jonathan, his/her connection in Aso Rock Villa had to be very

strong. So Onyeka was allegedly miffed when Ozokwor

managed to get attention from Aso Rock on her steam. Try as

she did to issue an order that Ozokwor should revert to her, it

just didn’t work. Ozokwor must have summoned extraneous

powers from the ‘evil’ role she frequently plays in Nollywood

to keep Onyeka off her track.

The fracas between the two Igbo women was not unconnected

with who should control disbursement of the Jonathan

campaign fund to a group of certain artistes. At one of the

meetings, the centre just couldn’t hold any more and things

fell apart. Onwenu and Ozokwor allegedly openly abused

themselves and called each other names. It took the

intervention of Dame Patience Jonathan to calm the fighting

women. They simply respected her but have continued to

trade tirade at every opportunity.
