Biography
She lost her husband a few years ago to a terminal disease.
Although she lost her husband, Ozokwo was full of joy and gratitude to God for her achievements in the Nigerian entertainment world. The actress recalled her days as a teacher, broadcaster and owner of a fashion institute before she went into acting by accident or better still, as fate would have it.
“Right now I am a widow and I have three biological children and I have adopted one because I needed more children especially when my husband passed on.
She is a proud and caring mother of four, two sons, one daughter and she also adopted another child after her husband died. Ozokwo's first son is an engineer while the last is a footballer with Rangers International of Enugu.
“Patience is different from Mai Azuka you know (from her various roles on Nigerian movies). She is hard working. I do so many things in life. I was once a radio announcer. I am also a fashion designer.
“I love entertainment and that is why I do music, acting and designing.”
She also spoke about her experience in Zimbabwe. "Zimbabwe is a beautiful country with a lot of potential to be harnessed, I have also come here to harness that myself.
“My stay here has been quite an experience. I was taken to Victoria Falls and I saw some elephants there.”
Patience's daughter Chioma Ozokwo got married in Enugu in March 2010.
