Veteran Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu, has declared that she will not offer free services to her home state of Abia, citing a lack of support during her health struggles.
In a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, the 61-year-old actress recounted how the Abia state government neglected her during a serious health crisis in 2012, which led her to this firm decision.
Nwosu, who faced a kidney-related illness, stated that she has since made a commitment that any future services would require substantial compensation from the state.
“I have personally said it that there is nothing my state will call me for that I would go for free.
“They would pay through their nose for me to be there. I am from Arochukwu local government, Abia state,” she stated.
Nwosu also shared that during her health struggles, she received vital assistance from the Lagos state government, thanks to a woman who referred to her as her “favourite actress.”
“It was the fame I had through the roles I played in series then that helped me when I needed help.
“The person who called the Lagos state government did it because I was her favorite actor. So when she heard I was down she called the government to save my live because she loves me,” she added.
The actress began her career in Yoruba films and gained widespread recognition with her role in ‘Living in Bondage.’
