Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has advised parents and intending parents to always take good care of themselves, for the sake of their children.

The prominent actress, took to her Instagram page @ritaedochie to offer the advice. She said it is not easy for most children to sustain after the demise of their parents.

According to her, no one can take good care of children or perform the guardian role like their biological parents do.

in her words: “For the sake of your children, take good care of yourselves, because if you die and leave them behind, you have simply exposed them to the vultures.

“No one can ever be a better shepherd to them except you. As parents, married or single, no one can adequately take care of your kids in your absence. You are the only person who can do that, you are the only one who can read their minds, pay attention to them, understand them and love them to the core.

“My prayer for you is that you will live so long for your children and not die to leave them behind. If you think that when you give up on life and die, that there are those that would take care of your kids, then it is a big lie. May God guide and preserve your lives, so as to live long for your children,” she added.

Edochie who is currently the ‘Women Leader of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN)’, began her acting career in the 1990s.

She has featured in more than 50 Nollywood movies, which includes ‘Shining Light’, ‘Only Yesterday’, ‘August Meeting’, ‘Breaking Rules’, ‘My Lost Love’, ‘Bloodline’, ‘In My Kingdom’, ‘Regret to Love’, ‘Pain and Glory’, among others.

Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.

The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.

She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.

Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”

“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”

“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”

“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’

“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”

“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
