“I did not remarry after my husband’s demise because my children asked me not to” – Patience Ozokwor

Veteran actress Patience Ozokwor has revealed why she did not remarry years after her husband passed on.

Speaking with Mercy Johnson on her kitchen show, Mercy’s menu, Patience Ozokwor disclosed that her children pleaded with her not to remarry.

Patience disclosed that she got married at age 19 however, she became a widow after she lost her husband following a protracted illness in 2002.

According to her, her children were all grown-ups and assured to be there for her and cater for her. She added that her children said their friends might mock them if she does, hence her decision to stay single after her husband’s death.

In her words;

“I wanted to remarry but my kids had already come of age and they pleaded with me not to marry another man and they promised they will be my husband. They asked me to stay single for them so their friends will not laugh at them that at their age their mum remarried and I understood them, though it was selfish of them I paid a huge sacrifice for them, no sacrifice is too huge for the family.”
