By Ahmed Boulor

Fiery Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwor has reportedly become born again and has cut off her dreadlocks, jettisoned make-up and also stopped wearing trouser.

The actress who now stages personal retreats herself said at the beginning of 2016, she heard the voice of the Holy Spirit telling her to fast for 21 days which later extended to a 30 days.

Patience who was speaking when cornered recently, said God revealed to her while fasting that she was going to be a tool to spread His word and she should use her image to influence people to listen to the word of God and her appearance should also be decent.

“It is wrong for ladies to put on makeup, wear jewellery and put on trousers. I have been preaching to my colleagues in Nollywood. God told me to cut off my dreadlocks, stop wearing jewellery and trousers.” She said in an interview.

The actress who receives an average of N1.5 million weekly also revealed that she has stayed away from movie locations since her encounter in January but God has been miraculously taking care of her by providing her with daily bread.
