Ngozi Nwosu, the ace Nollywood actress, has revealed that she can “never render” free services to her home state, Abia.
In an interview with Nollywood on Radio, the 61-year-old film star said the Abia state government’s “lack of support” during her health crisis in 2012 prompted her decision.
Nwosu, who had battled a kidney-related ailment, said she “made a pact” that the state would have to compensate her generously for any future services.
“I have personally said it that there is nothing my state will call me for that I would go for free,” she said.
“They would pay through their nose for me to be there. I am from Arochukwu local government, Abia state.”
She further revealed she got the help of the Lagos government through a lady who referred to her as her “favorite actress”.
“It was the fame I had through the roles I played in series then that helped me when I needed help,” she added.
“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.”
In 2022, the actress revealed how the rumours about her condition made her fall into depression.
Nwosu began her acting career in Yoruba-language films, before making her home-video debut in ‘Living in Bondage,’ an Igbo-language film considered to begin the video film era of Cinema of Nigeria.
