When Two Entertainment Moguls Fight: Onwenu & Ozokwor In War Of Words

This is according to ThisDay; 

The
President Goodluck Jonathan 2015 presidential campaign has left a lot of bad
blood in its wake; turning sisters against sisters and causing erstwhile good
friends to be at daggers drawn. One of the irreconcilable differences brought
about by Jonathan’s recent bid for the presidency is the brawl between the
singer, broadcaster, actor and Director General, National Women Centre, Onyeka
Onwenu and popular actor, Patience Ozokwor. Onwenu had made it her business to
have a majority of the creative population in Nigeria channel their request to
see Jonathan and/or participate in his campaign.

For
an actor or musician to go around Onwenu to see Jonathan, his/her connection in
Aso Rock Villa had to be very strong. So Onyeka was allegedly miffed when
Ozokwor managed to get attention from Aso Rock on her steam. Try as she did to
issue an order that Ozokwor should revert to her, it just didn’t work. Ozokwor
must have summoned extraneous powers from the ‘evil’ role she frequently plays
in Nollywood to keep Onyeka off her track.

The
fracas between the two Igbo women was not unconnected with who should control
disbursement of the Jonathan campaign fund to a group of certain artistes. At
one of the meetings, the centre just couldn’t hold any more and things fell
apart. Onwenu and Ozokwor allegedly openly abused themselves and called each
other names. It took the intervention of Dame Patience Jonathan to calm the
fighting women. They simply respected her but have continued to trade tirade at
every opportunity.
