‎Veteran Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwor, has revealed that she once evicted her son from home because she wanted him to be useful to himself in the future.

‎

‎Ozokwor, popularly known as Mama G, while speaking in a recent interview with media personality, Femi Baba, maintained that it is wrong for parents to completely shield their children from hardship and hard work.

‎

‎According to her, the fastest way to ruin a child’s life is by preventing them from experiencing hardship or working hard.

‎

‎She recalled that she once evicted her son from home, so he could go out and make a living for himself.

‎

‎She said, “The fastest way to ruin a child’s life is to say you don’t want them to suffer the way you did.

‎

‎“When you’re gone, they may start fighting over your property. I told my son, ‘My house isn’t yours. Go and work for your own.’”

‎

‎Ozokwor explained that because she raised her children with discipline and hard work, they were doing well.

‎

‎The movie icon urged parents not to deny their children the experience of struggle and hard work because of their love for them.
