VETERAN Nollywood actress, Patience Ozokwo, has told fans that she is not afraid of looking old while noting that old age is a blessing.
The 63-year-old award-winning actress took to her verified Instagram page to school fans who feel like aging is undesirable.
In a lengthy post, she wrote:
"When did old age stop being a blessing? People do all manner of stuff to cover up aging - good for them! I own my age and experience with my full chest and count it an enormous blessing. Comments like:
'She now looks so old
She don old suddenly
She don old finish
Ahaa Mama what happened' make me smile. Aging is not unattractive or undesirable. Life is fleeting. Enjoy the years you've been blessed with fully. I am not afraid to look/be old. I am not worried about being in any exclusive league or being validated by people's opinions. Respect the elderly"
Patience Ozokwo was among the top 100 Nigerians, honoured by the government to celebrate the amalgamation of the northern and southern protectorates in the year 2014.
