Speaking from a podium before an audience of fellow entertainers and supporters, she described Nigeria as a nation that has squandered extraordinary potential.
"I see this country as a spoiled child," Ozokwo declared. "There is nothing God did not provide for this nation. Other nations of the world, if they have one quarter of what God has given to us, they will be better than what they are today."
Mama G on Nigeria's wasted potential
The veteran actress argued that the country's failure stems not from a lack of resources but from a culture of entrenched privilege, where a powerful few have hoarded wealth across generations at the expense of ordinary Nigerians.
"Some people in this country have laid up for themselves for their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren," she said, her tone growing sharper as she listed the generational wealth that has been accumulated while the majority struggle.
Ozokwo then turned her message directly to her fellow entertainers in the room, urging them to recognise what they bring to the table.
"Celebrities here, what we have, we have our faces. We have our integrity," she said, framing celebrity endorsement not as a vanity exercise but as a civic responsibility.

Ozokwo's appearance at the rally signals a deliberate decision to use her platform and public standing in service of political mobilisation, urging Nigerians to reckon with their shared future in a country she insists belongs to everyone.
