Veteran actress Patience Ozokwo, popularly known as Mama G, recently shared a heartwarming video of her meeting with former First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan.
The video, shared on her Instagram on Sunday, shows Ozokwo kneeling to greet Jonathan as she approached. The two women then shared a warm embrace.
In her caption, Ozokwo stated how she loved Jonathan. “Dame Patience Jonathan. You are loved. Thank you,” she wrote.
The gesture has stirred mixed reactions online, with some netizens commenting on the age difference between the two women.
Sharing her opinion, @ochenaya4real wrote, “The only Nigeria first lady that is loved. When you see Mama P, you see favour in person. First Lady by God’s grace.
Also reacting, @samuelsunking said, “I don’t why someone scallywag are concerned on how she chooses to bend to greet her. Firstly, she is her elder secondary, she is her fellow Igbo sister, so the phrase that ‘igbos does bend for any one’ doesn’t work here. P.S. She genuflected / kneeled with one kneel not bowing. T for thanks.
Commenting on her post, @isi_lisa wrote, “But mama G senior this woman well well na. Mama G is 66; former First Lady is 58.”
“She is just giving her honour,” #lenycute01 replied, while #gochy_glam added, “She was once a First Lady, isn’t that enough?”
@lumiwizzo also praised Jonathan’s humility, noting, “What a humble first lady she returned the respect to you by standing up to receive you.”
