Why I Rejected ‘Liz Benson Of Enugu’ Tag – Patience Ozokwor

The thespian said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as “Liz Benson of Enugu” but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.

She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.

Ozokwor spoke in a recent interview with Nwafo TV.
“I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started [my acting career] and people started recognising this woman from Enugu.
“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, ‘You’re the Liz Benson’ of Enugu.’
