Let’s be honest, these two women were bound to fight. It was just a matter of time and reason.
Jonathan’s recent bid for the presidency is the brawl between the singer, broadcaster, actor and Director General, National Women Centre, Onyeka Onwenu and popular actor, Patience Ozokwor. I honestly thought it would be a case of who is the queen of Nollywood but i guess im giving too much credit.
Here is the story according
to Thisday. Onwenu had made it her business to have a majority of the creative population in Nigeria channel their request to see Jonathan and/or participate in his campaign.
Onwenu and Ozokwor allegedly openly abused themselves and called each other names. It took the intervention of Dame Patience Jonathan to calm the fighting women. At least her ‘peaceful status’ came into relevant play.
They simply respected her but have continued to trade tirade at every opportunity.

For an actor or musician to go around Onwenu to see Jonathan,
his/her connection in Aso Rock Villa had to be very strong. So Onyeka
was allegedly miffed when Ozokwor managed to get attention from Aso Rock
on her steam.
Try as she did to issue an order that Ozokwor should revert to her,
it just didn’t work. Ozokwor must have summoned extraneous powers from
the ‘evil’ role she frequently plays in Nollywood to keep Onyeka off her
track.
The fracas between the two Igbo women was not unconnected with who
should control disbursement of the Jonathan campaign fund to a group of
certain artistes. At one of the meetings, the centre just couldn’t hold
any more and things fell apart.Onwenu and Ozokwor allegedly openly abused themselves and called each other names. It took the intervention of Dame Patience Jonathan to calm the fighting women. At least her ‘peaceful status’ came into relevant play.
