Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has narrated a personality experience on how she was given a resounding slap over a role she played in a movie.
The revelation was made during an interview on the Talk to B podcast with her younger colleague, Biola Bayo.
Ngozi Nwosu recounted the incident, which occurred at Lawanson bus stop when she was still struggling financially.
Ngozi Nwosu said she was left dazed and shocked, and the encounter made her more cautious and aware of her surroundings. In the actress’s words:
“I have so many unforgettable experiences, is it about life or in this industry? I’ll share a story from when I just started newly. I had the experience at Lawanson bus stop precisely, that time I was going to catch a bus; you know, I had no money at that time so I was going to get a bus, and a guy walked up to me and the next thing he did was to give me a dirty slap.
“I won’t lie o I was dazed, and I was wondering, ‘What did I do to deserve this one?’ He started screaming, You’re a wicked woman!! For what you did to lagbaja, you are a killer.”
“In a movie?” Biola, the host, asked in shock.
“Yes o,” she confirmed and continued:
“because he watched me being mean to someone in a movie. He was saying, ‘Don’t worry, I will tell my wife that I have retaliated.’ People around were asking him if he was okay and why he would slap a woman that way. He was adamant o, saying, I’m too wicked.”
Nwosu said:
“That is an experience I will never forget and it made me walk and watch my back. I became very cautious of where I would go. After that, I became a taxi freak.”
