Nollywood actress Ekene Umenwa has opened up about her spiritual journey in the film industry, sharing how the gospel track “No Turning Back” by Lawrence Oyor and Gaise Baba deeply resonated with her and many others in Nigeria’s Christian community.
In a video posted on her Instagram page, Umenwa was seen dancing joyfully to the viral worship anthem, reflecting on the early challenges she faced when she began her acting career. According to her, there was a time she was pressured to set aside her Christian values in order to find success in Nollywood.
“I turned to Jesus,” she wrote in the post, “and He told me to stay focused and not be distracted.”
The actress expressed gratitude for staying rooted in her faith, attributing her achievements in the industry to divine grace. She also praised the growing number of entertainers who are now boldly expressing their Christian beliefs.
In the caption accompanying the video, Umenwa recalled:
“When I came to Nollywood years ago, I was told by some folks drop this your Jesus and Mary and move with the flow so you can make it.
Me: Chimo, is that so? Never have I run to my father.
Jesus: I am with you, move, they will join us, just concentrate and don’t look back, you will be distracted.”
She added, “Today, everyone now talks about Jesus and Mother Mary boldly. I am so happy that God never failed his own. He took me to the Top and made me an example so his lost sons and daughters can believe. Jesus Igwe.”
Umenwa’s post has since drawn attention online, with many fans and fellow believers commending her for remaining steadfast and using her platform to inspire others through faith.
