Nollywood actress Ekene Umenwa has responded to the viral gospel track “No Turning Back” by Lawrence Oyor and Gaise Baba—a collaboration that has deeply moved many in the Nigerian Christian community with its powerful message of unwavering devotion to Christ.
In a video shared on her social media, Umenwa was seen joyfully dancing to the song. She used the moment to reflect on her early experiences in the Nigerian film industry, revealing the pressure she once faced to abandon her faith in order to succeed.
Sharing her story, she wrote:
“When I came to Nollywood years ago, some people told me, ‘Drop this your Jesus and Mary, and go with the flow so you can make it.’
Me: Chimo! Is that so? Never! I ran to my Father.
Jesus: I am with you. Move. They will join us. Just concentrate and don’t look back—you will be distracted.
Today: Everyone now talks about Jesus and Mother Mary boldly. I’m 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!”
The actress praised “No Turning Back” for its spiritual depth and reaffirmed her strong commitment to her Christian faith. She also expressed gratitude to the gospel duo for their impactful message.
“@gaisebaba @lawrenceoyor thank you for this powerful song,” she added.
