Nollywood actress Ekene Umenwa has shared a heartfelt testimony while celebrating the popular gospel song “No Turning Back” by Lawrence Oyor and Gaise Baba, stating that it resonated deeply with Nigeria’s Christian community due to its message of unwavering faith.

She captioned the video: “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
“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”.
