“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,” Umenwa shared.
