Nollywood Actor, Emmanuel Okonkwo also known as Emma Chinedu, who started his acting career from a church, precisely Christ Embassy, has revealed how popular Nigerian porn star, forced him to act in a porn movie, which his pastor wasn't happy about. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Zebra News, when asked how his journey into Nollywood started said; "I started acting in church Christ Embassy as a member of drama. After a while, I was given head of drama department. One day my pastor picked up his microphone and said 'Emmanuel Okonkwo' why not think of commercializing your talent and continued his sermon. I got home it kept ringing bin my ears. And then, I used to think Nollywood is one big building when you go there, you would see good actors like Genevieve, Omotola. I kept asking myself, how do I start?

 "So, one faithful day, I saw an audition poster and call for registration with N3,000. I went to the bank paid, then went for audition in Surulere, Genesis Studio. I got there they started training us, beginning with rehearsals. It wasn't funny because I was still working. Luckily for me, I met one upcoming actress, she kept loading me with audition information." After one month, the movie was shot. I played the role of a corrupt DPO, alongside Uche Iwuji, Vincent Opurum, Afro Candy. The movies was titled Destruction Instinct. It was a job that later caused trouble everywhere. Because Afrocandy bought the master tape, went to USA and added porn to it and it was everywhere and people were really talking about it. My pastor called me and asked why I had to be in such movie, I explained to him what really happened." On whether, his first movie was controversial and shot him to limelight, the father of one refuted and claimed, another movie made him famous; "No it wasn't. It's the least that mentioned my name. It is 'My kids and I, brought me to limelight. It is a movie and series. We just finished season 7 of it. It has ran for more than 3 years. It featured Bolanle Nino, Mary Chukwu, the screen divas - 3 little sisters."
