For the popular actor, Emeka Okoro , finding love and eventually getting married to the love of his life about a decade ago remains a major turning point in his life . He told
Saturday Beats that shortly after he got married , he gave his life to Christ and has been grateful to God for that decision ever since .
He said,

“ Those times I used to indulge in so many inconsiderate decisions and actions without thinking twice but my marriage was like a turning point in my life because things started changing. Even when I got married, I was still living some kind of lifestyle until one day that I met with God then he started working on me and that was about eight years ago . God had been working on me all through the eight years before he finally released me to return to the movie world . Giving my life to Christ was the major reason that I reduced the way I featured in movies . When God comes into your life , you have to dance to his tune and until he releases you , you cannot really move. This time round , I am listening to the spirit of God. Whatever I do now , I have to listen to the spirit of God .”
Known to be a playboy in the past , the actor opened up that he was a womaniser until God took control of his life .
“ In the past , I was a playboy and I used to do things like a guy who does not really care about life . The normal things men do like chasing women , but now that I am born again, I do not do those things anymore ; whatever I do now I have God at the back of my mind,” he said.
He was quick to add that despite being a born- again Christian, he can still act in romantic movies . “ It does not mean that I cannot take a romantic role in movies. The only difference is that I would do that with a clean mindset. Back in days, whenever I did romantic movies , there was lust in my mind. So after the movie , I could go out to do it physically but now, I would play that part without any iota of feelings and that is what it means to give your life to Christ . Your heart becomes pure ,” Okoro said.
