Unable to break an eight-year addiction to masturbation and pornography, he discovers there’s much more to watching Emmanuel TV.

After eight years of the habit, Njoku Franklyn Ikechukwu had become so entrapped, he described himself as a “master” masturbator. The immoral pastime began in the year 2008. Highly charged with pornographic materials, he began to relieve himself everywhere.

“There was no place I couldn’t masturbate, even in the toilet of a church or at my place of work at night when everybody has gone to bed (I work in a hotel). My fiancee came to live with me and we had a baby girl together. Yet, I couldn’t stop masturbating. Even when she’s in the bedroom at night, I would sneak into the sitting room and indulge.”

Njoku watched pornographic videos with as much delight as he would see blockbusters movies. Every effort he made to kick the filthy way of life out of the door always ended in futility.

“If I delete the videos from my cell phone and stop masturbating for a week or two, I would helplessly download the clips from the Internet all over again and continue,” said the Lagos State, Nigeria, resident.

The almost decade-long inclination took a heavy toll on him. Besides “inactivity in bed”, he experienced “stagnation, limitation in progress and near-success syndrome.” Life was also a sack full of “failures and disappointment.”

In August 2016, however, Emmanuel TV entered Njoku’s house; he got the decoder and installed the channel.

It proved a turning point in his life. “I started watching Emmanuel TV in August last year,” he said. And to God’s glory, from that time up till now – SEVEN MONTHS! – there has been nothing like masturbation, NOT EVEN AN URGE!”
