Nollywood actor Benson Okonkwo set to wed

For those who don't know Benson, the easiest way to remember him is this; he was one of the actors who played a gay role in Nollywood's first soft porn gay movie - Pregnant Hawker. Find it HERE. Benson has since said he's not gay and has actually been in a long term relationship with the woman he's planning to marry. Benson and Emelda Emells (pictured above) have been dating for over 8 years and have picked a December wedding date.

Benson recently told Vanguard that despite playing a gay role and playing well, he is not gay!

"I am not bi-sexual, neither am I homosexual. I have dated my girl for close to eight years now. So far so good. I plan to take her to the altar someday. Besides I am from a Christian home. I wasn't taught a habit like that by my family. And looking for money can not push me to do that
