Career

Emanuella made her foray into comedy at the age of five. She was on a family holiday and met with Angel. He needed some children for his comedy shoot, and called a few children he knew for the audition, but they couldn't memorize their lines and he then turned to Emanuella. Despite the eighteen hour long video shoot, a stunt he pulled to test the endurance of the kids, Emanuella did well. After her selection, Angel had to convince her parents to let her become a part of the Mark Angel Comedy team and got their approval.[1] She became well known after the comedy skit "This is Not My Real Face Oh", in which she was making jokes about a headmistress to her fellow students without knowing the student was the child of the headmistress.[2] This short skit was featured on CNN's Facebook page.[3] On 2 April, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, Emanuella, Success, and Regina Daniels were featured in a skit by Ofego titled "Lockdown" on his YouTube channel using archive footage.[4]

Awards and Recognitions

In 2018, Emanuella was invited to the National Assembly by Senate President Bukola Saraki on account of her landing a role in a Disney film.[5][6] She made the announcement of her role in the Disney film on her Instagram handle.[7] In 2016, Emanuella won the award for Top Subscribed Creator from YouTube at the inaugural edition of the Sub-Saharan African YouTube Awards. She also won the Best New Comedienne & Princess of Comedy awards at the Afro-Australia Music & Movie Awards (AAMMA).[8][9] She was hosted by CNN in November 2016. In 2015, she won the G-Influence Niger Delta Special Talent Award.[10]

Personal life

Emanuella is from Imo State in eastern Nigeria. She was born in Port Harcourt in Rivers State.[11] There have been controversies on her relationship with Mark Angel, as it has been said in different circles that she is his niece and some say they are cousins. Eze Chidinma of Buzz Nigeria in an article stated that Emmanuella is niece to Angel.[12] Pulse Nigeria also stated that Angel is an uncle to Emmanuella.[13] On the other hand, George Ibenegbu of Legit.ng stated that both are cousins.[14] Rachael Odusanya in a later publication on legit.ng stated that they are not related.[15]
