Emma also worked in the secular financial world as a banker. His professional banking experience spans over two decades of meritorious service and innovation until his voluntary retirement to take on pastoral and missionary service for the Gospel of Christ. Emma has a disposition for innovative solution proffering. One of his initiatives was to solve the problem that candidates face in Nigeria while obtaining educational forms from examination bodies like WAEC (West African Examination Council) and JAMB (Joint Admission and Matriculation Board). From this solution to domicile form obtainment in his bank, his organization became a monopolist in this, providing efficient and courteous services to the benefit of both candidates and the examination bodies. In more than a decade, his bank monopolized this serendipitous opportunity to maximize profitability.

Emma lives in Owerri, the Imo State capital in Nigeria. He married as a believer in 1995 and is blessed with a son and two daughters who are twins. He has travelled to to many parts of Nigeria , Africa , India and south East Asia .
