Lately, it has almost become a trend for Nigerian actresses to abandon the religion they grew up with and switch to another one. Islam seems to be the final destination for most of these thespians and they even organize trips for themselves as a group on pilgrimages to the Holy Land of Mecca.

1. Moji Olaiya

Moji was born to Christian parents, her father being the legendary Nigerian singer Victor Olaiya. She was brought up in Christian ways although her mother was a Muslim before converting to Christianity. She ended converting to Islam after suffering a few marital woes. Moji has been married twice and both marriages came to a halt. The single mother of one states that Islam gives her more power and inner calm.

In one of her interviews, she confessed,“Honestly, Islam is a peaceful religion. The aspect I love most is that you don’t need any pastor to get closer to God. You don’t really need anybody to pray for you. You can always pray on your own and Almighty Allah will answer your prayer without any intermediary. I have been doing that since I became a Muslim and it has always worked for me.”

2. Vivian Metchie

Nollywood star, Vivian was born to Catholic father and a Deeper Life Mother. She married a man who was a member of the Redeemed Church but the marriage eventually failed leaving her with four children.

According to her, she switched religions because at a point in time, she got confused as various Christian churches had something bad to say about one another. Explaining her actions, the screen diva said, “It is a personal decision. I understand the Koran more than the Bible… I was probably looking for peace. Yeah! That was what I was looking for and I found it in the Koran.” Vivian adopted the name Fareedah as her muslim name and according to her, her parents were supportive of her decision to switch religions.

3. Liz Da Silva

Popular actress, Liz Da Silva was known to be a Christian up until the time she allegedly had a child for former NURTW Oshodi boss, Musiliu Akinsanya better known as MC Oluomo. When things did not work out between them, she married a Muslim man named Olaoye. Because of the birth of her son, Roheem and her new family, Liz became a Muslim and adopted the name Aishat.

“In case you want to know I have a good relationship with my baby’s father and that is why I had to convert to Muslim and got a new name Aishat before the baby was named. I am a Christian, but I had to convert to Islam because of my baby,” Liz Da Silva revealed in an interview.

4. Lizzy Anjorin

Lizzy, real name Elizabeth Anjorin is a household name as far as Nollywood is concerned. She was brought up in a Christian family however she found solace in Islam. In 2013, she came out to state categorically that she is a Muslim and soon after her revelation, she jetted off to Mecca for Hajj.

Addressing her faith to critics, Lizzy explained that she has always had ties to the Muslim world judging from the fact that her mother is a Muslim. She once said in an interview, “Although my name is Elizabeth, which is the Christian name my dad gave me because he was a Christian. Then, I also have a Muslim name, Aishat, given to me by my mother, who was a Muslim. Also, some from my mother’s family members also named me Sekinat. Even my daughter’s name is Rufaidat. So, I grew with the two religions.”

She added, “Islam has been in me for long. I only kept it to myself. It is my private life.” However, certain unconfirmed sources suggest that her conversion happened after a relationship with a certain Alhaji in Lagos.

5. Laide Bakare

Archbishop88:
If u aren't from Ekiti? Shift space abegi.

Who else? if buhari would only do such for his almajiris instead of ruga settlements the future of nigeria will be safe in hands of fulanis. Though ekiti people make neat trouble with their education check Fayose, Falana, Falz, Sam Aluko ...

So, this pastor is a criminal awaiting judgment in the court of women? Mene, Mene, Tekel, Fatoyinbo?

Make he change the name to Commonwealth Satan Assembly na. Since satanists claim they are better than him.

morikee:
Have this rape allegation proven in a competent court of law. Neymar come to my mind

Why would ladies take pleasure LYING against this pastorpreneur? Why always him?

Kogi monarchs have endorsed him for another term. The kings have spoken.

The competence of these EFCC and their counsels is in doubt.

The pastor is saved but his dick?

Pearlyakin:
Osus will infest this thread now, just wait and see

You mean?

Doesn't matter so far the smoke covered Arsenal during the Europa final.

Jehovah Witnesses' toy.

Abdulgaffar22:
Please read the first sentence of my Post. The write-up is only meant for those who have already believed in one and only God.

I like to follow a God that I can believe and have no fear of sword or bomb. It doesn't matter how many they are. Those claiming to serve one God are like cancer to humanity in all their doctrine and practices. One would even think this one God is Satan himself: merciless and blood thirsty demon, of unequalled wickedness of by his slaves

House of a judge or a jeweller?

Correct phone, get bro.

Nokia

I have my fears: if government cannot manage water and oil well is it cannabis? seeing mad fellows on ondo streets soon.

Amujale:
You are completely and utterly wrong.


Apart from the fact that science originates from Africa,
in the modern age, there are more African inventors than there are European and Asian combined.

Among blacks or Egyptian Arabs? Don't deceive yourself.

Amujale:
There are over 1000 black scientist both past and present that are deserving to be granted the prestigious Nobel Prize.

Mention 10 of them. Black's do not make sense without white contribution. Nothing of global appreciation has ever come from the black race. I doubt the claim of the OP. Our own Emagwuali being celebrated a couple of years ago turned out to be a scam . Let us be receiving Nobel prize for peace . Apart from Arabs and Islamic world, black communities have won prizes in violence, insecurity and abject poverty. Don't defend mediocrity. Why are not Israelis, Chinese, German.... not discriminated? If you are excellent nothing can discriminate you. Blacks hate excellence, this shows all over Africa the cradle of all African descent. Please don't start e - war o dear reader. Let this observation stir up something good in you.p

aolawale025:
That's good
Education is a long term solution to poverty and even insecurity

Which, Western or Islamic indoctrination?

We in religions are victims of this. The funny thing is that every religious group / denomination is defending it's own bias and territory claiming they each is the only correct path to God. Even Satanists claim this.[size=8pt][/size]

If true, ethnic cleansing loading. God save Nigeria!

Christianity is not but religion that of Jesus Christ the son of God. It came through the Western people. The missionaries rode the horse of the colonial masters whose passionn was to expand their expand their empires. The colonial masters came by the ambition of kings or emperors while the church came by some groups who saw the reason to take the good news to the unreached. So, when people say the church is a Western religion, is Israel a Western state,? The church reached the West by a different human traffic than ours. The colonial masters imposed their culture on is which are not necessarily church tenets.e.g. marriage from courts was / is still more recognised than church's till now by the nations from which the missionaries came from.

Pay it with the formula approved in your local church.

I don't believe NB that witches also operate in Europe as in black Africa.

Please tell GSM to learn from Ajimobi: he has firsthand experience of what brought him down.

Thank God, May it not happen to him.
