The Reason Behind My Conversion to Islam – Mercy Aigbe
Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has now revealed the reason behind her switch from Christianity to Islam. The actress, who embraced Islam after marrying filmmaker Kazeem Adeoti in 2022, shared in a recent interview with TVC that her decision was driven by her love for her husband.
Aigbe, now recognized as Hajiah Amminah, expressed that her husband's love is sufficient for both her and his first wife to coexist. She explained, "I have a deep love for my husband. I wouldn't have endured what I did if it weren't for love. It wasn't a necessity. I am content and have children. Therefore, it is the power of love that led me to remarry."
"I'm a true lover at heart. I'm deeply emotional and have a great affection for love. The decision to convert to Islam was entirely my own, driven by my profound love for my [Muslim] husband. In matters of religion, I hold a very open-minded perspective. My husband is someone I deeply love, and he is devoutly religious. So, after grappling with attending church post-COVID-19, I chose to align with my husband's faith.
"Embracing Islam has strengthened and enriched our bond. It's an exciting journey for me as I am immersed in learning the religion [Islam], and in the end, we worship the same God."
