Recently divorced Nollywood actress Vivian Metchie says she recently
adopted the Islamic faith because she found the Christian faith too
confusing. Speaking with Yes! magazine on her conversion, Ms Metchie
said it was a personal decision she had to take...
"Yeah it is
personal. I understand the Koran more than the bible. All of a sudden,
the Christian confusion was driving me nuts. My dad was catholic, my mum
was Deeper Life, I married someone in the Redeemed Church and then all
of a sudden, the few religions had something bad to say about each
other. I just couldn't take it anymore. A friend of mine who is close to
me said that once you are grounded on the word, it wont be confusing.
Unfortunately, maybe I wasn't grounded in the word, but I still could
see what I see. But in my quest and study and research, I don't know: I
was probably looking for peace. Yeah! That was what I was looking for
and I found it in the Koran".
The mother of 4 who has adopted
Fareedah as her muslim name says her decision was well received and
respected by her dad who has since stopped calling her by her native
name and now calls her Fareedah.
