"Why I converted to Islam' - former
actress Vivian Metchie opens up
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.
