Why I converted to Islam – Mercy Aigbe

Mercy Aigbe, a Nollywood actress, has finally spoken out about why she abandoned Christianity in favour of Islam.

According to report, the actress converted to Islam after marrying filmmaker Kazeem Adeoti in 2022.

In a recent TVC interview, Aigbe stated that she converted to Islam out of love for her spouse.

Aigbe, who is now known as Hajiah Amminah, stated that her husband’s love is sufficient for her and his first wife to share.

She said: “I love my husband so much. I don’t think any woman would have gone through what I went through if it wasn’t for love. I didn’t have to. I meant I’m comfortable; I have kids. So, it is because of love that I remarried.

“I’m such a lover girl. I’m very emotional. I love love. I just decided on my own to convert to Islam because I love my [Muslim] husband so much. When it comes to religion, I’m a very liberal person. I love my husband so much and he is a very religious person. So, I just felt that after COVID-19, I was already struggling with going to church so I just decided to follow my husband’s religion.

“Converting to Islam made our bond tighter and sweeter. And it’s exciting for me because I’m learning the religion [Islam] and at the end of the day, we are serving one God.”

Kanyidaily recalls that Mercy Aigbe was overwhelmed by love and gifts after returning from Mecca.
