Mercy Aigbe, a popular Nollywood actress, has rechristened herself and converted to Islam.
During the weekend, the actress and her husband, Kazeem Adeoti, hosted a Ramadan lecture for friends, family, and coworkers.
Following the event’s success, the actress was questioned, and she verified her conversion to Islam.
The actress requested Nigerians to call her Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti in the video.
“Insha Allah, My new name is Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti. Meenah with the H. I’m so so so excited. I feel fulfilled actually. This is actually my first Ramadan lecture and then Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam. It’s like gathering people and letting them be aware of what Allah says, so that we can follow the rules that Allah has set. So I’m so happy that people that we called came here,” she said in parts of the video.
