Moji Olaiya

She has Christian parents, her father is a famous Nigerian singer Victor Olaiya. But due to family troubles, she left her husband and three children and then converted into Islam. She states that Islam gives her more power and inner calm. She commented:

“Honestly, Islam is a peaceful religion. The aspect I love most is that you don’t need any pastor to get closer to God. You don’t really need anybody to pray for you. You can always pray on your own and Almighty Allah will answer your prayer without any intermediary. I have been doing that since I became a Muslim and it has always worked for me.”

Why I Converted To Islam – Actress, Liz Anjorin

She said on her conversion that:

“Actually, my conversion to Islam is not new, it’s only that people were not aware. I have been a Muslim for long. I even have pictures to support that. Although my name is Elizabeth, which is the Christian name my dad gave me because he was a Christian.

Then, I also have a Muslim name, Aishat, given to me by my mother, who was a Muslim. Also, some from my mother’s family members also named me Sekinat. Even my daughter’s name is Rufaidat. So, I grew with the two religions. And being the only child of my parents, I was given so many names, including Egandogo, Omosolape, Akanke. My Badagry name is Yenukunmun, meaning Isoju ota ni nse maa se rere (I will excel in the presence of my enemies).”

Due to religious confusion, Vivian left Christianity and converted to Islam. She confessed that: “It is a personal decision.

Oh really?

if dey wan turn pagan how e take concern me..

The truth is They were all broke and don't have any other options than to marry an Ab0ki

Everybody have a right to believe what they want. People should understand religion is a thing of personal belief. So, nobody should force their personal belief on someone else, even if you marry them.

The goodnews here is none of their family members have threatened to kill them or even called them infidel for converting to Islam. That's how a peaceful religion should be.
And that Moji is making a mistake. You don't need an intermediary to know God in christianity.

.....buhari would have murder them if they were his children and they turn to be become christians.

They have freedom to choose their beliefs.

I wish them well.
