IN a recent interview, Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe opened up on why she converted from Christianity to Islam, noting that her admiration for her husband, Kazim Adeoti, and her love for him made it easy for her to change her religion.
She said: "I love my husband so very much; I'm such a lover girl, and I'm very emotional, and I love love. I'm a 45-year-old woman, and I am responsible for my actions and decisions, so my family didn't say much. 
“The thing is, when it comes to religion, I am a very liberal person, and I love my husband. It's all exciting for me because I am learning the religion and everything, so it's exciting. But at the end of the day, we all serve one God."
Recall that in April 2023, the actress stunned her fans on social media by announcing her conversion right before Ramadan began, revealing her name as Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti.
On that day, she expressed her joy, saying, "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.”
Following her announcement, she began to adjust to the changes, though she confessed that she struggled with waking up early to eat before fasting. Then in June, she followed her husband on a religious pilgrimage to Mecca.
