"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.
