Nollywood actress Vivian Metchie, who has
recently divorced, says she recently adopted
the Islamic faith because she found the
Christian faith too confusing.
Commenting on her choice to Yes! magazine,
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.”
Vivian, the mother of 4, who has adopted
Fareedah as her muslim name, explains that
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.
