YORUBA ACTRESS LIZ ANJORIN EXPLAINS WHY SHE CONVERTED FROM CHRISTIANITY TO ISLAM

Yoruba actress Liz Anjorin finally gave a reason she converted from Christianity to Islam since she  surprised many of her fans recently when photos of her on Muslim Pilgrimage to Mecca surfaced online and announced she was changing her religion from Christianity to Islam and also dropped the name Elizabeth for Aisha.

Liz tells City People

"It happened in a miraculous way which I have been expecting for long, not that I woke up yesterday and decided to change my religion. By birth, I was half Muslim and half Christian. My father was Christian while my mum was Muslim. Growing up I went to church because of my father. I didn't have a choice at the time but I have always had interest in Islam so immediately my father died I switched over to my mum's religion. It is a religion I love so much. Also Aisha is now my official name though Liz is still my name and I will continue to use the name to do movies.
