"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
