“I changed my religion because I love my husband” — Mercy Aigbe

Mercy Aigbe, a Nollywood actress, revealed in a new statement how much she adores her husband, a feeling that led her to convert from Christianity to Islam.

The popular actress was asked about her love life in an exclusive interview with TVC news correspondents. “I love my husband,” she said without hesitation, blushing as she spoke.

Expanding on her feelings, she expressed, “I love my husband so much. I don’t think any woman would have gone through what I went through if it was not for love because I really didn’t have to. I mean, I’m comfortable, I have glory, I have kids, so it’s love that did that for me.”

Addressing her religious shift from Christianity to Islam, she explained, “It’s because of love that I did what I did, I remarried. I’m a lover girl, very emotional. I love love.”

When asked specifically why she changed her religion, she responded, “I just decided on my own. I’m a 45-year-old woman, responsible for my actions and decisions.”

Further elaborating, she said, “When it comes to religion, I’m very liberal. I love my husband very much; he’s very religious. He prays, and he’s someone I admire greatly, so I just felt that.”

“After COVID, I was struggling with church, so I decided to follow my husband, which strengthened our bond. I am excited to learn his religion, how to pray, and everything.”

Her statement garnered attention from many people, who flooded the comment section to share their views on her decision.
