Religion they say is the opium of the masses. To some it is belief while to others it is faith.
While some thinks everyone worships the same God and no path is wrong, others might think there is the true path that leads to God and all must take that part.
This struggle does not leave out celebrities as they also have their own share of the religion issues. Here is a list of prominent Nigerian Celebrities who changed from being Christians to Muslims for various reasons.
1. Vivian Metchie
This is quite surprising considering the religious background of this woman. Having a Catholic father and a deeper life member mother, she also got married to a devoted Christian who attends RCCG denomination. It was quite shocking that she changed her name to Fareedah as she neglects the Christian ways for Islam because she claimed to understand the Qur’an better.
2. Liz Da Silva
