Mercy Aigbe Officially Converts To Islam, Reveals Her Muslim Name

Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has officially confirmed her conversion to Islam.

Naija News recalled that Aigbe stirred reactions last year after she shared a video of her secret wedding with her newfound love and movie producer, Kazim Adeoti.

The award-winning actress tied the knot with Kazim in a private ceremony on December 31st 2021 but kept it cool until she shared the video on her Instagram page with the caption “Throwback to a beautiful day. Blessed and Grateful.”

Despite their marriage, Aigbe had maintained her birthname until the last weekend when she confirmed during an interview that she now has an Islamic name.

Naija News understands that Aigbe revealed at a Ramadan lecture and special prayers hosted by herself and her husband, Kazeem Adeoti, that she now goes by the name Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti.

In a now-viral video on social media, the actress introduced herself in her new faith saying: “Insha Allah, My new name is Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti. Meenah with the H.”

The viral interview done at the Ramadan lecture, which was attended by many notable characters on Saturday, has since generated a barrage of reactions on social media.
