The estranged husband of popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz, has celebrated one year of his return to Islam.

Naija News reports that JJC via his verified Instagram page on Monday narrated his journey converting to Islam, adding that it helped him forge a deeper connection with his creator and brought him immense growth, understanding and spiritual fulfilment.

He began his post saying: “Today marks the anniversary of a significant turning point in my life. Guided by the support of my beloved big brother. On the 10th of July 2022 I embraced Islam and embarked on a path that has brought me immense growth, understanding, and spiritual fulfillment.

“Reverting to Islam has allowed me to forge a deeper connection with my Creator, finding solace and peace in the knowledge that I am part of a greater plan and it has granted me a sense of purpose.”

JJC thanked the Muslim community for welcoming him as one of their own, saying their unwavering support, friendship, and camaraderie have instilled within him a profound sense of belonging and unity.

This journey has not been without its challenges. It has demanded introspection, self-reflection, and a willingness to question my preconceived notions. However, it is through these challenges that I have grown, emerging with a renewed sense of faith and an enriched perspective on life’s intricacies.

“On this anniversary, as I reflect upon the past year, I am humbled by the journey. With every step I have been guided by God’s grace and to Allah I give all the glory. May my faith continue to shine as a beacon of love, compassion and understanding and may it serve as an invitation for others to embark on their own path of self-discovery and spiritual growth. Amin ya rabbi,” he concluded.
