Actress, Lola Alao, speaks on switching from Christianity to Islam, addresses critics

Nollywood actress, Lola Alao, addressed our religion switch and also those who have been on her matter since she switched. In an interview with Punch,the actress sends a word out on the fuss.

Attributing the switch to some of her colleagues’, she said: ‘I don’t know what the hullabaloo is all about.  I am from a Muslim background. My father was a Muslim. My grandfather was Muslim. My father was Lasisi Alao. There is no big deal in this. The religion is not new to me. I chose to follow my mother before; and now I decide to go back to Islam, is there a problem?

‘Fathia Balogun was a Christian but she changed. Bukky Wright was also a Christian and she changed to Islam and nobody has tried to crucify them.  How come my own is different? I have not rested.  I cannot sleep again. People are saying different things since they heard the news.’

Lola also dismissed reports of a breakdown in her marriage as she maintains she is happily married to a Muslim husband.
