MERCY AIGBE CONVERTS TO ISLAM, GETS NEW NAME
Mercy Aigbe, the actress, last week announced her conversion to Islam. She has also adopted a new name for herself.
The movie star spoke about her new faith at a Ramadan lecture and special prayer hosted by Kazeem Adeoti, her husband.
Mercy provoked criticism in January last year after she unveiled Kazeem as her husband.
Kazeem’s first wife accused her of snatching her husband.
But Kazeem defended his decision to marry a second wife, adding that Islam permits polygamy as long as he can take care of his wives and does not maltreat them.
He also said he was left with no choice but to embrace polygamy after his first wife relocated permanently to the United States.
FOLUKE DARAMOLA OPENS UP ON FIRST MARRIAGE
Foluke Daramola, the actress, opened up about how her first marriage crashed.
The film star revealed she lost her virginity through rape and since then lost interest in sex.
The actress said her first husband didn’t bother and wanted sexual intercourse every time.
Foluke said she had seen the red flags before her marriage but ignored them because she wanted to get married due to peer pressure.
In 2005, she got married to Tunde Sobowale but their marriage crashed after three years.
The actress later got married to Kayode Salako in 2013. Their union is blessed with two children.
