finds peace in her newly adopted religion has
revealed her Muslim name as Rahimat .
As we speak, she is working on a new Islamic
gospel song being produced by Okiki film.
Here is an excerpt from her new interview
with Encomium
What are you working on right now?
I have a lot of projects I am working on now.
I just finished an Islamic gospel song with
Okiki Films. The job is in collaboration with
Islamic gospel singers, including Ere Asalatu,
Aminat Omotayebi, Rukayat Gawat and
others. Also, I just finished a production
concerning marital problems.
What informed delving into Islamic song?
I guess my marketer just wanted me to try
something else. I felt he just wanted me to
feature in the album. And it was a very nice
and wonderful experience.
But you’re not a Muslim?
I am a Muslim now, Insha Allah.
Are you interpreting a script or it’s real?
I am saying the truth. It’s not a make-believe
thing. I am now a Muslim.
When exactly did you convert to Islam?
I don’t want to go into details now. But right
from birth, I have always had a Muslim
name, Rahimat.
But you were known to be a Christian, how
did you come about Rahimat?
My mom was a Muslim before she converted
to Christianity after marrying my dad. She
was even an Alhaja.
T hat means, you will soon become an
Alhaja also?
Insha Allah.
What are the things that really attracted
you to Islam?
Honestly, Islam is a peaceful religion. The
aspect I love most is that you don’t need any
pastor to get closer to God. You don’t really
need anybody to pray for you. You can
always pray on your own and Almighty Allah
will answer your prayer without any
intermediary. I have been doing that since I
became a Muslim, and it has always worked
for me.
Have you been observing your five
compulsory daily prayers (Al-solat)?
Yes, of course. I thank God for that. I don’t
find it difficult at all.
