Actress Mercy Aigbe reveals new name after conversion to Islam

Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, has made headlines recently after revealing her new name following her conversion to Islam. In a video from a Ramadan event that she hosted alongside her husband, Kazeem Adeoti, Mercy announced that her new name is Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti, with “Meenah” spelled with an “h.”

This revelation has caused quite a stir among fans and the media, as many were surprised to hear of the actress’s conversion to Islam and subsequent name change. Some have even speculated that her decision may have been influenced by her husband, as he is also a devout Muslim.

Regardless of the reason behind her conversion, it is clear that Mercy Aigbe is proud of her new name and her new identity as a Muslim woman. In fact, during the Ramadan event, she urged Nigerians to address her as Hajia Meenah Mercy Adeoti from now on.

Of course, this is not the first time that Mercy has made headlines for her personal life. In 2022, she married Kazeem Adeoti, sparking rumors and controversy due to allegations of an extramarital affair while she was still married to her ex, Lanre Gentry.

Despite these accusations, Mercy has remained steadfast in her denial of any wrongdoing, stating that she has constantly been lied against despite explaining her situation and telling her side of the story.

With her new name and newfound faith, it will be interesting to see how Mercy’s personal and professional life will evolve in the coming years. One thing is for sure, however – she remains a talented and beloved actress in the Nigerian film industry, and her fans will undoubtedly continue to support her no matter what.
