I never converted to Islam -Liz Anjorin

Liz Anjorin is among the most popular female actors in the Yoruba genres of Nollywood. The Badagry born thespian stunned many people last month when she traveled to Saudi Arabia for the recently held Hajj. Her fans have accused her of dumping Christianity for Islam. In this Interview with Temidayo Badmus, she opens up on her Muslim background 

What was your mission in Hajj?

I travelled to Mecca for prayers. Mecca is a place that everybody needs to visit. It is a place where prayers are answered. I am a living testimony. I prayed for everybody around me that almighty Allah should continue to guide and protect them and answer their prayers.

Did you imagine your journey to the holy land would generate so much noise as it did? 

So far, I must commend the effort of the Nigerian media. I salute the professionalism of the Nigeria journalists. I appreciate all the TV presenters, Radio presenters, bloggers and print journalists. I don’t have any problem so far with what they wrote about my journey to the holy land. Their reports have been wonderful and I pray for Allah’s total protection over all my fans, my family and my well-wishers. 

A lot of people were shocked to hear about your trip to Mecca since many believed you were a Christian 

When I traveled, I actually I sneaked in to Mecca. I didn’t want anybody to know about it. This is because; I have been practicing this (Islam) for a very long time. I actually planned to sneak into Mecca to pray for myself as an orphan and sneak out but you know when you pray for something and at the end of the day, God answered beyond your expectation, it will no longer be a secret. That is exactly what happened to me. I have been a Muslim for a very long time.
