The story
filtered into town via the Facebook page of a certain Adepoju Yusuf Olatunde of
Acadip Nigeria, who claimed that the new convert has taken
Islamic lessons and now a full-fledged Muslim.
He posted on Facebook:
“Join me
in Congratulating LOLA ALAO (A Popular Nollywood Actress) She just took the
Kalimatu Shaa’dah from me, and chose the name RHODIAT. May Allah give her
proper understanding of Islam, and make her, well grounded in her new Faith,
Al-Islam. Aamiyn.”
But that
seems to be a scam because when contacted today, Lola Alao, who is in Abuja on
a business visit, claimed ignorance of the so-called cleric or any conversion.

“I am a
Christian and a full-time member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. I don’t know where
that emanated from. I was born and raised a Christian. I was never a Muslim.
That’s all I have to say,” she said in an exclusive interview with Kemiashefonlovehaven.
Asked why
that ‘cleric’ shared the post and Lola, who is married to a Christian, Wale,
refused any answer but laughed.
“I am a
Christian,” she said.
