She
said, “I don’t know what the hullabaloo is all about. I am from a Muslim
background. My father was a Muslim. My grandfather was Muslim. My father was
Lasisi Alao. There is no big deal in this. The religion is not new to me. I
chose to follow my mother before; and now I decide to go back to Islam, is
there a problem?”

Lola
said, “Fathia Balogun was a Christian but she changed. Bukky Wright was also a
Christian and she changed to Islam and nobody has tried to crucify them.
How come my own is different? I have not rested. I cannot sleep again.
People are saying different things since they heard the news.”

past, dresses in an Islamic mode especially in her recent pictures on Instagram.

But Lola refuted this. She told Saturday PUNCH:
““I
am happily married, I am not looking for a husband and my husband is even a
Muslim. I was even a Christian before he married me. Nobody forced me into this
religion. Everything about me is usually people’s headache and they would just
carry my matter on their head like gala (sausage).”
