Lola
Alao has said people should stop carrying her matter on their heads like
sausage. While speaking with Saturday Beats, she said, Muslim is not a religion
that is new to her as her forefathers, including her father too were Muslims
before they passed on. She said she is amazed about how people have not let her
be after the news got online. Her words;
“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?
“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.”
Chief
among the rumour, being peddled was that Lola switched to Islam because of a
rich ‘Alhaji’ who she wanted to get married to.
But
the actress said, “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).”
