Popular Nollywood actor, Bolanle Ninalowo has revealed he was once a Muslim who converted to being a Christian after his encounter.

According to the actor, he was born into a strong Muslim family. He was born and named Azeez – obviously a muslim name.

However, he had a change of faith and religion after some bad experience which nobody but the bible rescued him from.

According to Nino, not even his parents nor his family members who were Muslims could help him out of his troubles.

The father of two said this during an Instagram Live session with Mr Porsche. He, however, noted that he been to church just once.

He said: “Although I have only gone to church once in my entire life, I read the bible a lot.

“My name is Azeez; I was born into a staunch Muslim family. When I was troubled and frustrated, it was the bible that saved me, as my parents and family members couldn’t.

So, I picked up the bible and it became my life manual,” he continued.

Speaking of the rate at which Nollywood veterans go suddenly sick and broke, Ninalowo said the actors are to blame and not the government.

He said “The blame should not be on Nollywood because it doesn’t have structure, it should be on the individual.

“You are not a victim of circumstances; you are a victim of the choices you made. A lot of them are carried away. They don’t have retirement plans,” he said.
