MERCY JOHNSON REACTS TO BAN
The busy actress has however reacted to the news. Her opinion which was aired on her twitter page is quite hilarious but one could tell she was so serious and (maybe) could not be bothered. Read her tweets above.

LIZ ANJORIN ON WHY SHE CHANGED HER RELIGION
Light-skinned Yoruba actress, Liz Anjorin who recently changed her religion (from Christianity to Islam) has opened up on the matter. Liz who now prefers to be addressed as Alhaja Aishat Anjorin told City People that it all happened in a miraculous way.
"Not that I woke up yesterday and decided to change my religion. By birth, I was half Muslim and half Christian. My father was Christian while my mum was Muslim. Growing up I went to church because of my father.
I didn't have a choice at the time but I have always had interest in Islam so immediately my father died I switched over to my mum's religion. It is a religion I love so much. Also Aisha is now my official name though Liz is still my name and I will continue to use the name to do movies."
