Actress Omowunmi Dada has explained why she ended a relationship after her partner shifted from Christianity to practicing Islam.
Dada said she met the man as a Christian, but was shocked when he announced he was fasting during Ramadan.
When she asked why, he said it was to make his mother happy.
That moment told her they could not continue, she said.
She wants to marry a practicing Christian and raise her children in the Christian faith.
Though he asked her to stay and offered to attend church with her, his insistence that their future children would also visit the mosque and learn Islam did not work for her.
She said she has nothing against Muslims and has Muslim friends she respects.
But for the family she wants to build, she needs unity in one faith with her husband, holding together as Christians raising Christian children.
