“I love my husband,” Aigbe confessed with a radiant smile, delving into the profound connection that led her to change her religion, a significant life choice she had made.
“I don’t think any woman would have gone through what I went through if it was not for love because I really didn’t have to,” she explained.
At 45, Aigbe emphasized her responsibility for her decisions, shedding light on her transition from Christianity to Islam.
“I’m a lover girl, very emotional. I love love,” she expressed, revealing the personal reasons behind her journey.
