Big Brother Naija 10/10 housemate, Farida Sultana Auduson Ibrahim, known simply as Sultana, has disclosed why she chose Islam over Christianity.
The 25-year-old plus-size model explained that she grew up with a Muslim father and a Christian mother but decided to practice Islam because it is the religion that “works best” for her.
She shared that she was a Catholic with the baptismal name Josephine before she converted to Islam.
She disclosed this during a chat with fellow housemate, Zita, on Wednesday night.
Zita: “Are your parents strict Muslims?”
Sultana: “No, I grew up going to both church and mosque, my mom is a Christian. At some point, I got baptized in Catholic. My baptismal name is Josephine. I just decided to choose the religion that works best for me, which is Islam.”
Sultana’s father is a Muslim from Adamawa State, while her mother is a Christian from Yala, Cross River State.
