Popular Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin unleashed a harsh attack on fans who chose to address her using the Islamic titles she had totally adopted as a Muslim during a fiery Instagram live engagement.
Lizzy Anjorin recently made headlines after an online spat with Iyabo Ojo and she made it clear that she prefers to be addressed by her traditional name, Yeye Mesho.
In the video, the actress claimed that after experiencing severe online persecution and harassment, she has decided to cut her ties with Islam and Muslims.

According to her, this decision stems from the perceived lack of backing from fellow Muslim individuals or Islamic organizations during her ordeal.
Lashing out at a fan called Dammy, Lizzy Anjorin said in Yoruba; “Don’t ever call me alhaja or iya adini again, I did not see any Muslim defend me on social media.”

The filmmaker, initially known as a Christian, suddenly became a Muslim about ten years ago.
Lizzy Anjorin, in an Instagram post, said she switched to Islam because pastors refused to help with the burial rites of her mother.
The actress said she had to hurriedly bury her mother because she had asked not to be taken to the mortuary when she died.
“I could remember right from when I was a teenager, my mother used to tell me that she does not want her dead body to be taking to the mortuary when she dies,” Anjorin wrote in an Instagram post.
She said her mother was born into a Muslim family but they slept in the church “several times during the struggles so we are automatically Christians”.
Anjorin said no less than ten pastors refused to perform the funeral rites because her mother was not a member of their church.
