A quick check with 3 top Nollywood sources revealed that Vivian who was left shattered by the crash of her 11 year old marriage became uneasy with her circle of Christian friends after they refused to help her . She later developed intimate bond with her Muslim colleague, Iyabo Ojo, who eventually introduced her to Islam.

Shortly after her conversion, Vivian said she dumped Christianity because it was too confusing for her.

Her adopted Muslim name is Fareedah.
