Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike has debunked reports that he has converted to Islam.
This comes as a result of the news that went viral over the weekend that two popular African footballers; Emmanuel Emenike and Emmanuel Adebayor converted to Islam.
Emenike was reported to have announced his conversion during a conversation with a coach of his club, Vitor Pereira.
Denying the allegation, the striker insists he's a staunch catholic but admitted to fasting during the Ramadan month.
While speaking with African Soccer online, the striker said...
“The report that I am now a Muslim is absolute rubbish and false. I want the source of the news to re-address it. I have no reason to convert to Islam even though I have lots of Muslim friends. Is there any big deal observing fasting during the (Muslim) fasting period?”
“I am very disappointed seeing the news going viral because it is something I told my coach in our conversation when he asked me a question and I never said I have become a Muslim. Fasting is not what everybody should know that you are doing and it’s very sad seeing this in the media.
“I am a Catholic, a strong one for that matter, and I came from Christian home. I don’t discriminate against anybody and I believe we are all equal in the presence of God, so what is the big deal in fasting? Does he know how many time I fast to get closer to God before the fasting periods? It’s really sad because I don’t see it as a big deal.”
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Adebayor who was also reported to have converted to Islam on Sunday when a video of him taking the Shahada (the Islamic creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet) in Togo went viral, is yet to deny the allegation.

Shut up chikito, Is it not a man that validates a woman before ??? A woman is very Incomplete without a man otherwise why are feminists like chimamanda, beyonce , Hilary Clinton married?? It is your type that first post her contacts details and that of their family whenever stella does single and mingle post. Keep deceiving yourself that you don't need a man until you clock 40 your eyes will clear. The so called America you made reference to, almost all their powerful women are married even though they marry today and divorce tomorrow. If every woman doesn't need a man, how come 99.9% of the chronicles we read here daily are centered on men ? It is only women without bf, fiancee or husband's that advice other women to leave the bfs or matrimonial homes. They are quick to say all men cheat and call them evil yet the day they finally hooks a man, you would hear them saying all men aren't evil. Now run along and go find yourself a God fearing man cuz you sound lonely.
DeleteAnonymous u are a sad case...I'm sure you're in one of them useless marriages, that's if you're married....receive sense!!! Amen!
