Aishat (Charity) Uzoechina, the 26-year-old daughter of Pastor Raymond Uzoechina, who converted to Islam last year, is set to wed.
The Executive Director of Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, Ishaq Akintola, whose organization has kept tab on the convert for months, said Miss Uzoechina is set to marry on May 2.
Mr. Akintola, a professor at the Lagos State University, said in a message posted to a discussion forum moderated by MURIC, that Miss Uzoechina would be marrying the lawyer who handled her case after her conversion to Islam became controversial.
Mr. Akintola’s message reads as follows:
Salaam All,
Remember Sister Aishat? She is the pastor’s daughter who reverted to Islam last year and the father raised hell in Niger State. MURIC has been monitoring her progress.
She is to wed on Friday, 2nd May, 2014.
Guess who is the proposed husband? Barrister Tijani, the lawyer whom MURIC got to handle her case in court.
Isn’t this worth celebrating?
Details of the arrangement for Miss Uzoechina’s marriage ceremony are not immediately available.
NE could not reach her and her fiancé for comments.
Background
Miss Uzoechina, a student of the Federal Polytechnic, Bida, converted to Islam on February 13, 2013, angering her family and sparking a religious controversy in the country.
Following her conversion, she dropped her first name (Charity) and adopted Aishat in its place.
Fearing for her life, she stopped school and approached a Shariah court in Niger state, asking for protection from her parents.
The court asked the Etsu Nupe, Yahaya Abubakar, the spiritual and political head of the Bida emirate in North-Central Nigeria, to take her into custody.
However, her father, Pastor Uzoechina, and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) tried to take her back from the Etsu Nupe, accusing the Emir of abducting and forcibly converting the student to Islam.
But the Etsu Nupe and the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) insisted that Miss Uzoechina voluntarily converted to Islam and on her own sought refuge at the Etsu Nupe’s palace in Bida out of fear she might be harmed.
Miss Uzoechina was quoted at the time as saying her conversion to Islam was “strictly personal, gradual and well thought-out.”
“I joined Islam purely on my own terms. I love the character of Muslims that I have related with, particularly the way they behave. You know Muslims believe in God,” Miss Uzoechina, told OnIslam.net at the time.
“I have Muslim friends and I watched what they do, that enticed me to join Islam.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteMay ALLAH(SWT) bless you and the marriage. May HE show your parents way to come and serve GOD that doesn't die talk less of resurrection.
ReplyDeleteFOOL did Muhammed resurrected
DeleteGood reply there @anonymous 7:16am. A god dt doesn't die indeed, yet Muhammed died and never resurrected. LWKM
DeleteYou are the worst 'Christians' ever known to mankind. So your 'resurrection' story is the pillar of your belief? Note this, that no human born of a woman that ever lived, ate food, drank water, felt pain, went to toilet ever died and was resurrected. If you died, you died and cannot be resurrected - so go into your faith literature and study it very well, you will note that the person hanged on the cross (if at all it was Jesus), never died. History and discoveries have proven that, but some of you have been so programmed like robots to swallow hook line and sinker whatever fairy tale you are told. Your holy book said 'it is appointed unto man (born of a woman), to die once and after that, judgement...', Jesus was a man born by Mary (a woman) and if he died on the cross as you Christians claim, then the idea of resurrection is concocted by his fake followers like some of you. The average Muslim believes in Jesus (Isa), but refutes the fake story that the revered one of God like him should be humiliated and killed on the Cross by infidels. The reasons are numerous,, but one is worth mentioning as written in your (Christians) holy book, that 'cursed is he who dies hanging on a tree...', read your scriptures very well. If Jesus died on the cross which of course is not iron, but wooden (tree), then it means he is cursed? One could go on and on to disprove all your fairy tales about the revered person of Jesus (peace upon him), but as written in your concocted holy book - seeing you do not see, hearing you do not hear...
DeleteYou have explained from ur limited knowledge as a human. But I want to admonish u to accept Christ, and His death and resurrection is the foundation for redemption of mankind. The word of God is supreme and cannot be concocted. Be warned!
DeleteHahahahahahahahahhahahahaah.
ReplyDeleteMy friend u should try to find out about Islam and stop fooling yrself.Jesus is only sent to the Israelists.Aisha did the right thing. This thing happens in the west a lot. Particularly in the US.
ReplyDeletecharity, now called Aisha f hadith of bukhari 4:470 Muhammad said that only 70,000 or 700,000 of his followers will go to heaven all together. charity aisha, among the millions of d Muslims world wide will u be among d 70,000 or 700,000 that will go to heaven?.
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is a disease. You are en joined to look for knowledge. Font be parochial. Islam in nothing but peace. You don't have to quote what you know nothing about. Please my brother be open minded to all other religion the truth shall set you free.
Deletesahil bukhari 1:770 sasys that all d Muslims must go to hell and it only on the day of resurrection shall they be rescued, that d angels will rescue them by recognizing them by d prayer bump on there forehead. charity aisha, do u have d prayer bump on or forehead? even if u have it how many years will u be in hell fire? d hadith said that it is on d day of resurection, millions have died 1400 years ago and they are still there burning waiting for d day of resurrection. millons wilf stiil die and go there waiting , so if d resurrection day will b millions of years to come u pple will there burning. my advice to u is to study d history of Islam, study the Koran, the hadith, study d life of Muhammad, don't allow any body to brainwash u bt I saw that u have been brainwashed, don't be blind open your eye. Jesus love u.
ReplyDeleteQuoting had it wrongly does not portray you as been knowledgeable. My brother, try to broaden your knowledge about Islam. The hadith you quoted was simply saying that all unfaithful, sinful Muslims that die with the creed that Allaah is One and Only, he begoth not neither is He begotten, and observer all pillars of Islam. But die without asking for forgiveness of his major since like adultery, alcoholism, killing etc will go to hell first to surfer for the sins committed while on earth. Allaah would then forgive and pardon the person as He wishes. Bring him/her from hell fire but only through the sign on his/her head that he/she was a Muslim while on earth. The bump as u called it does not have to show.
Deletewhat a beauty in hijab ALLAH created 4 his servant muslems,may ALLAH bless her home nd give them children dat wl always b wt them in islam which is d right part 2 follow,ameen summa ameen.
ReplyDeleteGosh I wonder where christians get their quotes from, ofor, what you just typed here is A BIG LIE, stop spreading bullshits. Just to stop this beautiful religion from growing which you and even the west media cannot. AL-ISLAM till the death of me.
ReplyDeleteGosh, see this is what really makes the north which has the least tolerance for these things really angry. What the hadith is saying is that the sirat bridge would be laid over hell, I.e a bridge to heaven over hell. Which is like a trial on its own, cause some people would fall some would pass through, some would be dragged over. Please endeavour to pass the right information, we are all enlightened minds, stop spreading false news. May the Almighty Allah (swt) be with you. AMEEN

ReplyDeleteI remember this girl. You people should let her be for God sake. Though any parent will feel terrible about her decision. I have been there before. I was a daughter of an Islamic cleric, my parents Alhaji n Alhaja, my brothers, uncles as Imams. I was a practical Muslim but now I am born again in Christ Jesus. I've had life experience that Religion is not God alone, it's the very life of the worshippers. Just like Charity Aisha I was 1st of all loved by my Christian friends than my Muslim family. I ran away too but I didn't involve the public. So many are doing the same thing without making noise about it. Its all about life decision. So if you want people to convert to your religion, just show love and be nice about it because LOVE conquers all.
ReplyDeleteISLAM CAME OVER 400+ AFTER CHRISTIANITY AND THE BOOK ALSO.

It's a pity how we have over and over again continued to show ourselves as fools for religion.
I can tell you that most of us Africans do not know a thing about Christianity and Islam we adopted.
We have not come to prove things for ourselves, if we did, we would know what is true. Christianity is not a religion and competes with none. We have a fellowship with the true and living God and this only through Jesus Christ.
I was a muslim, I tried the religion by myself and not by observing people because even darkness could fake light.
Now I am a Christian and I know this is the right Path for All.
Ask most of us who talk about religion, we have no proof for ourselves except it was said or done by some other persons.
Those so called prophets like Mohammed, okay, Jesus too, who claimed they heard God while a man, then you also must hear this God for yourself. If you can go through this you will see which is actually true. Islam and Christians do not serve the same God because the Christian God can be only approached via Jesus Christ only.
-AMINU O.I-
Aminu? Sorry for you are lost. Christianity is better for you because you cannot follow the tenets of God (Islam). For lazy ones like you, you just need to believe some innocent one (Jesus), died for you and then you are in heaven. You MUST carry your load oo. No be Jesus' concocted death go save you oo.
Deletewell spoken Aminu and I totally agree with u. Religion is not same as having a relationship with God.

Someone in person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth has paid the price of salvation for all nation to be saved. It is now our choice to choose the path of righteousness. Salvation that Jesus brings hangs on our willingness. As for me and my home-wife & children, we will serve the Lord Jesus Christ till eternity.
ReplyDeleteAssaalam alaikum Aisha may almighty Allah continue to guide and protect you against all evils. May you have a happy marriage and bear children that will grow to assist the helpless ones.
ReplyDeleteAmeen Ya ALLAH
Deletethose who are trying to interpret d hadith that I gave in a difrent way have to know that it is their own interpretation not what d hadit said. anybody can Google that hadith and u will see that d hadith didn't say that is only d unfaithful and sinful Muslim will enter fire, I chaleng every body to go and read d hadith (1:770) properly and u will discover that been Muslim makes somebody a candidate of hell fire.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with u and I don't need to read hadith or anything else to come to that conclusion. People who will point a gun at u and tell u to convert to islam or die, people who kill mercilessly if u don't worship the satan they call allah, so wicked to u once u don't worship their allah. I have never read anywhere or seen or even heard somehow that a Christian points a gun at someone's head to convert or die. Its such a big pity that we share same country with such barbaric people, but I know our God is working something out for us! very soon and very soon, we shall be free from these evil muslims and evil killers!
Delete'Because the christian God can only be approached via jesus christ only' aminu your logic faults me. It shows that you don't even know anything about christianity. Because to christians jesus is also a God. Astagfirullaah. So you approach a God through another God, how different are you then from the traditional worshippers. He is only a messenger, enough said. Ofor, I shake my head, how would a religion have a book in which their prophets says they would go to hell and then the religion is the fastest growing religion, just saying. If you have nothing to say or do, go study the Quran well and stop misinterpreting things.
ReplyDeleteofo,pls go and seek for knowledge and stop displaying ur ignorance,stupidity and foolishness. It‘s only an advice, ofo.
ReplyDeleteMr Ofor I admire ur interest in Islam.. So let me tell u this. Get a book of hadith and read the hadith there. Searching for it through google will most certainly get u fake versions of anything u search except a few.
ReplyDeleteMr anonymous,u are asking hw would a religion have a book in which their prophet said that all his followers will go to hell. let m ask u, don't u that there is? if u don't then I wat u to kno that there is and I wiil like u to go and read it. again what a mini said is true, d xtians and d Muslims don't worship d same God. Allah is being worshiped by d Arabs bfor Muhammad Islam, abdulah d father of Muhammad worshiped this being and was name d servant of Allah( abdulah) yet he was never a Muslim. now how can pple say that Allah is God? shahada all so prove that Allah is not God.
ReplyDeleteyes I have book of hadith Mr man, wat are u trying to tell me I have both d hadit and d Koran in my system. are u saying that d hadit I gave is not true?.
ReplyDeleteturaini u are d one displaying ur foolishness, stupidity and ignorance of the hadith not me. truth is biter trully BT u can't deny that hadith.
ReplyDeletemr ofor,u need emergency psychartrical attention,u r a confused man,may God 4give 4 passing false information around
ReplyDeleteYour ignorance ofor, just surprises me. Now listen up before you start ranting again. Allah is the arabic name for God, just as oluwa in yoruba and chukwu in igbo, now because the traditionalists use chukwu when they talk about their gods does it mean you can't use it to talk about God. That's the arabic language not english. Even the christians over there say Allah when referring to God so, like I said and I'll say it again. Go do your research well and stop misfiring. God bless
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS AISHA, WISHING ALL THE BEST IN THIS WORLD AND HEREAFTER. MAY ALLAH (SWT) GUIDE,BLESS AND PROTECT YOU AND YOUR TO BE HUSBAND AMEN.
ReplyDeleteMay gud punish all muslims. Islam is a religion of violence and deciet, a religion of boko haram, a religion full of evil, religion of terrorism useless religion praticed by the worst bastards on eartrh.
ReplyDeleteLearn to spell first. Then comeback with reasonable premises.
DeleteLearn how to spell first.
ReplyDeleteIn d Koran 7: 179 Allah said many are d jins and men we have made for hell. waooooooo this is d god the Muslims are willing to kill and be killed for, what a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteMy sister, no 1 judged you neither myself. The only thing is that you have known the truth before and do bible says the truth shall set up free. But the truth did not set free.why
ReplyDeleteNow I see why Nigeria is backward and reversing in same direction,Politicians use religion to divide Nigerians and they steal the money silly.
ReplyDeleteFriends stop this trend ,let Aisha be she has chosen her path.Yes I am a born again Christian ,I will not persecute her,and I beg all of you to think of how religion can be individualized,.Let the beauty of holiness be seeing in our lives.Ha Nigeria is in trouble.MNy youths are without jobs and religion is still being discussed with such venom
May Allah SWT bless the union.
ReplyDeleteMay ALLAH SWT bless the union.
ReplyDeleteIslamic double standard when it comes to issues like this. remember a lady has just been sentenced to death in sudan for converting to christianity even when she said she is a christian and had always been. but she was guilty just because her absent father is a muslim.think about it and decide which religion is the right one.
