Well-known Nollywood actor, Adewale Alebiosu has shared his incredible spiritual journey, explaining how a chance spiritual experience in a church changed his life and converted him from Islam to Christianity.
In a candid interview published on the official YouTube channel of Feel Right News TV on Thursday, August 14, 2025, Alebiosu revealed that he was born into a devout Muslim family, with both parents practicing Islam. Growing up, he followed the Islamic faith diligently until a life-changing incident shifted his beliefs.
Recalling the events, Alebiosu explained that it all began when a friend invited him to a church program. The church, he said, needed someone who could play the drums during the service, and his friend knew he had drumming skills. Initially, Alebiosu was reluctant to step into the church due to his Muslim background.
“I was born as a Muslim, and my parents also practice Islam,” he began. “One day, a friend of mine invited me to a church program, and they needed someone that could beat the drum during the church service.

My friend pleaded with me to come and help, but I didn’t want to enter the church at first. Eventually, the pastor himself came to plead with me, so I agreed to play the drums for them.”
What happened next, Alebiosu described as an overwhelming and inexplicable experience.
“All of a sudden, I noticed that my head started swelling up and the building of the church looked like it was moving around quickly,” he recounted. “Before I knew it, I fell down and lost consciousness. I converted from Islam to Christianity when I fell down inside the church while drumming.”
The actor said that when he regained consciousness, he felt a deep sense of peace and an unexplainable pull toward Christianity. For him, the incident was not just a physical collapse, but a divine encounter that signaled a new chapter in his spiritual journey.
Alebiosu acknowledged that the decision to change faiths was not easy. Coming from a Muslim family, his conversion was met with mixed reactions, including confusion, concern, and, in some cases, disappointment from relatives. However, he remained steadfast, believing that his experience was a clear sign from God.
“Some people thought it was just a coincidence or maybe a health problem, but I know what I felt,” he said. “That day was the turning point of my life. Since then, I have been serving God in the Christian faith, and my life has changed for the better.”
Over the years, Alebiosu has become known for his roles in Yoruba Nollywood films, often portraying characters rooted in traditional and spiritual themes. He noted that his personal experiences have shaped the way he interprets such roles, adding depth to his performances.
The actor concluded by encouraging people to remain open to spiritual transformation, regardless of their backgrounds. “God can meet you anywhere, in any situation, and turn your life around,” he said. “I am a living testimony of that.” He added.
Alebiosu’s story has sparked discussions on social media, with many praising his courage to share such a personal and potentially controversial aspect of his life.
His journey stands as a reminder of the profound and often unpredictable ways faith can reshape a person’s path.
