Popular Nollywood star Adunni Ade has openly shared the spiritual struggles she faced after moving abroad, describing how her journey led her away from her faith before ultimately finding her way back.
In an emotional interview on WithChude, Adunni revealed the deep sense of emptiness she experienced when disconnected from her religion.
“I was born into Islam and studied Islamic Religious Studies in secondary school,” she explained. “But after leaving Nigeria and relocating to the United States, things changed.”
She recounted her time in Kentucky, describing it as a racially segregated state dominated by white people, which made it difficult for her to practice her faith.
“My mom lives in Kentucky, and it’s quite a racist place. I couldn’t find a mosque there,” she said. “I drifted away from Islam and from God altogether, and that period was filled with a lot of darkness for me.”
Adunni described how her spiritual revival began after meeting a pastor from the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), who helped restore her connection to God.
Upon returning to Nigeria, she quietly reconnected with Islam on her own terms, away from public attention. She emphasized that true Islam is about one’s inner character rather than outward religious displays.
For Adunni, sharing her spiritual journey was about being truthful and no longer hiding her story.
