Popular Nigerian figure, Peller, has opened up about a deeply personal journey that led him to convert from Islam to Christianity. In an emotional revelation that has sparked conversations online, he shared the traumatic childhood experience that planted the seeds of spiritual transformation in his life.
According to Peller, his story is not one of rebellion or hatred for his former faith, but rather a personal quest for peace, healing, and a deeper relationship with God. He described his childhood as one filled with confusion, fear, and unanswered questions. Growing up in a strict Muslim home, he said he was constantly silenced whenever he asked questions about life, pain, and the nature of God. But what broke him most was an experience that left a permanent scar
I was about 9 years old when I lost my mother,” he began. “She was my everything. After she died, I was left in the care of relatives who treated me with so much cruelty, all in the name of discipline and religion. I would wake up with bruises and sleep with tears. They would force me to recite verses without explaining what they meant, and if I made a mistake, I was beaten like a thief.”
Peller said those years of silent suffering made him associate pain with religion. But things began to change when he encountered a group of Christians in secondary school who treated him with kindness and never judged him for his background. It was their compassion that made him curious.
One day, I walked into a fellowship. No one asked me what religion I came from. They just welcomed me, prayed with me, and showed me love. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I needed to earn approval from God. I just felt accepted.”
He said his heart slowly began to open up to the teachings of Christ, especially the message of love, forgiveness, and grace. “I wasn’t looking for a new religion,” he explained. “I was looking for peace. And I found it in Christ.”
Though his decision to convert was met with heavy criticism from family and friends, Peller insists it was the best decision of his life. “I didn’t change because I hated Islam. I changed because I found something that healed my heart. I found a personal relationship with God that gave me purpose and joy.”
He now uses his platform to encourage people to seek truth for themselves and not to be afraid of asking hard questions. His story has inspired many who feel stuck between tradition and personal conviction.
God is bigger than any religion,” Peller added. “And sometimes, your deepest pain can lead you to your greatest transformation.”
Peller’s story is a reminder that faith is deeply personal and that, beyond religious labels, what people long for most is a real connection with God and a life filled with hope.
