My Son Once Tried To Introduce Me To Witchcraft – Mama Rainbow
By Funmilayo Olusanya
Veteran Nigerian actress, Idowu Phillips, better known as Mama Rainbow, has narrated how one of her children tried to persuade her to become a witch in order to become wealthy.
The actress, who is now a prophetess, revealed in an exclusive interview that she was extremely poor in the beginning of her career, particularly because her husband Femi passed away shortly after they were married, leaving her to care for their children.
More specifically, Mama Rainbow recalled how one of her children originally disagreed with her religious ideas when she first started her prophetess ministry.
Taking a trip down memory lane, the actress stated that when things were really tough in the family, one of her children advised that she became a witch so that they can be rich.
She said, “It was tough; after prayers, some of them would always cry. Whenever one of my sons saw me with a Bible he would ask what I was doing with it. At a point, he said he would take me to where I could become a witch and I agreed. He said that once I became a witch we would be okay.”

The legendary thespian stated that when her son realised the price for his mother to become a witch, he dragged her out of the place.
Mama Rainbow said, “I agreed and he took me somewhere, but before God and man, when I got there and they told me the requirements, I was shocked. They said it was the child I loved the most that would be used for sacrifice.
“I told the person that it was the child I loved most that brought me to the place. At that point, my son held my hand and said it was time to go home.”
