Idowu Phillips, a seasoned Nollywood actress better known as Mama Rainbow, has recalled how her son nearly persuaded her to undergo a witchcraft initiation.
In an interview with Daily Trust, the 80-year-old actress who started her ministry as a prophetess said that she struggled financially in the beginning of her profession.
She continued by saying that she had grown to feel this way more when her husband Femi passed away a few years after their wedding, leaving her to care for their children.
Mama Rainbow claims that her son, who at first disagreed with her religious views, persuaded her to become a witch so they could become wealthy, and she caved.
But when he got to the initiation site and saw the amount she had to pay, he yanked her out.
The actress 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.
“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.”
