How my own son tried to introduce me to witchcraft – Actress Mama Rainbow recounts

Veteran Nollywood actress cum Prophetess, Idowu Phillips, widely known as Mama Rainbow has recounted how one of her children once tried to convince her to become a witch so she would be rich.

In an interview with Daily Trust, the actress disclosed that she was broke during the early stage of her career, especially as her husband, Femi died a few years after their marriage, leaving her to raise their children.

Mama Rainbow recalled how one of her children who initially did not align with her religious beliefs, advised that she became a witch so they can be rich. In her words:

“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.”

Mama Rainbow further revealed after she gave in and went to the place with him, her son dragged her out after he realized the price it comes with. She added:

“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.”
