If you are an average Nigerian internet user, you must have seen a video or memes of a female preacher known as Mummy GO. For her hell-threatening sermons and ridiculous preaching, she has since become an internet sensation.
While many might be wondering who Mummy GO is, BlackBox Nigeria has culled out seven (7) important things you should know about the evangelist.
1. Mummy GO’s real name is Evangelist Funmilayo Adebayo. She is 54 years old and hails from Ekiti State. She is the founder of Rapture Proclaimer Evangelical Church of God.
2. She earned the nickname ‘Mummy GO’ from Nigerian netizens after videos of her making controversial and hilarious prophecies and sermons about heaven and hellfire emerged online.
3. Her photographs have also gone viral in memes on social media platforms including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok with controversial and funny inscriptions that mimic her statements about hell.
4. In one of her videos, she once revealed that she was originally a man in ancient Egypt, but died in a war. The evangelist claimed that she was trained in the afterlife and was sent for ‘I.T’ (Industrial training) before she was sent to Nigeria where she was reborn as a woman.
5. She stated that before she gave life to Christ, she was a drug peddler who sold illegal firearms to armed robbers. She also stated that she was connected to former Nigerian leaders such as Obasanjo and Babaginda. “I wasn’t a fool before I met Christ. I was a cocaine pusher. I sold guns and rented ammunitions to robbers. I was a hired killer. I had boys at my disposal. Whenever I want to give information to politicians, they pay millions,” she disclosed in one of her now-viral videos.
6. Among her viral messages is one where the clergywoman said break dancing originated from the land of the dead. Using a PowerPoint presentation, she declared, “Where did breaking dancing generate from? Michael Jackson. He got power from the dead land. What is the land of the dead? Skeleton. Skeleton is not for the living. If you break dance, you’re telling God you’re dead.”
7. In 2019, she was heavily criticized for saying that people who take vitamins C and eat Titus fish will not make heaven. She also alleged that Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh is not a human being and that American female musicians, Rihanna and Beyoncé, are married to the devil.
