Veteran Nollywood actress, Idowu Philips aka Iya Rainbow has
said that she hopes to live as long as 120 years.
She said she wished to live long because of her missionary
work handed to her by God.
The actress said this on Saturday as she clocked
79-year-old. According to her, despite her age, she enjoyed God’s grace which
made her still strong, agile and active.
“I’m celebrating my birthday today, I was born on October
16, 1942. It’s my 79th birthday, and I’m glad that the world is celebrating
with me. I pray to God almighty to preserve my life up to 80, 90, and 120 years
on earth. I wish to reach 120 years of age, especially due to the missionary
work which has now been handed over to me by God. I have a church and I pray to
live longer to fulfil my purpose, she said.
“At 79 I’m still very
agile. Going to locations, modelling and advertising as an ambassador are all
part of exercising which has helped me to be smart. But like I always say, it
is the grace of God, staying healthy at such an age is God’s gift. It’s by the
grace of God that I am still relevant in the industry, she said.
The Airtel ambassador noted that she celebrated her birthday
by giving out relief materials to widows through her Non-governmental
Organization (NGO) ‘Mama Rainbow Foundation.’
She was celebrated by fans and colleagues in the movie
industry. Many of them posted her picture on their Instagram pages wishing her
a happy birthday.
