Funmilayo Adebayo,
the controversial Nigerian evangelist nicknamed Mummy GO, has claimed that many
viral videos of her scaring a church audience with preachings about hell are
doctored.
Mummy GO became a viral sensation on social media over
sermons propagating unorthodox moral standards.
The clergy, in an interview with BBC Pidgin, addressed the mixed
reactions that have trailed her teachings.
She said even Lucifer won’t make some of the comments that have been attributed to her on social media.
“I’ve seen those
videos but I didn’t feel bad because none of those posting these things are my
enemies. 90 percent of them are just catching fun on social media and jumping
on trends. They don’t know me,” Mummy GO said.
“Many don’t know the scandalous reasons why it started. In
Nigeria, stress is too much for the youth. People need what will make them
laugh. Some didn’t even know I exist. I didn’t say those things. Most of the videos
are edited.
“Even Lucifer won’t say those things if he were to become
pastor not to talk of a preacher. Those doing it started eight years ago. They
first used magazines but started sending armed people to pursue me when it
didn’t work.
“My preachings are in the bible. I’ve been receiving some
strange calls, ‘evangelist Funmi, you’re affecting us. Many of our members here
are pulling out of our church. If you don’t stop, we’ll kill you.’ I thought it
was just a threat.
“People started pursuing us with guns. They have been
threatening my life but I didn’t change. So they went to use social media. If
they say my preaching is hard, if the word of God is hard, let the few that
believe follow me.”
