the past two years that Evelyn Owolabi, a teacher, has lived in the Adeyefa Estate, Iyana Ipaja said she has never witnessed the influx of visitors that now crowd her neighborhood in recent times.
He would later discover that Mummy GO’s Rapture Proclaimer Evangelical Church of God, located on the estate, is responsible for the sudden rise in strange faces.
First was the presence of ‘holy’ policemen stationed at different points on the property to register new faces and prevent nosy strangers from accessing the church.
They made it extremely difficult to photograph the street and the church building. When our reporter tried to get a quick one out, the holy police temporarily seized his phone and deleted the photos and videos.
Fortunately, he was able to secure a few on his back.
Evangelist Adebayo Funmilayo, popularly called Mummy GO by social media fans and critics alike, has been trending for months for her unorthodox, questionable, and sometimes humorous sermons. PREMIUM TIMES featured her on the ‘Interesting’ Nigerian Preachers Trending in 2021.
Missing in action
This newspaper participated in the church’s Solution Monday prayers in hopes of seeing the church’s founder, but sadly, she was missing in action.
Ever since videos of her preaching went viral, the incendiary evangelist has carefully avoided prying eyes from the public by staying away from recent church activities.
Although the reason for his absence is unknown, many believe that ‘Mummy GO’ fears for his safety.
During her infamous interview with the BBC, Mummy GO, who pretended to ignore her viral sermons, stated that people were threatening her for her end-time preaching. He also inferred that the videos circulating on social networks are false.
“Even Satan will not say all those things that speak less of someone who calls herself a ‘preacher of holiness.”
According to the evangelist, the authors of those viral videos were looking for his life. She said they had started eight years ago through a magazine, but it didn’t result in much. Therefore, they turned to social networks.
The famous preacher also claimed that she received death threats and strange calls for her kind of preaching.
“I’ve been getting some strange calls at times. They said, ‘you are driving people away from our kingdom’; sometimes they use weapons to threaten my life ”.
Your comments may explain why you have been absent from church in the last week.
Solution monday
Solution Monday, as the name implies, takes place every Monday morning from 9 am until “when the Holy Spirit sets us free”, this was according to the preacher, Pastor Sam, who simply introduced himself as the assistant by Mummy GO.
Although the reporter joined the service at 10:30 am (one hour and 30 minutes late), the service had started with an intense praise and worship session.
After making sure that the parishioners were dressed “properly” and did not have jewelry or bracelets, the reporter was allowed to join the service in the company of other visitors.
After the service, the newcomers were invited to the altar as the pastor prayed for them and handed them audio recordings of previous Mummy GO messages and gospel tracts.
The service featured an intensive sermon on the ‘time of the end’ and ‘how God plans to destroy the world’.

Pastor Sam, a dark-skinned, stern-looking man dressed in the white garb of a senator, delivered the sermon in English. A Yoruba-language translator stationed at the entrance of the church helped him.
The pastor claimed that God’s wrath would start in any Nigerian state surrounded by water. He asked the congregation: “What surrounds the state of Lagos? How far is the beach from Iyana Ipaja’s bar? “
The parishioners, who were approximately 80 in number, were primarily middle-aged.
There were a series of prayer sections between the sermons. The prayer points were repetitive.
“The Lord said: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; Lord, have mercy on me and save my soul, ”the congregation used to shout and fall to the ground while praying.
Our reporter was undercover, but Mr. Victor was still skeptical about sharing any relevant information about the church due to the undue attention lately.
He said they also had to step up security measures.
“People on social media have given my mom the nickname ‘mommy GO’ to Mr. They think that we are illiterate and stupid, but the truth will always remain the truth despite everything, ”he said.
In passing, he revealed that the church has existed for more than 20 years in the exact place and that the founder’s husband is not a pastor.
