    Mama Rainbow (81 Years)

    Everybody knows Mama Rainbow. She is a veteran actress who is very much talented. Though her real name is Idowu Phillips, everyone calls her by her stage name, Mama Rainbow, a name coined for her by some Igbo people who could not call Osumare (meaning Rainbow in English), the name of her husband’s theatre group. Her husband who died on January 22, 1984, was called Augustine Ayanfemi Phillips.

    The big news is that Mama Rainbow is going to be 80 on 16th October 2022.

    But she does not look it at all. She walks unaided. She is fit as a fiddle. When she turned 70, ten years ago that was the same comment she got. Many say Mama Rainbow looks good for her age. Nothing in her looks or gait suggests that she is that far gone in age. At 80, she still appears in running adverts for big companies like Airtel.

    She said that apart from the death of her husband, the lowest point in her life was when her fourth child a female died.

    I got to attain this age because of God’s mercy. In addition, the almighty also gave me the wisdom of preserving my body and being moderate in all I have been doing. Our youths should emulate this too. They should learn to be God-fearing too.

    Mummy, you’ll live long to eat your labor. Your style of living is recommenddable. You’re an icon and a legend who has left her footprint 👣 in the soil that will be remembered forever.

    Mummy, continuing enjoyng your old age. We love you passionately and unconditionally.
