Idowu Philips, also known as “Iya Rainbow” in a chat with Inside Nollywood said she is very fulfilled in her ministry and will still act if called upon to do so.
who used to keep us glued to the screen has now dedicated her time to the work of the gospel.
The actress cum cleric recently featured in telecommunication company Airtel commercial alongside Yoruba actor Abdulateef Adedimeji.
Speaking on her acting career with Inside Nollywood, she said:
“I’m still interested in acting; and as long as I am alive, I still have action in my body. If anybody calls me, I can act in any type of movie except as a prostitute, and I can’t put tattoos on my body, or wear short, revealing dresses. I really miss my acting days. When we go to locations to shoot movies, we enjoy ourselves and interact with friends. We sleep in hotels and eat whatever we like in a relaxed atmosphere. I also enjoy myself in the church, but we do more of fasting and praying, and lots of vigils.
About her ministry work, she said:
“It is the work of God that I’m doing now. I go from mountain tops to pray, to America, London, Canada, and other countries to minister. I find joy being in the ministry. It is easy, and at the same time, not easy because it is a congregation of different types of people. People come to you with various problems, and it is my prayer that God should intervene in whatever issue they bring to me.”
