Her teachings dey always tok about tins wey pipo dey do wey go land dem for hell – Di videos don cause reactions for social media. Many pipo don receive dem with shock and wonder weda di woman dey preach for real or na just comedy skit.

“Na new title be dat. I no feel bad, why I go feel bad? Na so Evangelist Olufunmilayo tok about di name ‘Mummy G.O’ wey pipo give her.

“Wen pipo dey help me, you no know say everybody wey hear bad news, dem go still hear good news. Na pesin wey know you dey greet you, pesin wey no know you no go know weda you dey exist. Some no even know say I dey exist, now dem come tell dem many many bad tins about me, but di wise among dem go wan hear di truth about wetin dem hear from dia dem go know me.”

“I bin dey work for darkness den, doing all sorts of tins in di church, attacking church, molesting di work of God, molesting pastors, I bin arrest pastor wey tell me say God dey call me but wen Jesus come start to dey reveal imsef to me, I get no choice I get to destroy all those power.

‘Dem edit most of di videos – No be me’

Some of di videos wey don trend in di last weeks don make many pipo shock and dey wonder.

But Evangelist Funmilayo tell BBC Pidgin say most of di videos and memes wey dey circulate no be di true picture of wetin she tok. She deny say she even tok some of dem.

“No be me, most of di videos dey edited and all those memes. Even Lucifer, Satan if dem bring am today to become pastor e go tok all those tins? Even Lucifer no go fit say all those tins tok less of pesin wey dey call imsef holiness preacher. Di pipo wey dey do dis tins don start for over eight years.”

‘Footballers no go make heaven’

Di evangelist also dey quick to accept say she teach some of those tins wey go viral.

Like her teaching about women make-up wetin dem dey wear and even pipo wey dey play football.

“E get sometin wey we call modest, I don travel go many Muslim kontris, you no go see any of di Muslim women wear anytin wey go open dia body, even dia air hostess di way dem dress, you go know say dis pipo fear God.

“All dis tins I dey tok wey be like crime on social media, 50 years ago, anybody wey be elderly pesin go support me, no woman fit enta church without covering head, di God wey no allow woman enter church dat time wey e no cover hair don travel or e don change?… becos I preach old message I don turn criminal.”

As for football she say:

“Many pipo on social media dey tok about am, No be only me dey tok about am, google god of soccer you go see am, why I no tok about oda games? Wetin I tok about am wen I still belong to di oda side why dem no publish dat one? Dem just wan ginger pipo wey love soccer against me. Why I tok am, becos of events wey wan hapun very soon wey go introduce Anti-Christ into di whole world, e go come through di World Cup dats all,” na wetin she claim,

“Some pipo say wetin I dey tok no dey inside bible, shey bible say make we no smoke, e no tok so but if your pastor carri Igbo dey smoke for pulpit dey preach say Jesus is coming, you go believe am? Why we dey against am and e no dey bible? Why you believe am? Sense of human make understand say some tins no dey right.

“Di only way to make heaven na to obey God,” she add.

Wen BBC Pidgin reach out to di President of di Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, (PFN) dem say dem no know Evangelist Olufunmilayo.
