I Turned 78 But I Wasn’t Happy – Actress, Mama Rainbow Laments

Veteran actress and multi-faceted brand ambassador Mama Rainbow turned 78 earlier this month, she marked it by releasing some gorgeous photos of herself.

Mama Rainbow channeled her inner 30 year in the birthday photo shoot and it thrilled her fans.

However, the thespian had revealed in a recent interview with Seye Kehinde, that she was not the happiest despite the blessing of a new age, as many things had made her unhappy that on her birthday.

“Though, I thank God that I witnessed another year but I’m not happy.It’s the situation of the country. Nigeria is not peaceful. It’s not all the people that I invited that came and those that could make it did not spend up to 5min, why? Because they left their homes at 9 am they didn’t get to my place until 9 pm, so, they couldn’t stay long because they don’t know what they will face again.

What is happening outside now is not easy, and it’s all our responsibility to make sure that everything is back to normal. This is the time for us to fight.

I don’t blame those youths God is solidly behind them, that is why you see them coming out in numbers. We are suffering in this country. There is no work. There is no salary. Parents couldn’t afford their children’s school fees.

Tenants can’t pay Landlord. There is no food. What is our offence? What kind of life is this? I want everybody to listen to my New CD “Fellow Nigerians” It is prophetic and it’s happening already.”

The veteran actress however called out to the government to provide jobs for young men and women so as to eschew hoodlums generation.

“We are begging our government to help us. If our youths are well employed they won’t be causing Chaos here and there.”
