Many people know Mama D.A. Fasoyin as a revered gospel singer, choir leader, and matriarch of C.A.C. Good Women Choir Ibadan. However, beyond her powerful voice and enduring music ministry lies another lesser-known gift—acting. Long before she became a gospel music icon, Mama Fasoyin had already discovered her love for drama.

Growing up in her native town of Oyo, Mama D.A. Fasoyin was actively involved in both singing and acting through the St. Michael’s Anglican Church Choir and Drama Group. From a young age, she participated in church plays, musical dramas, and stage presentations that combined storytelling with spiritual lessons. Although singing eventually took center stage in her life, acting remained a passion quietly nurtured over the years.

Even at the age of 86, and despite her demanding ministerial schedule, Mama Fasoyin continues to make time for her second love. She has featured in several Christian movies, playing both major and supporting roles with grace, depth, and conviction. Her performances are marked by realism and spiritual insight, reflecting her long walk with God and deep understanding of human struggles.

One of her most recent movie appearances is in the Christian film “Man Overboard,” written by Tope Ogundipe and directed by Austine Awulonu. The movie tells a sobering story of an adulterous pastor whose pride, ego, and refusal to seek help eventually destroy his family and ministry. It also exposes the deceptive façade maintained by both the pastor and his wife, who pretend to the outside world that all is well while their home quietly falls apart.

In the film, Mama D.A. Fasoyin plays the role of the pastor’s wife’s mother—a wise and concerned parent who consistently counsels her daughter to seek God’s intervention in her troubled marriage. Unfortunately, the daughter ignores this godly advice and resorts to self-help solutions that ultimately backfire. The pastor’s continued unrepentant behavior and refusal to accept correction lead to tragic consequences, including the loss of his last child and the collapse of his ministry.

“Man Overboard” is more than just a movie; it is a mirror reflecting challenges facing some pastors and church leaders today. Through her role, Mama Fasoyin once again ministers—this time through drama—calling attention to the dangers of pride, secrecy, and spiritual negligence.

So yes, it is absolutely true: Mama D.A. Fasoyin is not only a gospel music legend but also a gifted actress, using every available platform to preach truth, encourage repentance, and point hearts back to God.
