"As a traditionalist and as a mother, there is no how I can go to the village without going to the village deity to appreciate them," she said.
In the video, she showed how she communicates with her deity, noting that traditionalists don't need to shout or make noise to communicate with their gods, unlike Christians.
She aimed a dig at Jesus Christ, saying her deity is not deaf and dumb like the God Christians worship.
The mum further disclosed that she took her children to her village deity to prevent them from seeking prayers from pastors or Jesus in the future.
"You see how we talk to our ancestors. We don't shout, we don't make noise, we don't kabash because they are not blind that they cannot see. They are not deaf and dumb like Jesus and God. So, they see, they know everything about us..." she said.
