Nollywood actor and comedian Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has welcomed a child with his partner, fashion entrepreneur Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, widely recognized as CEO Luminee. The couple announced the joyous news on social media, sharing heartfelt maternity photos and videos to mark the arrival of their newborn. This development comes just a few months after Baba Ijesha’s release from prison, where he had been serving a sentence for a crime involving a child.
In a public statement, Luminee expressed deep gratitude and joy over the birth of their baby, calling it a divine blessing and a life-changing moment. She praised Baba Ijesha as a kind-hearted and exceptional individual, emphasizing that becoming parents was a gift they cherish deeply. The fashion designer also revealed that the couple had chosen to keep their relationship private for an extended period, prioritizing their personal lives away from public scrutiny.
Luminee reaffirmed her commitment to Baba Ijesha, declaring her enduring love and appreciation for him despite the challenges they have faced. Her message resonated with many fans, though it also sparked a wave of mixed reactions across social media platforms. While some users offered warm congratulations, others questioned the timing of the pregnancy, noting that Luminee had appeared visibly pregnant in videos shared months before Baba Ijesha’s release.
Actress Nkechi Blessing weighed in on the situation, expressing surprise and curiosity about how the relationship unfolded. She commented, “I suppose type congratulations Abi? But then, as how, Congratulations,” highlighting the public’s confusion. Other users, like @mummy_kaira_na_kaito, pointed out that Luminee had been heavily pregnant in previous posts, suggesting the baby may not have been born recently.
Some social media commenters voiced strong criticism, particularly regarding Baba Ijesha’s past criminal conviction. One user wrote, “How can you as a woman, have a baby with this person knowing his crime, you had a CHILD with someone who committed such a visceral crime to another child, Ka Chineke chebe anyi ka ekwensu ghara iduba anyi n’olulu, ha.” Others urged Luminee to protect her daughter and personal assets, with @learnwithjudith advising, “Whatever you’re doing with that man in the name of love, protect your daughter and your assets.”
Despite the controversy, the couple remains focused on celebrating their new family and embracing this chapter of life. Their announcement has sparked conversations about love, redemption, and personal choices in the public eye. As Baba Ijesha and Luminee step into parenthood, their journey continues to draw attention, raising questions about second chances and the complexities of relationships in the spotlight.
