Baba Ijesha, Wife Display Affection at Son’s Naming and Thanksgiving Ceremony in Lagos

Convicted Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, and his fashion designer wife, Abiodun Folashade, also known as CEO Luminee, have attracted widespread attention following their public display of affection at their son’s naming and thanksgiving ceremony in Lagos.

The colourful event, held on Thursday, brought together several Nollywood actors, entertainers, socialites and other prominent personalities.

However, the couple’s romantic moments during the celebration became one of the major highlights of the occasion.

Videos circulating on social media ahead of the ceremony showed Baba Ijesha and his wife sharing affectionate moments as they prepared for their son’s special day.

The clips generated considerable reactions from fans and social media users.

At the event, the couple continued to express their affection publicly, exchanging kisses in the presence of guests.

Luminee was also seen staying close to her husband throughout the celebration.

Baba Ijesha, who appeared in a traditional outfit, equally entertained guests with a special musical performance.

During his appearance on stage, the actor made remarks that some social media users interpreted as a response to his critics, further attracting attention.

Another memorable moment came during the cake-cutting session, when the actor dipped his hand into the cake and fed his wife, drawing excitement from guests and reactions from online viewers.

The ceremony attracted an impressive gathering of Nollywood personalities, including Mercy Aigbe, Omowunmi Ajiboye, Regina Chukwu, Sola Kosoko, Yinka Quadri, Jide Kosoko, Laide Bakare, Foluke Daramola, Olaiya Igwe, Sikiratu Sindodo, Dayo Amusa, Moyo Lawal, Eniola Ajao, Yetunde Wunmi, Toyosi Adesanya, Peju Ogunmola, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Kemi Korede and Bimbo Afolayan.

Other notable guests included former Big Brother Naija housemates Imisi and Phyna, socialite MC Oluomo, Abbey Emmi and Olori Naomi, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife.

The presence of some personalities associated with actress Iyabo Ojo also attracted attention.

However, their attendance at the ceremony does not necessarily indicate their position on the controversy surrounding the actor’s past conviction.

The celebration was organised in honour of the couple’s son, King Kagar Omiyinka, who was born in June 2026.

The occasion combined the traditional naming ceremony with a thanksgiving service.

The couple had earlier announced the event, describing it as a royal celebration and inviting friends, colleagues, fans and supporters to share in their joy.

Baba Ijesha was released from prison in November 2025 after serving a sentence following his conviction in 2022 for sexual assault involving a minor.

His personal life has remained a subject of public interest, particularly following his relationship with Luminee and the couple’s announcement of their son’s birth in June 2026.
