CEO Luminee welcomes a baby boy with her husband, Baba Ijesha exactly 7 months after he was released from prison and the news has sparked mixed reactions online.
If you could recall, Baba Ijesha, a Nollywood actor, was convicted of secsal @$$@ult and ind€ç€nt treatment of a min0r. He was arrested in April 2021 after being caught on CCTV m0l€$ting a 14-year-old girl who was the foster child of Nigerian comedienne "Princess".
He served a 5-year-sentence and was released in November, 2025. His vvife, Luminee gave birth 7 months after his release but pregnancy is supposed to last for 9 months, what exactly happened?
VVomen are concerned why Luminee, a successful fashion designer and celebrity stylist would agree to have a child with a convicted secs 0ff€ñd€r.
Other people feel like he deserves grace since he has been pvni$hēd for the çr!mē.
There are two key lessons I need you to pay attention to;
1. Baba Ijesha has a dent on his reputation yet it didn't stop him from marrying a highly successful entrepreneur like Luminee. It kind of cemented the fact that men are the prize. Not applauding what he did, just making an observation.
2. A person's past matters. VVomen care about pasts no matter how much they try to downplay it when they are the ones in the situation. Baba Ijesha is a secs 0ff€ñd€r who did time for his çr!m€s. There's a chance he learnt his lessons, he has evolved, he knows better, he is a changed person...but No! VVomen can't gloss over it like it didn't happen. They don't buy that "he has evolved crap."
You know! When people called Tonto's sudden born again transformation, a hoax, vvomen claimed that whatever she did was in the past and who's without sin should cast the first stone....and all that nonsense.
When people reacted to Simi's past tweets of alleged secsual @$$@ult of çhīldrēñ , vvomen said it was a long time ago and she is a different person.
But Ijesha Baba will continue to pay for what he did because vvomen will always remind him of that.
The takeaway is this; the past matters, if you decide to move past it, let it be your decision and not because some girl convinced you that a real man does not judge a vvoman's past.
