Celebrity businessman and entrepreneur Adewale Aladejana, widely known as Wale Jana, has waded into the fierce social media storm surrounding actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka (Baba Ijesha) and his wife, CEO Luminee, following the announcement of their newborn son. As the internet remains heavily divided over the rollout of the celebration, Jana took to Instagram to firmly defend the couple, describing their new chapter as a profound manifestation of divine grace.
Quoting Romans 9:15—“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion”—the businessman noted that Baba Ijesha’s path to redemption represents a unique spiritual case study. Jana acknowledged that the actor is a registered sex offender who went through a full judicial trial, was convicted, and served his full prison sentence, which concluded in November 2025. However, he emphasized that serving legal time has not barred the actor from experiencing a genuine fresh start in his personal life.
Directly addressing the widespread public backlash and calls for the actor to be permanently ostracized, Jana argued that human opinions cannot veto a turnaround orchestrated by God. He pointed out that despite the severe public trial, Baba Ijesha did not just marry any ordinary partner, but successfully wedded an accomplished, high-profile fashion entrepreneur, with whom he now shares a healthy son. “Left to many of us, Baba Ijesha should be cancelled for life, but when mercy says no, you don’t have a choice than to admire the wonders of God,” Jana wrote, utilizing the highly discussed personal update to encourage his followers that restoration is possible regardless of how deep a person’s past failures may be.
