‘None of my exes are pedophiles’ – Actress, Nkechi Blessing slams trolls attacking her over reaction to convicted actor Baba Ijesha and CEO Luminee’s Marriage and child announcement

Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has hit back at critics who attacked her for questioning the shocking marriage and child announcement of convicted actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, widely known as Baba Ijesha, and fashion designer Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, famously called CEO Luminee.

The internet was thrown into a frenzy on Monday, June 15, when Baba Ijesha and CEO Luminee shared maternity shoot photos on Instagram, confirming they had welcomed a baby boy. The news stunned social media users, drawing mixed reactions ranging from warm congratulations to outright disbelief as Baba Ijesha was released from jail in November 14, 2025.

Reacting to the announcement on CEO Luminee’s Instagram page, Blessing openly questioned the news. She commented, asking if she was expected to write “congratulations.” She later posted a video displaying her shock, wondering aloud if the images and videos were generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Nkechi’s skepticism quickly drew fire from critics. Trolls swarmed her page, blasting her for her negative stance. Several commenters questioned her moral authority to judge CEO Luminee’s marital choices, claiming the actress had “changed men like clothes” in her own past. 

Refusing to back down, Blessing fired back via her Instagram page. She admitted to her dating history but delivered a stinging defense of her past choices.

“I indeed have dated men,” Blessing stated. “But at least none of them could be said to be a pedophile.”

The retort references Baba Ijesha’s highly publicized July 2022 conviction for the sexual assault and indecent treatment of a minor. The actor was released from the Kirikiri Maximum Correctional Centre on Friday, November 14, 2025, after completing a concurrent 5-year prison sentence.
