Baba Ijesha’s Wife Reveals Why She Kept Their Marriage Private
Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, wife of Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, explained her decision to keep their marriage away from public attention.
She made this known in an Instagram post, where she shared a photograph documenting their journey together over the years.
In the caption, Tokunbo expressed gratitude despite the challenges they had faced, noting that discretion in personal matters had helped her protect her peace.
She wrote, “Before and After. Aanu Ni! Oju ri! But Anu speaks. This right time to fly together. Privacy is peace to me.”
Her comments came shortly after Baba Ijesha announced that they had welcomed a baby boy together.
On Monday, the actor disclosed that he and Tokunbo had welcomed a son, praising her as his “ever beautiful wife, strong Jagaban,” and introducing the child as “King Kagar Omiyinka.”
Tokunbo revealed that the newborn is their first child together after 12 years of marriage, mentioning her daughter from a previous relationship, although it remains unclear whether the couple had been together for over a decade.
Tokunbo hails from Ijesha Isu in Ekiti State, where she was born as the sixth daughter in a family of eight.
She attended Hosanna Africa Primary School before proceeding to Methodist Girls High School for her secondary education.
She later obtained a National Diploma in Banking and Finance from The Polytechnic, Ibadan, and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Lagos State University.
In 2013, shortly after completing her final examinations at LASU, Tokunbo launched her fashion brand.
