Baba Ijesha Shrugs Off Critics in Viral Video With MC Oluomo

Baba Ijesha Dismisses Critics During Viral Meeting With MC Oluomo

Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has reportedly been seen in the company of MC Oluomo, the Chairman of the Lagos State Parks Management Committee and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress. In a video circulating online, the actor appeared cheerful and brushed aside his detractors, declaring, “Whatever they like let them say.”

Defiant Baba Ijesha Surfaces With MC Oluomo

According to reports, the clip shows Baba Ijesha smiling and chatting with the transport union leader, looking visibly at ease despite the wave of criticism that has trailed him since his release from prison in November 2025, following a conviction for the sexual assault of a minor.

The footage quickly went viral, drawing sharply divided reactions. Many Nigerians expressed shock and disappointment at seeing the actor in such high spirits, while others questioned why MC Oluomo would be seen associating with someone carrying his legal history. A different camp countered that Baba Ijesha has served his sentence and is entitled to a fresh start.

MC Oluomo has not addressed the encounter publicly, and it remains unknown whether the meeting was purely social or connected to any future plans. Baba Ijesha, who had largely stayed out of the spotlight since regaining his freedom, has offered no further explanation beyond his defiant remark in the video.

Public Forgiveness Remains Elusive for the Actor

Baba Ijesha was a familiar face in Yoruba-language cinema before his conviction, and his case became one of the most closely followed legal battles in Nigerian entertainment. His return to public life was always likely to be contentious, and this latest appearance shows how every step he takes is now weighed against his past.

The episode also reflects a wider debate that often follows public figures after serious convictions: whether society should prioritise accountability or reintegration. His visible closeness to a prominent political figure suggests he may be seeking new alliances as he attempts to rebuild, though the backlash indicates that public forgiveness, if it comes at all, will not come quickly.
