Why I Kept My Marriage Private — Baba Ijesha’s Wife

Abiodun Folashade Tokunbo, wife of Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has explained why she chose to keep her marriage away from public attention.

NEWSNGR reports that Tokunbo, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Anjy Luminee Couture, a Lagos-based fashion brand popularly known as House of Luminee, said privacy remained important to her peace and personal well-being.

She made this known in a post on Instagram, where she shared a photograph showing her journey with her husband over the years.

In the post, Tokunbo expressed gratitude despite the challenges she had faced, saying 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.
