A now-viral video has captured Olanrewaju Omiyinka, the Nigerian actor better known as Baba Ijesha, taking aim at his critics with a new slogan: “Are you an adult?”
In the clip, Baba Ijesha is surrounded by fans eager to take
photos with him. As they crowd around, he asks whether anyone present is over 18, then offers advice to the public to be mindful of age before agreeing to take pictures with anyone.
“Are you an adult? If you’re over 18, you’re permitted to
take a picture with me,” he said, after which the fans with him burst into
laughter.
“When they come closer to you, they want to take a picture
or greet you, ask them if they are an adult first.”
"Are you an adult? If you're above 18 years old, then you're permitted to take a picture with me. Whenever anyone comes close and wants to snap a photo with you, ask them if they are an adult first."

Baba Ijesha’s reemergence comes months after his release
from prison. He completed his sentence in November 2025, having been convicted
on charges that included indecent treatment of a child and sexual assault.
In July 2022, a Lagos high court sentenced a 16-year
sentence, though the terms ran concurrently, resulting in about five years
behind bars.
Throughout his imprisonment, the actor maintained his
innocence. In April 2024, he claimed he had been set up and was merely “acting
according to a script” provided by a colleague.
He later released a song titled ‘Eniwaye Daran,’ detailing
the events that led to his arrest. He alleged that comedian Princess had lured
him to her home under the guise of a meal and a film role, only to exploit his
fame in what he called a calculated scheme.
Last week, Baba Ijesha announced the arrival of his child
with his wife, Abiodun Tokunbo.
