Baba Ijesha sparks debate after performing at church programme

Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has sparked mixed reactions online after a video showing him performing at a church programme surfaced on social media.

The actor’s appearance at the event has divided social media users, with some welcoming what they described as a positive development in his life, while others questioned the decision to feature him at the church programme given the controversies surrounding him.

Supporters argued that everyone deserves an opportunity for redemption and that the church should be open to people seeking a fresh start.

“People deserve a second chance. If church can’t welcome people, then where else should they go?” @adebukola_x wrote.

However, another user, @Tifeh_01, argued that the issue was not Baba Ijesha attending church but the tendency to overlook his past.

“The issue isn’t him being in church. The issue is people acting like history never happened,” the user said.

Others defended his participation, with @IamMorenikeji stating, “Baba Ijesha was simply invited to perform. Some of you are taking it too far.”

@TheOnlyKenny_ also questioned the decision, saying, “Church should focus on worship, not celebrity appearances.”

Meanwhile, @oluwaseun___ noted that the actor continues to have supporters despite the controversies surrounding him.

“Whether you like him or not, the man still has supporters,” the user wrote.

The video has continued to generate debate, with social media users expressing different opinions about forgiveness, accountability and the role of public figures in church programmes.
