The image, shared by Tokunbo, popularly known as the CEO of Luminee, ahead of their son's birthday on November 12, showed Baba Ijesha wearing a Catholic priest's outfit, while his wife appeared in a nun's habit. Their young son was also featured in the photograph.
The post sparked mixed reactions, with some social media users appreciating the creativity behind the concept, while others criticised the couple for what they considered an inappropriate use of Catholic religious garments.
Some critics argued that using religious outfits for a playful digital photoshoot was disrespectful to the Catholic faith, urging the couple to respect the beliefs and traditions of others.
Others, however, appeared unbothered by the concept, describing it as a creative way to celebrate their son's birthday.
Reacting to the photograph, Instagram user @magdalane wrote, "This woman is dumb."
@anniebellyn commented, "I am disappointed in you," while @tiatasiic described the designer as a "nuisance."
Another user, @ellaminchis, wrote, "This is entirely inappropriate and reflects a clear double standard. Why not draw inspiration from your own Celestial Church rather than using Catholic priesthood and sisterhood as a material for ridicule? This is not acceptable."
Similarly, @nk3chie wrote, "Wrong, wrong. Respect people's faith. Smh."
Other reactions included, "This is wrong, using a Catholic priest and nun outfit is out of place and ridicule of the Catholic Church… this is so wrong!"
Another user described the outfit as inappropriate, while others questioned the concept, with one writing, "Rev Fr out and Rev Sis outfit???"
One commenter also described the photograph as "very distasteful", while another questioned the meaning behind the outfits and criticised the couple's choice.
