The couple, who recently welcomed their first child together, announced that the event would take place on August 27, 2026.

According to a flyer shared on the couple's respective Instagram pages, the male Aso Ebi package costs N250,000, while the female package is priced at N350,000.

Several internet users noted that the prices are similar to those announced by Nollywood stars Lateef Adedimeji and his wife, Mo'Bimpe, for the Aso Ebi at their forthcoming baby dedication.

Others argued that buying Aso Ebi remains optional and that those who cannot afford it are under no obligation to attend in matching attire.

The naming ceremony comes weeks after Baba Ijesha and Luminee announced the birth of their son.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the actor, who was previously imprisoned after being convicted in a child sexual abuse case, confirmed the arrival of his baby in June.

Luminee also celebrated the birth on social media, describing herself as overwhelmed with joy.

She praised her husband, calling him "one in a million" and stating that he has a pure heart.

"There's a widespread disease going on in this country. I can't fully explain It is as though we have normalized abnormality. Public shame has diminished, consequences no longer carry the weight they once did, and social values that traditionally restrained excess or misconduct are steadily eroding. People who should reflect, show remorse, or exercise restraint instead celebrate themselves without regard for the broader social climate. We're cooked"
