Videos from Baba Ijesha and CEO Luminee's son's naming ceremony and thanksgiving party are making rounds online, and one guest in particular has become the talk of the moment: Naomi Silekunola, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife.
The event was held at White Stone Event Centre in Ikeja, Lagos, on Thursday, November 12, to celebrate the couple's baby boy, whose arrival they announced on June 15.

The gathering drew a wide cross-section of entertainers, socialites and public figures, but it was Olori Silekunola's entrance that commanded the most attention.
Dressed in an all-white outfit, the former queen arrived with her entourage, prompting guests to reach for their phones to capture the moment. A separate clip showed her warmly exchanging pleasantries with attendees before settling into her seat.
Nollywood turns up for Baba Ijesha
The ceremony also served as something of a Nollywood reunion. Veteran actors Jide Kosoko, Yinka Quadri and Olaiya Igwe were among the familiar faces spotted at the venue. Mercy Aigbe, Laide Bakare, Foluke Daramola, Eniola Ajao, Moyo Lawal, Yomi Fash-Lanso and Regina Chukwu were also in attendance, alongside Peju Ogunmola, Sola Kosoko, Toyosi Adesanya, Kemi Korede, Bimbo Afolayan, Omowunmi Ajiboye, Sikiratu Sindodo, Dayo Amusa, Baba Elesho, Fali Werepe and Yetunde Wunmi.
MC Oluomo, Phyna and Imisi also present
Beyond the movie industry, the event attracted former Lagos State Parks Management Committee chairman Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly known as MC Oluomo. Former Big Brother Naija winners Phyna and Imisi rounded out the high-profile guest list.
The celebration carries added significance given Baba Ijesha's recent history. The actor was released from prison in November 2025 after serving time following his conviction in a child assault case. The naming ceremony marks a new chapter for him and CEO Luminee, who is said to have connections to the former Olori through her work as a designer at the palace.
