Actor Baba Ijesha, known for his role as James Olarenwaju, announced on social media that the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, presented him with a new car, luxury items, and a chieftaincy title following the birth of his son. The announcement came after a series of online reactions to the couple's public announcement of their son's birth, which had gone viral.
