Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has sparked mixed reactions online after a video showing him performing during a church programme surfaced on social media.
While some social media users praised his appearance and described it as a positive development, others questioned the decision to feature the actor at the event because of controversies surrounding his past.
The video has generated heated discussions, with Nigerians expressing different views about whether the actor should be welcomed and given opportunities to participate in public events.
Some users argued that everyone deserves an opportunity for a second chance, particularly in a religious setting.
Others, however, maintained that offering someone a second chance should not mean ignoring or rewriting their past.
One social media user wrote, “People deserve a second chance. If church can’t welcome people, then where else should they go?”
Another argued that the concern was not about Baba Ijesha attending church but about people behaving as though his history never existed.
Others defended his appearance, saying he was simply invited to perform, while some questioned whether celebrity performances should be a major feature of church programmes.
The development has continued to generate debate online, with opinions largely divided between those supporting his participation and those who believe his past controversies should remain a consideration.
