Wale Jana Reacts To Baba Ijesha’s Baby Announcement, Describes It As ‘Proof of God’s Mercy’

Nigerian entrepreneur Adewale Aladejana, best known as ‘Wale Jana’, has reacted to the debate surrounding Baba Ijesha’s recent baby announcement, describing the actor’s new family as a reflection of divine mercy.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Jana cited Romans 9:15, saying God shows mercy and compassion to whomever He chooses. He noted that Baba Ijesha’s situation went beyond allegations, pointing out that the actor was tried, convicted and served a prison sentence.

Jana also said Baba Ijesha married a successful woman and that the couple now share a son. According to him, the development shows that God does not seek public approval before extending mercy.

He added that many people expected the actor to remain rejected for life. However, he said mercy can change any situation. Jana also encouraged those facing challenges, saying restoration remains possible regardless of past mistakes.

He wrote:

“Romans 9:15 “For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

“When I saw this post, my mouth went because of Baba Ijesha. You know there’s a difference when people accuse you of something, and there is no proof to it, but when you take a matter to court, and you are pronounced guilty, and you go to prison for it, then it’s a totally different ball game. Baba Ijesha is a registered sex offender, but that has not stopped God from showing him mercy or giving him a new beginning.

“Listen, if you can’t find a wife to marry, you need to pray for mercy! Baba Ijesha didn’t just marry any woman; his wife is an accomplished, successful woman, and now they have a son!

“It is also proof that God doesn’t consult men to show mercy; He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. Left to many of us Baba Ijesha should be cancelled for life but when mercy says no you don’t have a choice than to admire the wonders of God! I don’t know where you are or what you have been through, but God can show you mercy and lift your head again!”
