My Wife Set Me Up – Nollywood Actor, Baba Ijesha Reveals How His Marriage Crashed

Olanrewaju Omiyinka, the veteran Yoruba actor, has opened up about the circumstances that led to the breakdown of his marriage.

In a podcast interview on Talk to B with actress Biola Adebayo, he described how his support for his wife’s educational plans abroad led to unexpected heartbreak.

According to Baba Ijesha, their marriage initially started smoothly without any conflicts.

Baba Ijesha said when his wife expressed a wish to pursue a master’s degree in the United Kingdom, he took it upon himself to handle all the preparations.

He bought her plane ticket, helped with her visa, and took care of everything needed to ensure her journey went smoothly.

However, he revealed that after she arrived in the UK, he learned that her reason for going was not truly academic.

Instead, the actor said she used the trip as a chance to reconnect with another man. The revelation left him shocked and marked the painful end of their union.

He said: “There was no problem with my marriage from the start. After the wedding, my wife told me she wanted to go for her master’s in the UK. So I bought her ticket, processed her visa, and did everything necessary.

"She then left Nigeria for the UK. Unknown to me, it was a setup. She had another man she was dating and wanted to go and have fun with.”
