Nigerian movie icon Olu Jacobs is not dead. This is according to his wife, Joke Silva who released a statement via her Instagram story on Monday, August 29. “Good day everyone, trust all is going well.

On Wednesday, she shared a photo of herself on Instagram, sans baby bump, although she didn’t announce the birth of her child. “Mama. Getting back into the swing of things is wholeheartedly the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, but I am trying to exercise patience & kindness with myself, being present in every moment on this new journey,” she wrote. On July 17, Stephanie and her beau Hungani announced their pregnancy on social media, stating that they were “beyond thrilled and excited” to share the moment with their fans and followers.
Earlier in the year, the couple shocked South Africa when they announced they suffered a miscarriage. On their YouTube channel Stephanie revealed that, out of excitement, she had already started recording her first scan at the doctor for her husband, who couldn’t be with her when she received the sad news. She said she was diagnosed with a blighted ovum.
Congratulations to the new parents.

Valencia has completed the signing of veteran striker Edinson Cavani on a free transfer, the club announced Monday. The Uruguay star has signed a two-year contract with the Spanish side, rejecting interest from Boca Juniors and Villarreal to join Los Che. He will earn around €2 million per season in La Liga.
The 35-year-old was snapped up in a free transfer after he left Manchester United during the summer. Cavani’s contract at Old Trafford came to an end last season and he described it as a “bitter” closing to his career at Old Trafford. Cavani’s signing was announced less than 30 minutes before the team’s La Liga clash against Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan could make his debut on Sunday when they host Getafe.
