Veteran Nollywood actor, Olu Jacobs, marked his 82nd birthday on Thursday, July 13, 2023, just two weeks after false rumors of his passing spread on social media.
His wife, Joke Silva, took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone, sharing a heartwarming video featuring Jacobs in a customized house coat.
She wrote, “82 just like that. Agba ko ni nira l’agbara Jesu. Happy birthday and have an amazing year ahead, my darling… Sir J of life @olujacobs (loving his customized housecoat).”

Celebrities and fans quickly flooded social media with congratulatory messages.

God bless you immensely.” Chioma Akpotha added, “A living legend! Happy birthday, Sir. We love you.”
The birthday celebration comes as a relief after rumors of Jacobs’ death spread on social media two weeks ago, which were later debunked by his family.
