The excited mother of two via her verified Instagram page shared the good news on Monday with pictures of maternity photos featuring herself, her husband and their first child, Max.
In the caption, Joke expressed deep gratitude to God for the new addition to their family. “Awesome God! BRB,” she wrote.
Her post was quickly flooded with congratulatory messages from her colleagues and fans alike.
Actress Omowunmi Ajiboye commented, “Thank you, Jesus. Congratulations mine.”
Wumi Toriola wrote, “All glory to God. Congratulations dearie.”
Adeniyi Johnson said, “Congratulations, my sister.”
Sotayo Gaga also added, “Congratulations, mine.”

Meanwhile, Nigerian comedian and actor Woli Arole recently criticised the trend of ‘woke’ women opting for surrogacy despite not having any fertility issue.
In a post on Instagram, Arole expressed his belief that it is a blessing for women to carry their babies in their wombs, as ordained by God.
Arole admonished women not to be swayed by “wokeness,” which he seems to imply is a deviation from traditional values. According to him, surrogacy and IVF are only justified in cases where there are medical reasons. He emphasized that women’s bodies are “God’s temple” and that they should not claim ownership or make decisions about their reproductive choices based on personal preferences.
