Today is Nollywood actor, Gideon Okeke’s birthday, and he has said this is best birthday yet.

This is probably because he and his wife, Chidera, welcomed their first child together barely a week ago., although he had wanted to share his birthday with his baby.

The baby has since been named Ezra.

Gideon, who is also model and TV presenter took to his Instagram page early on Tuesday, posted a bare-chest picture with the caption: “It’s another G-Day!!! I’m only 16…with 20 years’ worth of working and living Experience.

BLESSED. GIFTED. BANKABLE.”

On another picture, he wrote: “I cried out to the Lord for “HELP”…and HE sends Me EZRA.

Now that you get My meaning… I look within Me and I see how Blessed He’s made Me, and yet again I’m in agreement with My Father when he named Me…ECHEZONACHI. (Don’t Forget God)

Best Birthday Yet.”

Gideon came to the public eye in 2006 when he appeared as a contestant on the first edition of Big Brother Nigeria. In 2008, Gideon later joined the cast of MNET TV series “Tinsel” on which he has been a regular.

He also acted in many stage plays, movies and TV series.
