- This picture right here got everyone emotional before so much more was explained by his beautiful wife days later. The name Olu Jackob without a doubt is popular in the Nollywood industry. And when you think of an A-list star, the veteran actor easily comes to mind, simply because he commands a high level of respect with his charisma, authoritative voice and Arora, especially in movies.
The England-trained versatile actor with an impressive track record of over 50 years in the industry gave Nigerians some of the best stellar performances to date, acting like a king or the wise one in various movies.
Sadly, in the past few years, rumours spread like wildfire that Olu Jacob has passed on on several occasions. This is coming after a long absence in public eyes and in the Nollywood film industry.
However, recently he showed up during his wife's 60th birthday celebration of life. Again on November 13 at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), where he was presented with a lifetime achievement award.
People, however, pointed out how frail and confused he looked despite looking dapper and smart. He was being assisted by his wife and son, who almost babysat him throughout the event.
His wife of over 36 years, Joek Silver, debunked rumours about her 79-year-old husband's life and health over the years. The 60-year-old finally spoke out for the first time during an exclusive interview with Jideonwo Chude and revealed some heartbreaking news about the fragile state of her loving husband's health.
This will be the first time Joke Silver is speaking on the sad issue that has got many worried. She revealed that Sir Olu Jacob has dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)

For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health. This couple exemplifies what love and what a true marriage and family should be. Daddy Olu Jacobs is a blessed man among men. Quintessential. Legendary. Onyeka Onwenu once described aunty Joke as an institution. You truly are. You have shown the world godly examples. More grace and love!
Yes. It's for better for worse. But couples should learn to make friends with each other, and be faithful to one another, so as to sustain the relationship when it gets tough.
I miss him in nollywood. I miss his voice, acting and grammar 😁. May the almighty keep him in good health. May God also bless his beautiful wife for being their for him when he needed her most.
Oh yes, his family is doing a great job. GOD bless Aunty Joke for being a true companion, mother, and friend living up to the task and leading an exemplary life for the young people. Uncle Olu is a fulfilled man. I love love this beautiful love story 🥰
He's one of my favorite actors. Blessings always 😊😁 watching from the USA 😍😍🤩🙏🙏
Unfortunately dementia can affect old people. It’s not reversible and not curable. The only thing that can be done is surround that person with love, gentleness, care, and family. He is taken care of. He is loved. His wife is the epitome of class and resilience. Sending my love to the family and my respect to our dear papa Olu Jacobs and his wonderful Joke Silva ❤️
Wow! I thank God for the wife. This is truly true love. A lesson for the up coming generation. More strength and grace for you ma. May God see him through.
The is a Lady! Faithful, loyal, loving and supportive to the end! I respect and solute you Joke!
Sir J showered her with love. So she appreciate and is reciprocating
God bless them. I can relate to their circumstances as my Dad had similar dementia before he passed on 9 yrs ago at the same Age of 79 as Sir Olu Jacobs is now. It is a challenge but let's thank God for his grace in his life up till now.

Sorry to say, but people don't 'recover' from dementia.

African Glitz, Keep the good work up, Now I believe they're met to be together, It's because since they got married they've been in an everlasting institution , It's because married is a study that even takes more time than every other studies in academics areas. When it's start getting worse with one of the couple them the friction connecting the affections will start showing physical that's only when them encounter sad moment. I pray God almighty will grant Joke silver more strength for the undying love she has for Sir Olu Jacob's 🙏🙏🙏
Wow, indeed the wife is a virtuous woman. and the children are godly indeed. May God bless you for taking care of their Daddy Olu Jacobs.
God will continue to keep him strong
He is a great actor
This story is well reported, Kudos to you!
Nice
Father God,pls heal him completely in Jesus Mighty Name.Amen
Sir Olu Jackob a man with a voice of command just seeing his name on a movie and you know it is an amazing movie i just love him,I;m so sad of his sickness i will keep him in my prayers and to his family stay strong keep the faith.

papa olu
ITS NORMAL TO BE OLD WITH OLDHOOD CHALLENGES, EVERYONE OUGHT TO UNDERSTAND...
So sad
Hi African Glitz TV, we are experimenting with thought energy: We want you to imagine 1x daily the global round-the-clock temp @ 23.8* or higher to MASH the artificial winter season. Will you help us? Thanks in advance.
jacob papa africa
I pray for God healing in Jesus name 🙏
They keep on talking about his progression in the movie industry but what about knowing Jesus.
If Olu Jacob hasn't known Jesus, they should start praying for him.
Jesus will minister to him.
What if he’s someone who just lives his life doesn’t get too much of Jesus.doesnt mean he will burn in hell
Who tell u that he doesn't. Dementia is not a sin
Do you have a problem with his progression in the movie industry? How do you know he doesn't know Jesus? The only exercise people like you do is to be jumping into conclusion. Find a better way to evangelise.
Virtuous woman.wow
My name is Gladys I never knew he is gone. I want nollywood to know that have lost a great man. May God 🙏 give you a replacement of this kind of hero . RIP Daddy Jacobs. May your journey be smooth in Jesus name
He is not dead my goodness listen carefully
Ilked royal palace
But least give him a clean shave .. I am just saying
