Nollywood actress Joke Silva has penned an appreciation post to the public following her husband’s birthday celebration.

Tontrends reported a day back that the ailing veteran had turned 82 and had received an outpour of love from Nigerians. His wife, Joke Silva, celebrated his birthday with a unique post. She had shared a video collage that featured Olu Jacobs at different points in his prime, and at the end, there was a clip of the veteran actor just hanging out in a lounge.

Now taking to her Instagram page, Joke Silva penned an appreciation post, revealing that she had received 4,000 messages and still counting. She pondered how she could say thank you to the public. Appreciating the public, she rained prayers on them.

“You fans, family and friends of Sir J…Mr Oludotun Bayeiwu Jacobs(MFR)@_olujacobs knows how to love on him shaaa…Wow…over 4,000 messages and still counting!!!! How does one say thank you in such a way that it is commensurate to the gift for which one is appreciative? In a broken world, reaching out with compassion, appreciation and joy …wishing people well …confirms that our shared humanity is not lost.” May the Lord, the God of our ancestors, increase each and everyone a thousand times and bless you as He has promised (Deut1:11). “On behalf of the Jacobs clan, thank you and a resounding AMEN to all the prayers”.

A week before the veteran’s birthday, one Oba K Solo alleged that the veteran had passed away. The actor’s family had debunked the news with a video of the veteran getting a haircut from someone, and it was clear that he was hale and hearty.

Recall that in 2021, Olu Jacobs’ wife, Joke Silva opened up on the health condition of the actor, revealing that he is battling dementia.

Last year, Joke had opened up on the impact of his Illness on their marriage, admitting that it has put a strain on their marriage, as her husband is no longer there for her, but the man that is with her is someone she loves.
