Nigerian actress, Joke Silva, has spoken on the deteriorating health of her husband and actor, Olu Jacobs.
The actress, in a recent interview on the Nancy Isime show, stated that the husband she married 37 years ago is no longer there due to lingering health issue.
“I have to be very honest, it has not been easy. In the early years when it started we did not even realize that it has started,” she said.
“We were just like why are you behaving like this? But when the deterioration became a bit more rapid, I bore my eyes out.
“Then now came a point of acceptance that this is it. This is the reality. It is what it is. And it is almost like the person you married, 80 percent of the time is no longer there.
“But the thing is this, when he was there, he was an amazing man. And because my husband’s father is an incredible father to his children and an amazing husband, he was practically my best friend and I could share anything with him.
“You know in this journey now, it is like I am looking after my father. The husband I knew is no more there for me, but this man that is here is someone I still love but love in a different way.”
