The video of Nigerian movie icon Olu Jacobs and his wife Joke Silva all loved-up is one of the cutest you’d see on social media today.
The video which has since gone viral was part of a photo shoot for the couple ahead of Jacobs’ 80th birthday ceremony.
Jacobs has been away from the public eye for a while over his ill health.
The movie veteran’s wife and actress, Silva first revealed that he was suffering from dementia.
The movie star in a chat with Chude Jideonwo revealed that her husband has been battling dementia.
“He is dealing with issues and it is been going on for a couple of years. It is known as dementia with lewy body,” she said.
“It is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson’s type of disease, it affects the brain and affects the person.”
The actress revealed that this was the first time she would be talking about her husband’s health in public.
“First time I’m saying this publicly… that is what we have been dealing with…but the thing is, it is hard on him because he doesn’t understand what is going on and it is hard on us family members as well,” she added.
The last time Jacobs made a public appearance was at the Afriff awards, where he won the Lifetime Achievement award.
