Veteran actors Olu Jacobs and his wife Ajoke Silva have weathered many storms, both on and offstage and they keep growing in love.
Yesterday the veteran actress took to Instagram to share this photo of them taken in 1988, the same year they were married, and wrote;
“A scene from the play Holy Child written by Olu Jacobs Christmas (1988) Olu was Joseph.. I was Mary....A pantomime...part musical part drama at the National Theatre Lagos....simpler times...no one could imagine a 9/11 and all the terrorism that has erupted all over the world on a constant basis...Beirut. ..Paris...Northern Nigeria sooo many grieving...an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind....We pray for our leaders Lord...wisdom Lord...30th W.A. still loading a safe Sunday all.”
In an interview with TheNet.ng, Olu Jacobs described the meeting with Joke like this: "I was having a meeting at the National Theatre and the door opened a young lady came in. I looked at her. I have never met her before in my life and I said to the people in the room ‘ladies and gentlemen, this is the lady I am going to marry’. Everybody laughed. She looked at me up and down, hissed and left. Today, she is my wife and that was 27 years ago."
