Patrick Doyle: Joke Silva will never torture ailing husband even if he were to be wife beater
Patrick Doyle, the ace actor, says Joke Silva will never “take advantage” of Olu Jacobs’ “vulnerability to torture” her ailing husband.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Doyle said some women think Joke’s commitment to her ailing husband was due to his loyalty to her in the early years of their marriage.
The movie star said he is sure Silva will still have treated Jacobs with the same level of “love and devotion” even if he had been a “philander and wife-beater.”
“All those women hinging Joke Silva’s devotion to her ailing elderly husband on his devotion and care towards her in the early stages of the marriage have simply got it wrong,” he wrote.
“According to them, not so faithful and devoted husbands should not to expect the same kind of treatment in the twilight of their lives, they even go as far as telling such men to expect torment from their wives in old age. In their little minds they have concluded that Joke Silva shares this flawed philosophy of theirs.
“The Joke that I know would have still treated Uncle Olu with the same measure of love and devotion even if he were a philanderer and wife beater, which thankfully he was not.
“She would never have taken advantage of his vulnerability to torture him because, it’s simply not in her DNA to do so. She belongs to the old school where dignity and honour count and where doing the right thing is not contingent upon reciprocity.
“Salt may mimick sugar in appearance, but there is a difference. Let it be known that Joke Silva the wife of oludotu Jacobs and mother of Soji is not a member of the “Egbe Kini O’ko’ Ose’ Club”. (Wetin Husband Fit Do Sef).
“Joke Omoluabi, on behalf of all men perfect and flawed I say a big thank you.”
Last year, Silva revealed that her husband is battling dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
The ace actress also said Jacobs has been struggling with the ailment “for a couple of years” and “doesn’t understand what is going on.”
On Sunday, Jacobs marked his 80th birthday at an event which was graced by notable public figures.

Fashion editor and podcaster Chioma Nnadi has been named as the new head of editorial content at British Vogue, becoming the first black female head of the industry-leading fashion publication.
The 44-year-old is set to succeed Edward Enninful as the editor of British Vogue but her title will be Head of Editorial Content, unlike previous editors who were described as Editor-in-Chief.
Nnadi posted on Instagram: “I’m so thrilled to announce that I’m the new head of editorial content for @britishvogue. Huge thanks to Anna Wintour, @edward_enninful, and Roger Lynch for giving me this opportunity.
“I’m truly honoured and so excited to be coming home. Stay tuned!”
As editor of New York-based Vogue.com, with recent cover stories have featured stars such as Rihanna, Cara Delevingne and Erykah Badu, Nnadi spent 13 years as a writer and news director for Vogue, and also co-hosts the publication’s podcast, The Run-Through.
“As someone who was born and raised in London, the energy of the city — its boundary-pushing style and creative scene — has shaped the way I look at the world,” Nnadi said in a statement on Monday, in the middle of London Fashion Week.
“Now, more than ever, it feels like a moment to look beyond borders while also celebrating the broad scope of what it means to be British,” she added of her return to her hometown.
“I’m looking forward to engaging a loyal and inspired digital community that is energised by our access, point of view, and storytelling.”
Anna Wintour, Vogue’s chief content officer and global editorial director, who inspired Meryl Streep’s character in the film The Devil Wears Prada, said Nnadi was “beloved among her colleagues” and “an editor and writer with an impeccable reputation — both here and in the fashion industry at large”.
Enninful will remain as an editorial adviser to the UK title but move into a newly-created job next year aimed at growing the brand globally.
Born to a Nigerian father and Swiss-German mother, Nnadi worked at magazines Trace and The Fader as well as Evening Standard’s features desk before joining Vogue in 2010.
Her new job will commence from October 9.
All roads led to The Podium events place in Lekki, Lagos, on the night of Friday August 25th when the cream de la cream in the movies and media industry trooped out to celebrate one of their own.
It was the 40th anniversary of the gentleman that family and friends call Muyiwa but whom the generality of the creative and technical stakeholders in Nollywood simply cherish as Moses Babatope.
It’s impossible not to acknowledge the immense contribution of this suave, debonair and business savvy gentleman in Nigerian cinema since he returned to the country from the United Kingdom where he was was educated in Banking and Finance for his first degree and International Finance for his Master’s.
Several friends, colleagues abd well-wishers spoke glowingly of his passion for the industry, his humility and generosity, since his days as a young film buff that assisted in getting many Nollywood films screened at Odeon Cinena, in Surrey Quays, London.
They also applaud his exemplary career as co-helmsman at FilmOne/FilmHouse/Imax group.
The birthday dinner was sumptuous. The documentary clip about the celebrant was revealing. Music was awesome and the afterparty was as classy as it was sassy.
