Patrick Doyle salutes Joke Silva over Olu Jacobs

Published

on

Actor Patrick Doyle has showered encomiums on veteran actress Joke Silva for taking great care of her ailing husband, the legendary Olu Jacobs.

Doyle hailed the devotion of Joke Silva towards her frail husband.

Silva has continued to receive praises and admiration since she celebrated her hubby’s 80th birthday who’s been suffering from dementia.

Some who lauded her steadfast love and support for Uncle Jacobs claimed her husband must have treated her with great love and care before his ailment necessitating reciprocity from her.

But Doyle, bluntly disagreeing with that group of individuals, insisted Joke would still have acted the same if her hubby had been promiscuous because of her values.

The filmmaker thanked ‘Omoluabi’ Joke Silva for being a worthy example of a wife.

Doyle wrote: “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.

“According to them, ‘not so faithful and devoted husbands’ should not 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 their flawed philosophy.

“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 doing the right thing is not contingent upon reciprocity.

“Salt may mimick sugar in appearance, but there is a difference. Let it be. Let it be known that Joke Silva, the wife of Oludotun Jacobs and mother of Soji, is not a member of the “Egbe’ Kini O’ko’ Ose’ Club”. (Wetin Husband Fit Do Sef). Joke Omoluabi, I say a big thank you on behalf of all men, perfect and flawed.”

If you [Wanni] do all that sh*t for him, he will never see you as the prize. He will see himself as the prize.” Wanni has accepted the advice, but it remains uncertain whether she will act on it.

Onyeka also shared that Shaun had previously approached her for a romantic relationship, which she declined. She alleged that Shaun had promised to leave Wanni and return to her later.
