Joke Silva breaks silence on Olu Jacobs’ health condition

Joke Silva opened up about Olu Jacobs’ health condition last year, after he had been absent from the film industry for some years.

During an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the actress revealed that her husband is suffering from dementia, a degenerative condition of the brain.

“He is dealing with issues and it is been going on for a couple of years. It is known as dementia with Lewy body, it is a degenerative disease that affects the brain and it is almost like a Parkinson type of disease, it affects the brain and affects the person,…first time I’m saying this publicly….that is what we have been dealing…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…we have gone through it over the past couple of years but we thank God….

We have gone through some times and situations recently that I wish I had the old you here so I don’t battle these times on my own but we are grateful for the moment of clarity ….I miss the times we work together!”.
