Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva celebrate 30 years of marriage – Na beans???

“And it has loaded.??..30 years ago on 16th November 1985 we said “I Do”. It is a day of thanks To our Heavenly Father for all those who made those 30 years doable..my late mum and dad. Chief Afolabi Silva and Dr (Mrs) Abimbola Silva. They both tried to be fair…but mum was most times in Olus corner and Dad leant towards mine?”

“My late sisters in law mama Shomolu and mummy Ibadan. ..my late brothers in law Papa London and Papa Fermi. ..all of them so protective of me?God in his wisdom has called you home. Your blessing will not decrease. We miss you all.”

“My sisters Bisi Silva and Toyin Olawoye…nudging us to get married those many years ago…Sister Buki& Uncle Laolu Akintobi ..Bunmi Tejumola Faith Eboigbe my warriors…????”

“Chisom Ezoke daughter sister friend… Sinmi Adesanya supporters no matter what???…Moji Olagbegi pastor in the house ??Bunmi and Soji Oyinsan besto of life you never held your punches from either of us and made sure we made it work..???..Lola Fani-Kayode there from the beginning…taking me by the scruff of the neck and shaking me until I found my way back to my Lord Jesus..??..Thank you. Our Son’s Olusoji and Olugbenga our Jewels God bless you. May you both find bone of your bones? and in the words of my favourite hymn at the moment “Oh God beyond all Praising…”We thank you for these 30 years. May only death do us part and may our love in all its ramifications wax stronger. Thank you all for the good wishes and prayers. God bless you.”

It would be recalled that Olu Jacobs, during a media chat 3 years ago, also told a quite super story of how they met:

“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.”
