Albeit, the rise of failed marriages both in and out of the entertainment industry. Ajoke Silva and Olu Jacobs have shown that indeed theirs was built on a solid foundation.
The couple met in 1981 at the National Theatre, Lagos during the 21st Independence anniversary. Olu Jacobs has once been asked why his wife bears her maiden name, to which he answered;
”She is her own individual. When I met her, she was an actress known as Joke Silva so why should marrying me now deny her and her audience her name. She is Miss Joke Silva who is Mrs. Joke Jacobs.
It is as simple as that. People now begin to say what they like. They have even written that we are separated and all sort of stuff. When she is working, she is Joke Silva but she is Mrs. Joke Jacobs at home.”
