Nigerian Actor Olu Jacobs Gets Statue Of Honour

For his timeless contribution to the
Nigerian movie industry, veteran
Nollywood actor Olu Jacobs has been
honoured with a bronze statue of
himself.
Popularly called the grandfather of
Nollywood, the actor has achieved
great feats in Nollywood beyond the
personal standard he originally set for
himself.
Achieving legendary eminence never
comes on a silver platter but that is
what one of Nollywood’s icons has
become.
Olu Jacobs who came into limelight in
the mid 90′s when he starred in a hit
movie titled “Day Break” alongsides
Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and Emeka
Ike has become a household name.
From the trademark roaring voice
when he is angry and intent on
creating mischief especially when he
gets offended or his child goes
contrary to his commands, to the
sweet and fatherly affection he
displays when pleased, Olu Jacobs
has remained the same person and
kept true to his core acting values that
has made him beloved fans
worldwide.
Months back, some of his colleagues
and age mates who are legends in
their own rights like Pete Eneh,
Enebeli Elebuwa, Sam Loco Efe and
Justus Esiri have died.
So it is worth at least recognizing his
achievement over the years and
bestowing on him an award deserving
of his status.
Even before death comes knocking
however, Olu Jacobs has already
received a bronze sculpted statue of
himself.
Olu Jacobs takes great pride in this
statue because he definitely deserves
it.
The actor is married to veteran actress
Joke Silva and the couple have two
beautiful children together.
Congrats to him.
