A video of Olu Jacob’s son and wife Joke Silva assisting the actor and helping him cut his cake on his birthday has sparked emotions.
The seasoned Nollywood actor turned a new age, so his family decided it would be appropriate to throw him a party and order a massive 80th birthday cake.
In the opening of the video shared by @abidexx_bb, Olu Jacobs and his wife Joke Silva can be seen standing side by side before the actress is asked to step aside so a personal photo of him can be taken.
His son held his hands and tried to give him proper instructions on how to cut the cake while he stood close to his cake.
The video has sparked reactions on social media with many netizens expressing their concern over the actor’s health, as he appeared frail in the video.
Olu Jacobs, who used to be energetic, has been battling with dementia in his old age.
