00:00Hello, my people. Welcome back to Nolly Gisby.
00:02My father always insisted that a member of the family must be on the factory floor.
00:09Veteran actress Joke Silva also sparks conversation after revealing one surprising advantage of marrying older men.
00:16Older men let you get away with a lot. Joke Silva.
00:21So what are you doing on campus?
00:23Checking up on boobs, right?
00:25Checking on you.
00:28Your father always insisted that a member of the family must be on the factory floor, and he was not
00:36referring to it.
00:38You entered into menopause some eight years ago.
00:42Yes, that is why I was so surprised at the menstrual flow in the last couple of months.
00:49I and Kenya have been bunk beds for three semesters. This is how her period always comes from.
00:54Don't budge. We are missing it in school.
00:56Look, Aisha, you must submit yourself for screening.
00:59My people gather here small because mama herself has spoken.
01:03Nollywood veteran Joke Silva has opened up on what it's really like marrying an older man, and her confession?
01:08Be sweet small.
01:10Speaking during an interview, the respected actress revealed that when she first met the legendary Olu Jacobs,
01:15she had no idea there was a serious age gap between them.
01:19Why? Because according to her, the man was looking too good.
01:23Everybody on set already knew the great Olu Jacobs was coming, except her.
01:27But once they met, the chemistry clicked.
01:30Now, here's the interesting part.
01:32For Olu Jacobs, it was love at first sight.
01:34But for Joke Silva, ah, calm down first.
01:38It wasn't love at first sight, oh.
01:39And then, boom, she dropped the line that got everyone talking.
01:43These older men allow you to get away with a lot of things.
01:46Hmm.
01:47Yes, we met on stage.
01:51I didn't know.
01:53And when we met, it was on the set of Jerry's Metamorphosis.
01:58I heard he was coming.
01:59I mean, everybody knew.
02:00Well, the great Olu Jacobs, everybody knew this great Olu Jacobs was coming, except me.
02:05Okay.
02:08So, when he came, we kind of, we got on very well.
02:12Ah, and it was after we started dating that I discovered his age, because he looked so good.
02:19He really looked really good.
02:21He wasn't, sorry, but the chemistry was there on first sight.
02:24Yes!
02:24First sight.
02:24It wasn't there.
02:25Well, for him, it was first sight, but me, it wasn't.
02:28Well, you're still playing hard to get to today.
02:32I'm not playing hard to get to.
02:34It's just a fact.
02:35That's what the other story was.
02:36You know?
02:38So, he was, um, so I had no idea that, you know, so we had started dating, and then we
02:44just,
02:46Eh?
02:47Excuse me?
02:49Oh, it bothered you in the beginning?
02:51It initially did, you know?
02:54I'm like, ah, father.
02:56Yeah.
02:57You know?
02:59You know?
02:59And, um, so processing and things, and, and, um, just looking at, just looking at, you know,
03:09the, um, how the relationship was developing after a while didn't matter.
03:14Yeah.
03:15Hmm.
03:15She married him at 24, while he was 44, and today, decades later, they remain one of
03:21Nollywood's most respected power couples, with two children and a legacy that speaks for
03:25itself.
03:26So, the question now is, is age really just a number, or do older men truly come with premium
03:33benefits?
03:34One thing is clear, this love story has stood the test of time, and at Nollygist V, we love
03:39to see marriages that last.
04:06The test, don't lie.
04:08Is there something I'm not telling you?
04:11Remember, this is Nollygist V, where the gist never stops.
