Legendary Nigerian actress, Joke Silva, has debunked rumours of the death of her husband, Olu Jacobs.

According to news making rounds on the internet, the veteran actor was rumoured to be dead.

However, in an exclusive chat with The PUNCH, Joke Silva said her husband was hale and hearty.

She said, “Don’t mind them, they’re just talking rubbish; don’t disturb your head. He is in the living room right now about to have Eba and Ogbono soup. Let them keep deceiving themselves. He is hale and hearty.”

Nigeria Christians are more Pentecostal. The more Pentecostal a nation is by population, the more hate spreads. The thriving wheel of Pentecostal churches are three:

1. Miracles
2. Gospel of hate
3. False cry of persecutions.

Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike and the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Senator Godswill Akpabio attacked each other verbally in an event attended by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.

The event was the official inauguration of the
Muhammadu Buhari Nigeria Police Protection Unit comprising 68 flats and other facilities built in Port Harcourt, Rivers State by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Vice President Yemi Osibanjo represented Buhari at the event.
Others at the event include Wike, Akpabio, the
Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Maigari
Dingyadi; the Inspector-General of Police, Alkali Usman; Chairman, Senate Committee, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi and his counterpart in the House of Representatives, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo among others.
However, Akpabio stirred the argument as he used the platform to speak about party politics and performance.
The minister while speaking to Wike said he would not join other party bigwigs to appeal to him (Wike) to defect to the APC because the ruling party has enough crisis.
Addressing Wike, Akpabio said: “I will not join
others to lobby you to the APC. We have enough
problems in the APC already”. The Minister, while later alluding to the encomiums poured on Wike by Tunji-Ojo following his performance in Rivers, however, made a U-turn saying he could only declare Wike a performing Governor if he joined the APC.
To Wike, he said: “Because you are not yet in
APC, I won’t call you a performing Governor. When you come over to the APC, I will call you a performing Governor”.
However, Wike didn’t waste time descending on the minister.
He refused to acknowledge Akpabio as a Minister in his order of protocol and referred to him as a former Governor.
The governor said he wondered why Akpabio turned the inauguration into a political campaign.
Wike, juxtaposing the crises in the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and the APC, added that he would not leave “where there is malaria to a place where there is cancer”.
He said: “I thought we came to inaugurate this
project. I didn’t know Akpabio will turn it into a
political campaign. I prefer to stay where there is malaria to where there is cancer. Malaria is
treatable but cancer at the fourth stage is not
treatable. I don’t want to die now”.

Wike added that Akpabio enjoyed the title,
uncommon, when he was a Governor under the PDP. He said: “Akpabio, you became uncommon Governor under the PDP. You are not uncommon under the APC. Come back to where you became uncommon. Or would you say you are uncommon now as a Minister?”
Wike also accused the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), a ministry under Akpabio.
He said the ministry is a cash cow for politicians in the country.
Wike said: “NDDC has been a cash cow for
politicians. “You will see competition who will be the Managing Director, Executive Director (Finance), Executive Director (Projects).
“These are people who will make sure money is available for politics. You have portfolio contractors from Abuja. Every now and then, the MD will be running to Abuja.”

The governor also took a swipe at some lawmakers in the National Assembly who lobby for which projects to be included in the NDDC budget.
Wike explained that the problem he has with the NDDC is a lack of synergy with the state
governments in the region.
Speaking further, he noted that he filed a lawsuit against the commission, accusing NDDC of picking up a project in a state thereby distorting the government’s plan.
He added, “I took NDDC to court and we defeated them. You enter somebody’s state, you don’t even know the development plan of the state and start distorting the development plan of the state.
“The road you want to do is not your road. You
won’t liaise with the state to say ‘look what
project do you want in this state.
“If you ask all the nine states in the Niger Delta
and say State A, what kind of project do you want NDDC to execute, we are not interested in who will be the contractor. Our interest is that we are synergizing with you so that you don’t repeat those things we are doing.”
