Very sad.

I think the same thing is also happening to Bruce Willis

It's a very sad way to go and I hear it's also painful.

“But the thing is this: when he was there, he was an incredible father to his children and an amazing husband. He was practically my best friend.”

Speaking of the living as if he's already dead is a no no for me.

Omo.. Why u come dey tell us... Some things are better left unsaid... I'm sure your husband wouldn't have said the same thing about you

Solid actor. From 3rd eye days. I small but I dey watch that thing with my older siblings and uncles.

He's an example of an ACTOR
not all these kpako actors now wey go act one film push drugs

Na man olu-j be

It is well ma

Solid actor. From 3rd eye days. I small but I dey watch that thing with my older siblings and uncles.

May God bless him and heal him.

Life happens, what matters now is the memories you've created with him.

Old age sha

Them no dey digg two grave for old age .

Baba don old

My father said a prayer and I refuse to answer

He said Let God take him away before my mum

Then he explained that, only my mum cooks his meal as he like, manages his affairs and take care of him

Imagine Olu Jacob with dementia and no loving woman


.

People age differently.

Sometimes growing old can be very scary.

It really not easy been with a sick one

If you marry an older man than you. This is expected . If i ever get to this stage i prefer euthanasia o.

The moment I clock 75yrs any other Year na add ons and I don't want to live More than 80yrs

Joke Silva should give him Plant Stem Cell Therapy (PhytoScience Stem Cell Therapy).

I had a patient who had Dementia in Canada. Doctors had given up hope on the patient. She was taken home.

We started her on our brand of Plant Stem Cell Therapy which is PhytoScience Stem Cell Therapy and the patient started recovering o.

It was a gradual process till she fully recovered still on the therapy.

Recovering can take a whole year or 2 sef.

This is where patience comes in.

Dementia is Degenerative Disease where brain cells are dead which leads to loss of memory.

PhytoScience Stem Cell Therapy is a Regenerative Therapy (Regenerative Medicine).

It works by Regenerating the Cells in every part of the body. Every Dead Cell in the body will be Regenerated.

Once his Cells (Brain Cells) are Regenerated, he will be fine.

They should try other means. There is still hope.

Stem Cell Therapy works.

If u think I'm lying, ask Buhari.

I'm out abeg.

But the thing is this: when he was there, he was an incredible father to his children and an amazing husband. He was practically my best friend.

This must be his saving grace. That's why it's good to gain the love & trust of one's partner.

May God strengthen the couple.
