Great man. MHSRIP! YAGAZIE, King Olu!

Farewell the legend. Olu Jacobs was in his own class. Steered in many classic films & movies.
At a tiime, I didnt know he was Yoruba because he effortlessly interpreted roles.

Journey ended life goes on
His people never cared for him when he was alive, baba dun die na owambe dem dun prepare. Mad people he had

Farewell, Elder!

I curse anyone that'll politicize his burial. He was a good man that will keep our nostalgic memories...

R. I. P. Papa...

The reason no one should be scared of death... For it is appointed for a man to die!

Death is for every living thing, as long as you are living as blood and flesh your time will eventually come.

Live your life, do what makes you happy, you have just one life to live.
And I must pay my last respect to a legend. RIP to the legend Olu Jacobs!

Amen Amen how many character needed more Haleluyah

Rest in peace.
Love how the burial is happening quickly.

All our heroes are dying - more good people than the old rascals who toyed with the country's growth and peace. The crazy ones still doing so will leave someday and I hope to God that by then, they will have gotten exactly what's coming for them.

Elese kan o ni lo lai je'ya.

RIP Baba. You lived a good life, sire

Be careful when apportioning death, only the maker can decide to whom he'll send the collector of souls

'ot all these quack we are having now

Oh, wonderful! Definitely a lovely, understated tribute. Let’s see… they’re certainly keeping the good vibes flowing, eh?

Don't say what you don't know.

If nobody else did, his beloved wife, Joke Silva cared for him until the end.

Weldone Joke Silva,

I followed your story before his death and each time I saw an almost unrecognisable Olu Jacobs, I saw you there by his side, holding him.
In fact, in one of the pictures I saw last year, it was through you I recognized that was Olu Jacobs.

You are a rare woman and you have my respect.

Stupid kids on nairaland.

You may even die before him. Dokpesi used its AIT station to wish all manners of death to buhari in 2015 but died on buhari handover date to tinubu. Continue.

Its unfortunate this great man didn't escape tilumbu regime.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen
