platter but that is what one of Nollywood's icons has
become.
Olu Jacobs, often times referred to as the granddad
of Nollywood has achieved great feats in the industry
beyond standards he probably set for himself.
From the old days of the mid 90's when he acted together
with Omotola Jalade and Emeka Ike in "Day Break", to
some of his most current movies, the style and class he
brings into his roles is second to none; from the trademark
roaring voice when he is angry and intent on creating
mischief especially when he gets offended or his child goes
contrary to his commands, to the sweet and fatherly
affection he displays when pleased, Olu has remained the
same person and kept true to his core acting values that has
made him beloved by many.
In the years that have past, some of his age mates who were
legends in their own rights that to great Nollywood
achievements including the likes of Sam Loco, Enebeli
Elebuwa, Pete Eneh, and Justus Esiri, have all passed on.
So it is worth at least recognizing his great feat over the
years and bestowing on him an award deserving of his
status.
Even before that happens however, the legend has already
received a sculpted statue of himself and Olu can certainly
take pride of this because he deserves it.P
