I Hope One Of Late Olu Jacobs’ Kids Will Join Nollywood – Pete Edochie

Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has paid tribute to his late colleague, Olu Jacobs. He recently had his say via his social media page, and fans have been reacting.

Describing Olu Jacobs as a brother and one of the most senior actors of their generation, Pete Edochie declared that the deceased left his mark on the Nigerian movie industry.

The legend added that he hopes one of Olu‘s children will follow his path into acting, to give fans and colleagues another way to remember the Nollywood icon.

His words, “Olu, my brother. You fought like a man. Fought like a soldier, I have always known you.

Rest in peace, my brother. I commiserate with you for what you had to endure over a period of six years.

Of all our senior colleagues who have gone, Olu was the only person who got up to 80 and beyond.

The good book allowed us three score and ten, that is seventy. 14 years on top of that.

Unfortunately, the past six years were not what we had projected or expected in any way.

Like I said in Hausa, if God says it is time, then it is time.

My one prayer is that one of Olu’s children takes to acting, so that whenever we look at him we remember what Olu meant to all of us.

Olu was our most senior. While we must mourn that Olu has gone, we should also be glad and celebrate Olu’s life.

If it is true that people recognize one another after they have gone, then there is the possibility that we’ll meet again.”
