several awards and nominations for her work as an actress including
the awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
Joke Silva, legendary Nollywood actress and wife of Olu Jacobs has
stated categorically that she has no apologies or whatsoever for being
one of the most expensive producers cum actress in the Nigerian film
industry.
The respected actress, who began her career way back in the 80s after
featuring in the popular TV series such as Mirror in the Sun, Second
Chance, Mind Bending and Tight Rope among others, stated recently.
Joke Silva said, the longevity she enjoys as an actress stems from the
quality training she had while studying drama at the Webber Douglas
Academy of Dramatic Art in London. According to her, she believes in
training, hence she owes her longevity in the industry to it.
Describing herself as a 'classically trained actor', Joke who is often
referred to as the grandmother of Nollywood boasted that given her
years of experience as an actress she's one of the most expensive
producers around, and that she has no apologies for her action.
"This is because if you want me to play the dual role of producing as
well as acting in your film, it means you will part with reasonable
amount of money to hire me."
