Veteran thespian and movie producer, Patrick Doyle has carpeted some women who claimed her Nollywood colleague, Joke Silva took care of her ailing husband, Olu Jacobs because he was nice and faithful to her when they were younger.
Joke Silva has been showered with numerous encomiums for celebrating her husband’s birthday in a big way after he turned 80 and for standing by him despite suffering from dementia.
According to Patrick Doyle, the female thespian is taking care of her hubby because she belongs to the generation of old-school women who hold dignity and honour as virtues.

He also added that she is not performing her duties as a wife to compensate for her husband’s good behaviours in the past, but that she did, because she is naturally a kind person, adding that torturing husbands due to their past deeds, is simply not in Joke Siver’s DNA.
Patrick Doyle wrote, “All those women hinging Joke Silva’s devotion to her ailing elderly husband on his devotion and care towards her in the early stages of the marriage have simply got it wrong.
“According to them ‘not so faithful and devoted husbands’ should not expect the same kind of treatment in the twilight of their lives, they even go as far as telling such men to expect torment from their wives in old age.
“In their little minds, they have concluded that Joke Silva shares their flawed philosophy.
“The Joke that I know would have still treated Uncle Olu with the same measure of love and devotion even if he were a philanderer and wife beater, which thankfully he was not.
“She would never have taken advantage of his vulnerability to torture him because it’s simply not in her DNA to do so.
“She belongs to the old school where dignity and honour count and doing the right thing is not contingent upon reciprocity.”
The filmmaker concluded by thanking Joke for taking care of her husband on behalf of all men and asserted she does not belong to the gang of women who have no respect for their husbands.
He added, “Salt may mimick sugar in appearance, but there is a difference. Let it be. Let it be known that Joke Silva, the wife of Oludotun Jacobs and mother of Soji, is not a member of the “Egbe’ Kini O’ko’ Ose’ Club”.(Wetin Husband Fit Do Sef). Joke Omoluabi, I say a big thank you on behalf of all men, perfect and flawed.”
