Veteran Nollywood actress Joke Silva spoke with Sunday Scoop and talks about her unconventional arrangements at home.
“My husband loves to cook, so I have never been under any pressure to be the chef in the house. I cook, he cooks chef cooks too. The most important thing is to get food into the stomach. “I have my ways of doing things and he has his too. However in the early years, this did caused friction and tension between us.” she said.
On retirement she said inasmuch as her husband is 75 years old and he hasn’t stopped acting, and Hubert Ogunde was 86 years old when he featured in Heart of Darkness, who is he to think of retirement soon.
She also said “ I’m very lucky to belong to an industry that doesn’t recognise retirement. It allows for longevity. And I intend to take full advantage of it. I will continue to act, produce and do every other thing that gives me joy until atrophy sets in. I still hope to create long-running theatre shoes. I hope to improve more lives.”
