According to Ajinwa, the same marriage that failed Mr Ibu served Olu Jacobs well, seeing as his wife has remained committed to loving and caring for him despite his illness. The tweep explained that it all boiled down to the quality of the women they both got married to.

He wrote:

“Marriage failed Mr Ibu. The same Marriage is sustaining Olu Jacobs.

The difference between these two marriages is the quality of wife they married.

Joke Silva is committed to loving and taking care of a man who no longer remembers her or the times they’ve shared.”

“Not only the quality of wife they married, let me be accountable for once. It's also because of the quality of life Jacob lived when he was younger and how he treated his wife. Treat your spouse well, e get why!”

“Make una rest. Where is Mr Ibu's first wife before fame? This is what happened to men who think they replace good women in their lives. If God bless you with a good partner, don't allow stupidity to make you lose them.”

“Honestly, it's appalling. Mr Ibu was dear to us but he knew what he was doing. I don't know why most people act like only the woman is an adult while the man is a baby. Therefore, they excuse the man of any fault. So, they blame everything on the woman.”

Yhulukluvly:

“The disrespect on Ibu's wife started the moment jasmine entered that family.”

mary_gold_fashion:

“They are busy blaming the women for an irresponsible man mistake as usual . Check the life of Jacob and the life of Mr Ibu before y’all blame the woman. When they say stay one place, stick to your family, love and support your wife while you are healthy, una think say nah joke. The life of mr Ibu’s and Mr Jacob is a topical example of the irresponsible and a irresponsible man ending.”
