Rest well, great legend. Your legacy will forever remain.” Other tributes poured in, with actor Chiwetalu Agu describing Jacobs as a giant of the Nigerian film industry, NDC Presidential aspirant Peter Obi hailing him as an embodiment of the Nigerian spirit, and actress Rita Dominic calling him an icon and a gift to the film industry.
