His death generated widespread tributes from colleagues, fans and prominent Nigerians who celebrated his contribution to the growth of Nigeria’s entertainment industry.

As the industry and family paid their final respects to the veteran actor, several people worked behind the scenes to coordinate various aspects of the burial and related activities.

Henshaw used the occasion to draw attention to those contributors, praising their dedication and commitment.

She highlighted the importance of recognising people who often remain away from the spotlight despite playing critical roles during major events.

According to the actress, such individuals deserve appreciation for their service, particularly during emotionally demanding moments surrounding the funeral of a beloved colleague and industry icon.

The burial brought together members of the Nigerian entertainment industry, family members, friends and admirers of the late actor.

Tributes during the funeral reflected Jacobs’ influence on generations of actors and his contribution to the development of Nigerian film and television.

Throughout his career, Jacobs was widely regarded as a highly respected professional whose performances helped shape the Nigerian entertainment industry.

His body of work included major television productions, films and stage performances, earning him recognition both in Nigeria and internationally.

Henshaw’s comments also highlighted the collective effort often required to organise major industry events, particularly funerals involving prominent personalities.

While public attention usually focuses on celebrities and headline moments, numerous individuals contribute logistical, administrative and organisational support away from the cameras.

The actress’ recognition of these workers has drawn attention to the importance of acknowledging their roles.

The burial of Jacobs marked an emotional moment for Nollywood, with colleagues remembering not only his acting ability but also his influence as a senior figure within the industry.

His legacy is expected to continue through the actors, filmmakers and audiences influenced by his decades of work.

Henshaw’s tribute to the unsung heroes added another dimension to the farewell, recognising those whose contributions helped make the final ceremonies possible.
