“Some People Are Trying To Make Money From Us Over My Father’s Illness — They Bring N800,000, N5m, $11,000, $18,000 As ‘Solutions’; We Are Not Billionaires” — Ogogo’s Daughter Cries Out
Kira Taiwo, daughter of veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has accused some individuals of allegedly trying to profit from her father’s battle with stage-four cancer.
Kira made the emotional revelation during a TikTok live session, where she broke down while speaking about the family’s struggle to secure treatment for the actor.
According to her, some people have approached the family with different offers and financial demands, leaving them under additional pressure at a time when their major concern is getting medical help for their father.
She said, “My father is a good father. Some people are even trying to make money with us in this whole situation. Fear God. This one will come and bring solution, N800k, N5m, $11,000, $18,000. Do you want to make us broke? We are not billionaires.”
Kira stressed that the family’s priority was not receiving money but finding someone capable of treating the actor, as she appealed to medical professionals and anyone with access to cancer treatment to assist.
She also revealed that the situation has taken an emotional toll on the entire family, particularly her father’s brother, whom she described as being extremely close to Ogogo.
The actor’s daughters had previously appealed to Nigerians, well-wishers and medical professionals for assistance, clarifying that they were seeking medical intervention rather than financial donations.
Ogogo, 66, is a veteran Nollywood actor whose career spans more than four decades and includes appearances in over 300 films.
