One of the daughters of veteran Yoruba actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, Kira Taiwo, has accused some Nigerians of trying to make money from her father’s battle with stage-four cancer.

🇳🇬 Here's What Happened

Kira made the allegation during an emotional TikTok live session on Saturday, where she sobbed while speaking about her father’s condition and the financial demands allegedly being made by some people offering to help the family.

“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 dollars, N18,000 dollars. Do you want to make us broke? We are not billionaires,” she said.

She said the family was not financially capable of meeting such demands, stressing that their priority was to find treatment for the actor.

She also disclosed that the situation was taking a toll on her own wellbeing.

Kira said the actor’s illness had also deeply affected his brother, whom she referred to as her “big daddy”.

She said she learnt about her uncle’s reaction from a family group chat where relatives regularly discuss her father’s health.

“That was the video my big daddy saw and on the group chat, where we always have our discussion about daddy’s health, I saw my cousin wrote something like, my big daddy was asking ‘Is Taiye going to die?’” she said.

Kira said her father and his brother shared a particularly close relationship, making the situation difficult for everyone in the family.

“My big daddy and my daddy, we are the children, we don’t even know who they love more. We don’t even know if it is we who are being or themselves. It is too much. My big daddy loves my daddy too much,” she said.
