Kira Taiwo Accuses Nigerians of Exploiting Ogogo's Illness

Kira Taiwo, daughter of veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, known as Ogogo, accused certain Nigerians of attempting to profit from her father's battle with stage-four cancer during a TikTok live session on Saturday. She expressed her distress over financial demands from individuals claiming to offer help, stating, “Do you want to make us broke?

We are not billionaires.” Kira emphasized that the family's priority is to secure treatment for her father, revealing that the situation has affected her own health and well-being. She mentioned her uncle's emotional struggle, highlighting the close bond between her father and his brother.

Kira shared her feelings of withdrawal from social media due to the emotional toll of her father's illness, stating, “If anything happens to my daddy…” She and her sister, Lima Taiwo, had previously made separate appeals on Instagram for assistance in their father's treatment, noting that Ogogo's condition had deteriorated.
