Some people trying to profit from my dad’s illness – Ogogo’s daughter

Kira Taiwo, daughter of veteran Yoruba actor Taiwo Hassan, known as Ogogo, has voiced distress over individuals attempting to profit from her father's ongoing battle with stage-four cancer. During an emotional TikTok live session, Kira alleged that some people are making significant financial demands, ranging from N800,000 to $18,000, under the guise of offering solutions for his treatment.

“

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, 5m, 11,000 dollars, N18,000 dollars. Do you want to make us broke? We are not billionaires.

"Do you want to make us broke? We are not billionaires," Kira stated, emphasizing that the family's priority is securing treatment for her father and that they cannot meet such exorbitant demands. The situation is reportedly taking a severe toll on her own well-being, as she admitted to not being okay and needing to check her blood pressure.

The actor's illness has also deeply affected his brother, referred to by Kira as her "big daddy." She shared that her uncle was visibly distressed after seeing a video related to the actor's condition, expressing concern about his health and emotional state. Kira highlighted the exceptionally close bond between the two brothers, making the current circumstances particularly difficult for the entire family.

I want to check my BP, I am not okay too.

Kira revealed that she has been avoiding social media due to the emotional difficulty of seeing her father's pictures while he is ill. She expressed profound connection to her father, stating, "Nothing can be okay, ever." She clarified that her online appearance was not for sympathy but an emotional release, driven by her deep love and concern for her father's well-being and his desire for everyone's happiness.

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?’

This comes after Kira and her sister, Lima Taiwo, made public appeals on Instagram for assistance and expertise in cancer treatment to help save their father, who is battling stage-four cancer.

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.
