Sell hope to the poor sell hope to the poor. As if rich people don't attend churches. You want the church to go back to when the phrase "As poor as a church rat" was something. Shame devil has been defeated.

If it's all about selling hope I wonder why you haven't started or you don't want to be rich??

The actor's death was reported on Sunday, August 23, 2026, with multiple Nigerian media outlets confirming the development. His daughter, Kira Hassan, announced the news during an Instagram Live session, according to QED.

Family Had Earlier Revealed Cancer Battle

The actor's daughters, Lima and Kira Taiwo, had made emotional appeals for help after revealing that their father was battling stage-four cancer.

Kira disclosed that the hospital treating Ogogo could no longer administer chemotherapy, while the family searched for medical professionals and facilities capable of providing further treatment.

The family's appeals generated widespread concern across Nigeria, with colleagues, politicians, fans and well-wishers rallying around the veteran actor.

Among those who offered assistance was Senator Solomon Adeola, who the family acknowledged for helping with medical bills. Reports also said several individuals offered possible treatment options as concern over the actor's condition grew.

Industry Rallied Around Veteran Actor

Ogogo's condition triggered an outpouring of support from the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Veteran actor Jide Kosoko disclosed that hundreds of people had offered assistance to the family, while colleagues continued to appeal for prayers and appropriate medical care.

The situation also prompted discussions among medical professionals about treatment options for patients with advanced cancer.

A Career Spanning More Than Four Decades

Taiwo Hassan was one of the most recognisable faces in Yoruba-language cinema, building a career that spanned more than four decades.

Known affectionately as Ogogo, he established himself as an actor, filmmaker and theatre practitioner and appeared in hundreds of Nigerian films throughout his career.

His distinctive performances and longevity in the industry earned him a devoted following among Yoruba movie audiences and made him one of the most respected veterans of Nigerian cinema.

Death Comes Days After Family's Emotional Appeal

Ogogo's death comes just days after his daughters' emotional appeals brought national attention to his health battle.

The family's initial revelations were followed by widespread prayers and support as they searched for ways to continue his treatment.

On August 19, Sahara Reporters reported that Ogogo's management was facing difficulties moving him from his hospital to another facility for alternative treatment, despite receiving offers of assistance from hundreds of people.

The actor has now reportedly lost his battle with the illness, bringing an end to the life and career of one of Yoruba cinema's most prominent veterans.

Nollywood Mourns Ogogo

News of Ogogo's passing is expected to trigger an outpouring of tributes from across Nigeria's entertainment industry.

For generations of Yoruba movie lovers, his name and performances became synonymous with the growth and evolution of indigenous Nigerian cinema.

From his early years in theatre to his extensive career on screen, Ogogo left a lasting mark on Nollywood and Yoruba filmmaking.

His death represents a significant loss to an industry in which he spent more than four decades entertaining audiences.

Taiwo Hassan “Ogogo” was 66.

RIP Legend.....

Seriously they should have roasted him a bit like arms and legs then return him to prison then two month later roast another part of his bother and return him then another two months another part until death

I am so glad the kids and teachers are back. But where's the lie in what he wrote. We celebrate mediocrity

drstranged:
I don't know why the Nigerian government cowardly allows this kind of shit from South Africa! Imagine these guys humiliating your citizens and even going as far as destroying their businesses and yet you allow South African companies remain in Nigeria and even extort Nigerians! That's why even the South African govt still spits in our faces because they know we have a stupid govt that will tolerate it. Can they do this to Americans under Donald Trump? The reason they disrespect us so much is because the Nigerian government doesn't value it's citizens and they know this well. Under Abacha this kind of nonsense would never have happened

Are you comparing Nigeria with the US??

Sort Out security and inflation and Nigeria will be OK

Good one. Go and represent Nigeria well

Incognito403:
See how Nigerian christians are celebrating the cold murder of a fellow citizen.

That alone tells you all you need to know about Christianity in Nigeria.

They say Islam is a warmongering religion. But it's christianity that was introduced to Nigeria with chains and guns.

And it's christians that commited the holocaust.

And it's Nigerian christians thatbare always celebrating the cold murder of fellow citizens like this story and the uromi hunters.

Indeed, there's no hate like christian love.

Still waiting for your statement concerning Deborah killing

Kidnapping is already an illicit business like Yahoo.

It has gone out of the hands of the Fulani’s or other militias we accuse.

What is the population of these sects that’s make them do coordinated attacks across Nigeria, considering the landmass of Nigeria!

Game boys are already exploiting the trade and it’s safe cos they never a suspect. Majority think ONLY the Fulani’s are in the trade.

Normally I don't comment much here but you see you. Your heartlessness will catch up with you soon.

Which kind late conceding be this

Well done you're first to comment

Side A: Saudi Pro League

The Saudi league boasts world-class stars like the greatest footballer of all time Cristiano Ronaldo, also like of Karim Benzema, and Neymar Jr.

Higher individual talent raises match quality and global appeal. Massive financial investment improves facilities, coaching, and competition. Rapid growth means the league could soon rival top European leagues.

Side B: MLS

Of course MLS emphasizes structure, teamwork, and long-term development.
Teams are more balanced, making matches competitive and unpredictable.

Presence of stars like Lionel Messi adds quality without disrupting league balance.
Strong youth systems and consistent management improve overall league depth.

Oga rest and allow Messi and Ronaldo rest too. Una no dey tire with this thing. Now that the comparison trend has changed una still wan start league comparison. Una no dey tire

FFK has been very vocal on his condemnation of Israel's ongoing genocidal war on Palestinians.

FFK posted recently that he supports and admires SA's stance on global issues.

You do know that SA was the first country to drag Israel to the Hague for war crimes and genocide.

I believe you guys are going to have it very tough in SA with FFK being the designated ambassador there as he will not in any way be covering for your misbehavious that has contributed at large to rising xenophobic attacks in SA.

Also, the SA police arrested a group of Nigerian drug dealers who were recruited to take part in protests in SA over the rescent wave of Xenophobic attacks.

I have warned here that Israel will engage these criminals to demarket SA just as Israel is also backing I.P.O.B to demarket Nigeria in the US

What kinda nunsense propaganda is this one. Chai Na wa

So, this bishop's daughters cannot cook or will not be willing to be cooking for their husbands? Let the bishop tell his sons-in-law that Adeboye is wrong in this case.

Insisting that a woman must cook for her husband may not be biblical. But a woman insisting on getting married and not cooking for her husband is also not biblical.

David Oyedepo said that it is poverty that makes a man to expect his wife to cook for him. No bishop disagreed with Oyedepo despite the fact that that statement is not a biblical standard. This is simply because what Oyedepo said is what many Gen z ladies want, and in most cases, church leaders are interested in what will bring more members and not what is biblical.

Adeboye has now said what many Gen z ladies do not want, a bishop disagrees with him.

As Adeboye's statement is not a biblical standard, is Oyedepo's statement a biblical standard?

Wetin bring Oyedepo into this matter bro. Concentrate on the topic at hand
