Actress Habibat Jinad Warns Nollywood Colleagues Against Bitter Battles Following Ogogo’s Passing

Nollywood actress Habibat Jinad has issued a passionate appeal to her colleagues in the Yoruba film industry, calling on actors and filmmakers to drop grudges and make peace with one another following the passing of screen icon Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo.

Reflecting on the heavy grief gripping the entertainment community after the veteran actor lost his battle with stage-four cancer, Jinad urged practitioners to let the tragedy serve as a sobering wake-up call. The actress stated on social media that everyone should use the heavy loss to forgive those who have offended them in any way.

The movie star took a direct swipe at toxic behavior within Nollywood, warning colleagues who participate in industry cliques or gang up on others to change their ways. She specifically urged colleagues to stop launching spiritual attacks or harboring animosity over minor disputes, emphasizing that life is far too brief for hatred and unnecessary battles.

Jinad’s solemn message joins a growing wave of emotional reflections across the film industry following Ogogo’s burial in his hometown of Ilaro, Ogun State. Her call for unity serves as a strong reminder to movie practitioners that personal rivalries and professional squabbles mean nothing in the face of life’s unpredictability.
