Saidi Balogun took to his Instagram page to post a phicture of himself sustaining a hand injury.

The talented Yoruba actor revealed that last year was very hard for him. Beginning on his birthday in 2024, he encountered unexpected difficulties that almost overwhelmed him, with the most painful being the loss of his daughter.

He wrote, “It has been a tough ride. Last in year, February, on my birthday, I was optimistic with lolaid-outid out plans, and then came the challenges I never envisioned. The worst of which was losing my precious loving and lovable daughter, this broke me in pieces beyond human comprehension.

Thank God for people who stood by me during those trying times. I started this year with hope, and then, a few days to my birthday, the devil struck again… for those who have been asking, this is the reason why my birthday shoot had only one hand displayed. All in all, I will keep saying Alhamdulilah, for Allah will never forsake us. Challenges will come to test your strength, so never lose your guard, remain strong and steadfast. May the Almighty be with us all.”
