Daddy ha
My experience with you has been nothing short of amazing. Looking back at the years you spent on this earth and the incredible impact you made in my life, I can only say thank you.
You were such a blessing to me. Your love, support, encouragement, advice, and guidance impacted me in ways I may never fully express. You contributed immensely to the person I am today, and your influence on my life will forever remain unforgettable.
Even in my movie career, your advice and words of wisdom played a huge role in shaping my journey. There were moments when I needed direction, encouragement, or someone to believe in me, and you were always there. Your words pushed me forward and helped me get to where I am today.
Daddy, I never imagined I would have to write a tribute to you this soon. It hurts deeply knowing that I can no longer call you, hear your voice, sit with you, or receive those priceless words of advice from you.
You were more than a mentor to me. You were a father, a supporter, a teacher, and a man whose presence made a difference in my life. I will forever cherish the memories, lessons, conversations, laughter, and every moment we shared.
Thank you for everything, Daddy. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for the impact you made. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to others.
Your legacy will live on, and everything you poured into us will never be forgotten.
Rest peacefully, Daddy Ogogo.
May God Almighty forgive your shortcomings, grant you eternal rest, and give your family, loved ones, and all of us the strength to bear this painful loss.
You will be deeply missed, but your memories will forever live in our hearts.
Sleep well, Daddy. Until we meet again”.
Just a few days ago, his colleagues, Jide Kosoko, Yinka Quadri, Kaka Odunfa, Baba Eleso, Antar Laniyan, Fausat Balogun, Toyosi Adesanya, Lateef Adedimeji and more gathered for a special prayer for Ogogo.
