Queenseidat Awa-Ibraheem Almanarah, an Islamic scholar has recounted the remarkable support she says she received from the late actor, Taiwo Ogogo, particularly during the early stages of her career.
Almanarah made the revelation during a visit to the family of the late actor, where she paid tribute to his memory and reflected on the impact she said he had on her professional journey.
During the visit, Almanarah also demonstrated her appreciation to the family by donating ₦2 million and Bole Hore, describing the gesture as part of her way of honouring the memory of a man she said played an important role in her journey.
“Ogogo Supported Me When I Was Still Singing Zikir”
Recounting her experience, Almanarah said the late Ogogo supported her career on several occasions when she was still building her identity as a Zikir singer.
According to her account, Ogogo believed in her talent and encouraged her at a time when she was still developing her career. She said his support went beyond mere words, as he allegedly used his relationships and influence to help create opportunities for her.
One of the most significant instances she recalled was connected to an opportunity to perform in the United States.
Almanarah said Ogogo persuaded business mogul Alhaja Mulikat Chicaco to give her an opportunity to perform in America.
According to Almanarah, the late actor spoke on her behalf and encouraged Alhaja Mulikat Chicaco to consider giving her the opportunity. She recalled the intervention as one of the memorable moments in her professional journey.
For Almanarah, the incident remains one of the reasons she continues to remember the late actor with gratitude.
A Helping Hand at a Crucial Period
Almanarah’s recollection paints a picture of a relationship built around encouragement, trust and professional support.
At a period when she was still developing her identity as a performer, she said Ogogo recognised her potential and was willing to support her career.
She explained that his assistance came at a crucial stage, when opportunities to expand her audience and take her performances beyond Nigeria could have a significant impact on her career.
According to her account, Ogogo repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to support her whenever he believed an opportunity could help her progress.
The American Opportunity
Among the memories she shared, the opportunity to perform in the United States stood out as particularly significant.
Almanarah said Ogogo played a role in persuading Alhaja Mulikat Chicaco to give her the opportunity to perform in America.
For a performer whose journey began with Zikir singing, she regarded the opportunity to take her performance beyond Nigeria as a major step.
She expressed appreciation for the role she said Ogogo played in helping to make that opportunity possible, describing it as one of the ways he contributed to her career.
Visit to the Late Actor’s Family
Almanarah’s visit to Ogogo’s family also provided an opportunity for her to pay respect to the deceased and acknowledge the contribution she believes he made to her life and career.
She presented ₦2 million and Bole Hore to the family as part of her gesture of appreciation and goodwill.
The donation, according to her message, was not simply about material assistance but also about honouring the memory of someone she said had shown kindness and support toward her when she was still coming up.
She Offers Prayer for Late Ogogo
During the visit, Almanarah also offered prayers for the repose of the soul of the late Ogogo.
In remembering him, she prayed that Almighty Allah would forgive his shortcomings, grant him mercy and admit him into Al-Jannah Firdaus.
Her prayer added a spiritual dimension to the visit, reflecting the significance of the late actor’s memory to her and the importance she attached to praying for the deceased.
She also used the occasion to encourage the family to continue remembering him through peace, love and unity.
“Remain United and Love One Another”
Beyond paying tribute to the deceased, Almanarah delivered a message to the members of Ogogo’s family, urging them to remain united and show love to one another.
She encouraged the family not to allow disagreements or differences to divide them, stressing the importance of maintaining the bond that exists among them.
According to her message, family members should continue to support one another and ensure that love remains at the centre of their relationship.
Her appeal came as part of her broader message of remembrance, with the emphasis that the best way to honour the memory of a loved one is also to preserve peace and togetherness among those left behind.
Remembering a Legacy of Support
The story shared by Almanarah also brings attention to an often-overlooked aspect of the entertainment industry: the individuals who help others before those individuals become widely recognised.
Artists and performers often depend on encouragement, recommendations, introductions and opportunities from people who believe in their abilities.
In Almanarah’s account, Taiwo Ogogo was one of those people.
She remembers him not only for his work as an actor but also for the assistance she says he offered her while she was developing her career.
Her decision to visit his family, make a substantial donation, offer prayers and encourage the family to remain united demonstrates the value she places on the relationship and support she says she received from him.
A Tribute Built on Gratitude, Prayer and Love
For Almanarah, the story of Taiwo Ogogo is therefore more than a story about the entertainment industry. It is also a story about gratitude, remembrance, prayer and the importance of supporting one another.
Her recollection of how he supported her Zikir career and allegedly helped her secure an opportunity to perform in the United States remains an important part of the story she tells about her professional journey.
The ₦2 million donation and Bole Hore presented during the visit added a tangible expression to that gratitude, while her prayer for the late actor reflected her spiritual remembrance of him.
