A traditional herbal practitioner has revealed that he declined a N10 million offer to treat veteran Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known as Ogogo, who is battling stage 4 cancer. The practitioner stated that the offer, which came from an individual based in the United States, was not enough to compromise his integrity, as he doubted the effectiveness of any treatment at such an advanced stage of the disease.
Herbalist Rejects N10 Million Offer for Ogogo's Treatment
In an interview with broadcaster Kola Olootu, the herbal practitioner explained that he was approached by a person living in America who hoped he could intervene in the actor's deteriorating health. The healer said he did not hesitate to turn down the money, emphasizing that not every sum of money is worth pursuing and that his personal integrity was non-negotiable. According to the practitioner, both herbal and conventional medical treatments yield the best outcomes when a patient is identified early, and he was candid about the limits of intervention at an advanced stage.
He described human efforts at that point as a trial rather than a reliable path to recovery, stating that once a condition reaches a critical stage, any form of treatment becomes more of an attempt than a guarantee. The practitioner's comments have sparked reactions on social media, with many users expressing concern over Ogogo's condition.

Let your Will be done Ooo Lord." @fifty_kobo wrote: "My mum was diagnosed at stage 2 in the USA and she was commenced in immediate treatment. Within 6 months, it had advanced to stage 4. If it were to be in Nigeria I'm sure a large percentage would say 'take her abroad!'"
@djneorise noted: "You human beings are meant to be kpai either small talk or little mistakes and you know why? over Sabi of mouth of anyhow talk... ayeleeee." The reactions highlight the widespread concern about Ogogo's health and the challenges of treating advanced cancer.
Ogogo's Last Public Appearance Amid Cancer Diagnosis
Legit.ng also reported a video capturing Ogogo's last public appearance amid his stage 4 cancer diagnosis. The video, shared in June 2026, showed the Nollywood actor and his daughter at an event, where Ogogo appeared hearty as he exchanged pleasantries with a guest. The clip provided a glimpse of the actor's condition before his health deteriorated further, underscoring the rapid progression of the disease.
The practitioner's refusal to treat Ogogo, despite the substantial N10 million offer, has raised questions about the effectiveness of herbal and conventional treatments for late-stage cancer. The healer's focus on integrity and the limits of medical intervention at an advanced stage has resonated with many, as Ogogo continues to battle the illness.
