Kira Taiwo, daughter of late Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, has made an emotional visit to her father's newly built gravesite, sharing a photo that captures the raw grief of losing a beloved parent. The actor passed away on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at the age of 66, and was laid to rest the following day in accordance with Islamic burial rites.
Taking to social media, Kira shared a photo from her visit to the graveside, which still bears the look of a freshly constructed, unfinished resting place. Rather than expressing her sorrow through grief alone, she framed the moment as a tender, private reunion with her father.
Kira's Heartfelt Message to Her Father
In her post, Kira wrote about attending Odunfa, an event she clearly associates closely with her father, and expressed uncertainty about how she would face it without him by her side. She also offered a prayer for his soul, asking Allah to forgive his sins and shortcomings.
In her words: "Chilling with my daddy. Just how I go to Odunfa when I miss him. I pray to Almighty Allah to forgive your sins and shortcomings, papa. You have all my love forever and always."
The photo, shared on Instagram, shows the gravesite in its early construction stage, with the emotional caption drawing reactions from fans and colleagues who continue to mourn the veteran actor.
Ogogo's Final Words to His Family
The visit comes shortly after Kira had revealed the details of her last conversation with her father. According to her, Taiwo Hassan told his children that their tears made him sad and that he would take time to think. He urged them to remain strong, assuring them that nothing would happen to him.
The contrast between those parting words and his sudden passing has made the loss all the more difficult for his family to process. Taiwo Hassan built a celebrated career in the Nigerian film industry, becoming one of Nollywood's most recognisable faces over several decades before his death.
