Veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, widely known as Ogogo, has spoken about his seven-year struggle with a chronic ulcer.
In a recent interview, he shared that the condition left him extremely weak, limiting his diet to only pap and prompting him to seek treatment from multiple sources.
Hassan described the experience as a deeply difficult time, recalling episodes of vomiting blood and intense chest pain.
He expressed gratitude to those who supported him during this time and managed to hold on to his properties without selling it off.
“I don’t smoke or take weed, I was going to a film location one day then I suddenly felt a sharp chest pain radiating to my back, within five minutes, I didn’t feel comfortable again.
“I had a friend with me in the car but he couldn’t drive, by the time we got to the location I wasn’t okay, that’s where I met Remi Surutu and she asked what was wrong, she assumed it was ulcer.
“The second day I went to the hospital and I was diagnosed with chronic ulcer. For a good seven years, I was ill. I started vomiting blood for seven months, I prayed while sitting, and I couldn’t eat anything except pap.
“It was a terrible period of my life. When I started collecting different kinds of treatments and going from place to place, I thanked both mën and women. The only thing I couldn’t do then was go to locations often, and I never sold any properties,” he said.
