Saidi Balogun, an actor, discusses his personal struggles in the past year.

 

Saidi Balogun, who is an actor, has opened up about his struggles in the last year.

Balogun revealed that the challenges tested his strength and faith, but he remains grateful for the support of his loved ones.

Just months ago, he talked about the devastating loss of his daughter and how it "broke" him beyond human comprehension.

He hints at a recent health issue by referencing a birthday photoshoot where he only showed one hand.

He shared new photos showing his bandaged hand and wrote: "It has been a tough ride. Last year, in February, on my birthday, I was optimistic with lots of laid-out plans and then came the challenges I never envisioned.

"The worst of which was losing my precious loving and lovable daughter, this broke me in pieces beyond human comprehension.  

"Thank God for people who stood by me during those trying times. I started this year with hope, and then, a few days before my birthday, the devil struck again… for those who have been asking, this is the reason why my birthday shoot had only one hand displayed.  

“All in all, I will keep saying Alhamdulilah, for Allah will never forsake us. Challenges will come to test your strength, so never lose your faith, remain strong and steadfast. May the Almighty be with us all.”
