Nollywood actor, Saidi Balogun, has recalled the agony he experienced when his daughter, Zeenat, a student of the University of Lagos then, died last year.
He said the tragedy was so devastating that it broke him into pieces.
Balogun noted so as he recounts a health challenge he has just passed through, which again happened in February, around his birth-day that death of Zeenat happened.
He reflected on Instagram on Thursday:
“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.”
