Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun and his family have honoured his late daughter, Zeenat Balogun, on the occasion of her posthumous birthday.
In a video posted on Instagram by Saidi’s son, Khalid, the whole family spoke highly of the deceased.
Khalid said they are celebrating the life Zeenat lived. According to him, his sister’s journey was marked by the challenges of sickle cell anaemia, yet she faced every battle with remarkable strength, courage, and grace.
He said they are also commemorating World Sickle Cell Day through the tribute video, raising awareness, celebrating resilience and remembering the countless warriors fighting the condition. Khalid said that though Zeenat is no longer with them physically, her love, light, and legacy remain forever alive in their hearts.
Saidi Balogun had announced in October 2024 that he had lost his first daughter. He described the deceased as a warrior who gave life all and was the embodiment of joy, acceptance, and resilience.
