Actor Taiwo Hassan talks about his seven-year struggle with an odd illness, saying, “I thought I had died.”

In an interview on Oyinmomo TV, the veteran Yoruba actor revealed that for seven years, he prayed while sitting and couldn’t eat anything except pap. He described the experience as a terrible period of his life.

Taiwo recalled how he went from place to place and received different treatment. Ogogo said the only thing he couldn’t do then was go to movie locations, and he never sold any properties

The veteran added that he thought he would die and threw away his Mecca teeth.

“For a good seven years, 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
