Daughters of late Nollywood actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, have announced plans to continue his legacy through acting and film production, asking fans to support their careers as they establish themselves in the industry.
Kira and Haleemah Hassan made the appeal in an appreciation video published on Kira Ogogo TV on YouTube, where they thanked supporters for the encouragement they received following their father’s death.
The sisters said they intended to remain in the film industry and hoped to build a connection with audiences who admired their father’s work.
They also urged fans to watch and share their productions on YouTube and other platforms to help their projects reach wider audiences.
“We’re here to stay,” the sisters said, appealing to the public to extend to them the affection and support Ogogo received during his lifetime.
They added that the positive messages shared online after his death had brought them comfort during their period of grief.
Ogogo died on August 23 and was buried at his residence in Ilaro, Ogun State, the following day in accordance with Islamic rites.
The actor was known for his roles in Yoruba-language films and his commanding screen presence, earning him recognition among audiences of the genre.

The sisters also expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu, Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat, for their support following the actor’s death.
They extended their appreciation to Tayo Ayinde, Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor, and Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun.
The daughters reserved special recognition for Ogun West Senator Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, whom they praised for his close relationship with their father and the support he extended to the family.
They described the senator’s involvement as significant, saying he had treated Ogogo like a brother.
The sisters also thanked the Minister of Arts, Culture and Tourism, Hannatu Musa Musawa, for visiting the family and standing by them during the difficult period.
Their appeal signals their intention to pursue careers in Nollywood while keeping their father’s name connected to the industry through their own work.
