The veteran actor Saheed Balogun, on the viral show #WithChude shares stories he has never told anyone before. He recalls the terrifying aftermath of a car accident that left him bedridden for three months, and the life-altering lessons he learned during that time. “Nobody thought I would survive,” Saheed reflects. But surviving that ordeal gave him a new perspective: if he could overcome that, he could overcome anything life threw at him.
Years later, Saheed faced another major setback when he invested N25 million into a film project, only to have the film pirated, yielding a mere N800,000 in return. In this exclusive interview, he reveals for the first time that the loss left him homeless and struggling to survive. His mother, reminding him of his resilience, offered him strength when he needed it the most. “If you could survive that accident, you will survive this too,” she told him, helping him find hope in the face of despair.
In this exclusive interview, Saheed also touches on managing public controversies, including marriage ‘scandals’ and his support for political figures, such as Bola Tinubu. A revered actor with over 40 years in the industry, Saheed is still growing stronger.
