Popular actor Jigan Babaoja known as ‘Sho mo aje mi ni’ has visited and donated an undisclosed amount to Nollywood actor, Baba Suwe whose health was said to have deteriorated.

Baba Suwe’s health challenge resurfaced in the social media space on Sunday, February 17, as a media personality who disclosed this on grounds of anonymity claimed that the veteran actor was terribly sick, adding that he had also not received any help from colleagues in the industry.

Moved by the post, Jigan however, visited the residence of the ailing actor. He was pictured handing over the cash gift to him.

Jigan revealed that Baba Suwe needs money to travel to the United States where he regularly receives medical attention.

“He needs medical attention in the USA ! After my discussion with him he needs to renew his passport and want to go to the USA where he normally receive his treatment !

We are at JBO foundation and our supporter all around the world would do our little support to make sure baba suwe get back to his fit ! And thanks to all JBO supporters for your contributions from South Africa, Canada, America and all around the world that sent me on this journey to look out and ask him what he needs to be done !

I pray God almighty bless you all and to all ! Get well soon Baba suwe adimeru! @thetimibalogun @guze_image_concept and to all my crew I say thank you all for your kindness ! Let’s make Nigeria a better place ! With all these contributions now my one kobo no Dey inside but I gave up my time and my heart to make sure we put smile on his face!,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the National President of the Theatre Art and Motions Pictures Producers Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN, Bolaji Amusan aka Mr. Latin has said the association had been taking care of Baba Suwe’s medical bills since 2017.

He made this known in Abeokuta on Monday, February 18, 2019, while reacting to claims that Baba Suwe’s colleagues have abandoned him despite his failing health.

Mr. Latin also said his colleague had been getting financial and moral support from TAMPAN since the news broke under the administration of immediate past President of the association, Dele Odule.

He said, ”I have just instructed the Lagos State executive of the association to check on him (Baba Suwe) to ascertain his health progress.

“I can tell you that we have not abandoned Baba Suwe, as well as any of our members, as being speculated in some quarters by mischief-makers.”

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.

Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has celebrated Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, his twin brother, on their 43rd birthday amid their ongoing feud.

The twin brothers have been in the public eyes since their second fallout in August.

They had their first rift in 2017 which led to the dissolution of Psquare, their music brand. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Responding to the accusations, Jude said he had done everything possible, even “sacrificing himself,” to mend the rift between his brothers.

In an Instagram post on Monday, Peter shared several photos showcasing their growth over the years.

He also celebrated their birthday while wishing himself as well as his twin brother more wins.
