Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun has narrated how President Bola Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi facilitated plans for him to receive medical treatment abroad following a serious accident several years ago.

Balogun made the disclosure during an interview on OYINMOMO TV, stating that the couple’s swift intervention and concern for his health left a lasting impression.

He said the accident left him in a critical condition, prompting the President and his wife to insist that he be flown overseas for specialised care.

Although he later received quality treatment within Nigeria, Balogun noted that their readiness to act decisively on his behalf deeply moved him.

Recalling a conversation with the First Lady, the actor said he asked why she had gone to such lengths to support him. She responded, “You are a star of God, and they must not let your light dim.”

Balogun said the remark reshaped his outlook on life and reinforced the importance of compassion. He added that he has since embraced the belief that caring for others attracts divine protection for one’s own family, a principle he intends to uphold.

Balogun said, “When I had an accident. President Tinubu and his wife stepped in and asked that I be taken abroad for treatment. I was well treated in Nigeria. I asked aunty why she did it.

“She said, ‘You are a star of God, and they must not let your light dim.’ It was from her I learnt that if you take care of someone else’s child, God will take care of yours.”

Comedian KlintonCod has said having eight Ferraris in one’s driveway is a mental health issue.

He, however, made it clear that his opinion could change if he becomes rich.

He said on X, “Maybe its because i am still broke but having 8 Ferrari’s in your driveway if you dont sell cars is a mental health issue, atleast to me.”

His words sparked a debate, with many pointing out that having such possession could be a war of fulfilling one’s dreams.

@MySpenda said, “No it’s not… Having those cars is a dream come through for him and again it’s a good way of saving your money and a good investment too.”

@naijacivic said, “it’s inferiority complex! And before the mob will say am jealous, I have 4 vehicles in a western working society, one of which is an official vehicle. The cost of one Ferrari alone can be put into stocks or real estate. Anyway to each their own!”

@TEE9ine2 said, “Not at least to you sir…
Even if you are a car thief, you can’t behave like that.
Isn’t it wise to sell some Ferrari and acquire the new models (even of it’s the 3 latest models in your collection)
It’s so unwise but some people will call it poverty mentality.”
