A recent viral video showing veteran actors Taiwo Hassan, aka Ogogo, and Yinka Quadri hugging each other is making waves on social media.
While the cause of the resolved long-standing feud remains unclear, what is clear is that the once-close allies, Ogogo and Quadri, fell out years ago.
The discord became more evident when Quadri was noticeably absent at the wedding and naming ceremony of Ogogo’s daughter, Shakirat Taiwo, in December 2023.
Shakira, a content creator, tied the knot with her footballer husband, Lawal Yusuf.
The veterans reconciled at actor Yomi Fabiyi’s dual celebration event—a housewarming and birthday party held on Wednesday, May 1, at Emfelix event and conference venue in Idiaba, Ogun State.
The star-studded gathering included esteemed actors and actresses such as Kareem Adepoju, popularly known as Baba Wande, Ladi Folarin, Idowu Philips, aka Iya Rainbow, Shola Kosoko, Toyosi Adesanya, Peju Ajiboye, among others.
In the now-viral footage, the legendary chanter Sulaiman Ajobiewe ended the actors’ feud.
In the video, Quadri was seen on stage spraying Ajobiewe, who sat on a chair and beckoned Ogogo to join them.
After a few moments, Ogogo joined Quadri, dressed in Agbada, on stage, and together they sprayed money on Ajobiewe.
As the actors stood together on stage, Ajobiewe chanted, “I pray God’s mercy upon you both. Whatever the issue, let it end here. We cannot live without occasionally offending one another.
“I implore you, in the name of God, embrace each other and let this be the end of it. I pleaded with you using my parents’ names to put this matter to rest. Let’s forgive and forget for the sake of God.”
The actors have now followed in the steps of other Nollywood bigwigs like actresses Toyin Abraham and Funke Akindele, who resolved their rivalry after years of contention over Box Office dominance.
