Actor Saidi Balogun and his family have marked the posthumous birthday of his late daughter, Zeenat Balogun, with a tribute that also coincided with World Sickle Cell Day
Saidi’s son, Khalid Balogun, shared a collaborative video on Instagram featuring family members and friends reflecting on Zeenat’s life, her personality, and the impact she had on those around her.
The family used the occasion not only to honour her memory but also to draw attention to Sickle Cell Anaemia, a condition she lived with during her lifetime.
“We only die when we are forgotten. Today, the Balogun family remembers and celebrates the life of our beloved firstborn, Zeenat Balogun, on her posthumous birthday. Though the challenges of Sickle Cell Anaemia marked her journey, she faced every battle with remarkable strength, courage, and grace, leaving behind memories that continue to inspire us every day.
“As we honour her birthday, we also commemorate World Sickle Cell Day through this tribute video—raising awareness, celebrating resilience, and remembering the countless warriors fighting this condition. Zeenat may no longer be with us physically, but her love, light, and legacy remain forever alive in our hearts”, the statement reads.
Recall in October 2024 that Saidi Balogun lost his first daughter.

RIP
It’s almost impossible to forget a loved one. An adult is not easily forgotten, talk more of a child.
Rest on…
