Veteran Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun has expressed deep heartbreak while promoting the last movie of his late daughter, Zeenat Balogun, titled “Maid For a Day.”
Sharing a touching video teaser of the film on his social media page, the Yoruba movie star admitted it was painful to post but emphasized that true talent can never be hidden.
“This hurts to post, but light can never be hidden under a shade. My daughter Zeenat Balogun’s last movie before she moved on to glory, barely 2 weeks after ‘Maid For a Day’. Ready for the screens,”
— Saidi Balogun wrote.
The emotional post drew several reactions from fans and colleagues who sympathized with the grieving father.
Actress Temi Kosoko commented:
“Zee baby, the world will still hear your name as loud as you wanted it.”

Recall that in October 2024, Saidi Balogun announced the passing of his first daughter, Zeenat. The actor had shared a candlelit image surrounded by flowers and heartbroken emojis to break the devastating news.
In a heartfelt statement, Saidi described his daughter as “a warrior who gave life her all and embodied joy, acceptance, and resilience.” He also referred to her as “a die-hard believer in the phrase ‘never give up.’”
Earlier this month, during her one-year remembrance, Saidi posted a video of Zeenat with a moving message, reflecting on how her memory remains alive in his heart. His ex-wife, Faithia Williams, also took a brief break from social media to mourn their late daughter, before returning with a tribute post appreciating fans for their support and prayers.
