Actor Aina Gold has expressed appreciation for veteran actor Taiwo Hassan, also known as Ogogo, referring to him as his industry ‘small god’.

He described Taiwo Hassan in a recent interview, as a mentor who picked him up, trained him, and helped him grow in the industry despite his physical stature and height.

Gold praised Taiwo Hassan’s selflessness, noting that he never hesitated to invest in his talent, even when others might have doubted his potential.

He said: “He picked me, trained me and brought me up despite my stature and height. He didn’t think that if he trains me and brings me to his standard, people might start calling him for my roles and he might be abandoned.

But he never thought that way. He is such a good man. I give that to him anyway and anytime. That’s why if he calls me for anything or invites me to his hometown, I’ll always answer. Alhaji Taiwo is my small god in the industry”.

Aina Gold also spoke highly of his relationship with actress Mide Martins, describing her as a free-minded and cheerful person with whom he shares a strong bond.

Aina Gold appreciated the opportunity to work with Mide Martins and Afeez Owo on various projects, highlighting their good chemistry and Martins’ pleasant personality.

“Most times when they’re working, Mide and I will sit and gist for a while because our chemistry is very tight. She’s a free-minded human being. She’s very cheerful; you can’t help but like her”.
