Balogun directed that once he dies, any healthy organs should be donated to people in need, and whatever remains of his body should be handed over to a medical institution for training future doctors. He says he wants his body to remain useful to humanity even after death.
He explained that a recent medical alert forced him to confront the possibility of not surviving, and he was inspired by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who wrote his final will shortly before his passing.
Balogun is one of the pioneers of Nigerian cinema, known for films and documentaries in English, Yoruba, Pidgin and Igbo. His works include Alpha, Ija Ominira, Amadi, Nigersteel, Ajani Ogun, Musik Man and Oorun Moru.

ReplyDeleteWOW 😳
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Thank you for loving humanity sir
ReplyDeleteA well respected Thespian who has done well for his country👏 I think Bruce Willis is donating his brain too after he dies 🧠 God bless you for this benevolence sir.
ReplyDeleteI love his mindset. This is the mindset of some people in Europe and The Americas.
ReplyDeleteWe in Africa and Asia/Arab put so much value in a dead body, some even spend thousands of dollars and Euros to transport it back home for burial, where it will rot and become sand.
I wish I have the will power to do what he did
Fresh after all said and done you still are a typical African or don't you see?
Delete15:56, is it your brain that is paining you or your eyes? Or you just need an excuse to mention my name? Cos even a kindergarten child knows the meaning of "WE Africans" that I wrote in my comment..
DeleteGet out!
Kidney and eyes of an 80 year old man..not that useful
ReplyDeleteWe have people qell ove 90 that have fantastic eye sights in the west. So do not use age to discriminate what body part is good or bad
DeleteGiving to humanity even in death
ReplyDeleteThis is one thing i think i will do too. Donate my body to science. The average African does not like donating their bodies to science but when a body part is needed we are looking for donors all over the place. My uncle passed in the UK of kidney related issues whilst waiting for a donor. My cousin told us that he overheard the nurses commenting this exact thing. Blacks don't like donating but want to be on the queue for replacement parts.
ReplyDeleteWow! It is well
