He said he was surprised by their decision and had asked the First Lady why she went to such lengths on his behalf. Balogun said she told him he was a star given by God and that his light must not go out.
He added that her words changed the way he sees life and kindness. The actor noted that from that moment, he understood the value of looking after others.
He said he learned that when a person cares for another person’s child, God in return watches over their own children.
He said: “When I had an accident. President Tinubu and his wife stepped in and asked that I be taken abroad for treatment. I was well treated in Nigeria. I asked aunty why she did it.
“She said, ‘You are a star of God, and they must not let your light dim.’ It was from her I learnt that if you take care of someone else’s child, God will take care of yours.”
