TikTok Star Oloba Salo Cries Out for Help After Surviving Gunshot Attack — “I’m Not Happy, I Can’t Walk Again” 💔
Popular TikTok creator Odesanmi Opeyemi, widely known as Oloba Salo, has made an emotional appeal for support from the public and Nigerian celebrities, including singer Naira Marley, after revealing that a gunshot attack last year has left him unable to walk properly.
In a touching video shared on social media, Salo, who rose to fame with his lively skits and motivational content, spoke through tears about the heavy toll the incident has taken on his life.
“They shot me three times. I can’t walk with my legs again. I’m not happy; I’m going through a lot. I bought a house in Lekki, but I can’t stay there,” he said.
The content creator, who was reportedly attacked by unknown gunmen during a robbery in his car last year, added that he has been traumatized and struggling to recover, both physically and emotionally.
Opinion: Oloba Salo’s Cry Reveals a Deeper Pain Behind the Fame 🌧️
Salo’s story is a sobering reminder that behind every viral laugh or dance on TikTok, there are real humans — with real pain, fears, and battles we often never see.
It’s heartbreaking to see a young creator, once known for his infectious energy, now pleading for help simply to walk again. His tears go beyond physical pain; they reflect the loneliness and silence that often follow tragedy, even for those who once lived in the spotlight.
In a society where fame is fleeting and empathy is often selective, Salo’s cry for help should stir something deeper — a call for compassion. It’s not just about financial support but about giving attention to the mental and emotional well-being of victims who suffer quietly after trauma.
As Nigerians rally around entertainers when they shine, it’s equally important to stand by them when the lights go out. Because sometimes, a simple act of care or solidarity can help someone like Salo find hope again — and maybe, one day, rise to dance once more.
💬 In the end, healing begins when a cry is heard — and answered.
