Some months back, Nollywood actress, Fathia Balogun, released a statement which stated that the ex-wife of popular actor, Saidi Balogun, has finally dropped the actor’s name and would now be addressed as Fathia Williams.
Saidi Balogun and Fathia were married for more than ten years with two children before the couple decided to part ways with neither party speaking on what was responsible for the separation. They both insisted that they have not divorced but only separated.
The couple had since moved on with their lives after the supposed separation, with Saidi Balogun rumoured to have remarried secretly, while Fathia on the other hand is yet to remarry and was said to have adopted Williams due to a court injunction.
Saidi had approached a court in Lagos to stop Fathia from answering Balogun since they are no longer married couple.
Fathia, in her usual controversial style, caused a stir in Ibadan last week, during the national election of newly floated Theatre body, Theatre Arts and Movie Practitioners Association of Nigeria, (TAMPAN), when she threatened to attack a journalist, who attempted to snap her her while she was eating when the election was on.
A hot argument ensued between Fathia and the photographer, with Fathia saying "If I catch you snapping me because I am eating amala and ewedu, I will break your camera and destroy it", she threatened the photographer.
The actress emerged TAMPAN’s Social Director and was presented a certificate of return, with her name boldly written as Fathia Balogun as against Williams, which she has been answering before then.
When asked why Williams was not written on her certificate, Fathia simply said: "Why do you want to know that? I think the prerogative to use whatever name I choose is mine and not yours. Today is about TAMPAN election, not Fathia or Balogun nor Williams," she said.
