Fathia and Saidi Baloguns divorce case draws nearer, several media outfits has taken special interest in the developing stories of the couple. Some reports gathered that, Saidi dragged Fathia to court for using the name ‘Balogun’ meanwhile Saidi has taken his time to dispel the rumor. He pointed out something which wasn’t so obvious to every one before now. Here is the statement from Saidi: i was
accused of lying to the press on a recent rumor that has been circulating. i
separated from my ex-wife fathia balogun in 2006, over 7 years ago. Since we were legally married in court, we had to legally divorce in court to
finalize the issue. the public is welcome to go to the lagos high court to
verify these records. SEE MORE AFTER CUT>>>>>
This has absolutely nothing to do with any name, i am not asking or forcing fathia to stop using the name balogun, as it is one of the
most common yoruba names.
furthermore, to set
the record straight, fathia and i had two children together
not three. fathia’s first child is from a different husband that
she later divorced before we were married. i never lied to anyone.
Journalists presented me with a rumor that had no basis in fact, so i simply
stated that i do not want my private life made public. it is my privacy and
concerns nobody.
i decided to stay quiet as the two parties involved in this issue are over 40
years old, and i think we are old enough to handle this issue maturely instead
of turning our private matters into a public gossip debate.
i hope this issue is now clarified for the public, as i saidi balogun am
divulging the true facts myself instead of using a misinformed publicist to do
so for me.
there are so many positive aspects of nigeria’s entertainment industry, we
would rather focus on negative meaningless noise instead of these positive
components.
please give me the respect of keeping my personal life private and out of the
public eye. i am focusing on my work. Thank you
