Saidi Balogun has something
to tell those who care to listen – the actor has debunked his
ex-wife’s claim that he filed a court case against her due to her refusal to
drop his (Balogun) surname.
Saidi also said in his
latest press statement that he only had two kids with Fathia, that his supposed
third child belongs to another man.
Here’s his statement;
“Yesterday
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.
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!”
