Rumour has it that Actor Saheed Balogun wants his Actor ex wife Fathia to drop his name…''Balogun''
A few years back,after their bitter break up,Saheed was quoted to have said “She is my ex. As for my name that she is still answering, the deed will be done soon. The Nigerian law says that after three or four years, you can do something about it. If somebody wants to keep my name, what of the new person coming in? This has nothing to do with grudges.”
Fathia was equally quoted as saying “I laugh, my name is Fathia Balogun and it’s going to remain Balogun; nobody can ever change that and nobody can stop me from answering that name.”
I don't know why this is happening but since she acquired some amount of fame with the Balogun name,isn't she entitled to retain that name irrespective of whether she is still married to him or not?
What does the Nigerian law actually say regarding situations like this?
She has worked hard with that name and i think it would be unfair to ask her to drop it…Saheed should take several seats abeg,there are lots of people answering the name 'BALOGUN' who are not related to him,he should regard Fathia as one of these people.
Fathia has two kids as well for him,isn't that enough reason?
*I wonder why people break up and try to tear each other down despite having kids together,na wah!
You dey mind Saheed ni? If I were Fathia, I will drop it today and change it the following week.. Someone on Laila's blog calls it deed poll. Isn't Cheryl still using Cole? Oshisco.
ReplyDeleteFYI,Cheryl was Miss Cole before getting married to Ashley so she doesn't need a change of name.
DeleteHian! You are now quoting cross-quoting from blog to blog. O ga!
Delete@Anon 12:53 PM, please google is your friend O! Cheryl Cole was Miss Cheryl Tweedy. You obviously don't know her.
DeleteAnon 12.53 u are a muppet. Cheryl was miss tweedy , google it!
DeleteAnon 12:53 ma fi bread ko wa lomi obe je o kai. Her maiden name was Tweedy before she married Ashley nd later divorced. Na wa o u think say we sef no current. Msheeeew
DeleteStella u wan gossip dis early morning, she should drop d name, they arent vmarriied joor
ReplyDeleteDis guy should chill abeg,guess he just wants 2 hurt her 4 no reason...
ReplyDeleteThere are countless Baloguns so Saheed should sit his dirty ass down....
DeleteWhy is his face red? Was he sitting near a furnace in the hot sun? This man uses mercury joor.
ReplyDeleteLmaoooo
DeleteSaheed why r u still pained? After all, u left her ni naw. Anyways,I see d new woman's hand in dis. Saheed is so annoying. Are u also goin to ask ur kids to drop d name as well? Mumusko like u.
ReplyDeleteThe two of them should chop bitter leaf!!!
ReplyDeleteSaheed, pls let this lady be, she has two kids for you, she has not marry another husband, if your children want their mum to retain the name Balogun, OLE KO WON LOMO! !
ReplyDeleteHaba mama tea please take it easy! Lmao u wan scatter stella blog with thy bombs. And what makes u think the children have the right to dictate that? Yorubatica idiot mtshewew
DeleteIgbotic fool.
DeleteSaheed should let her keep the name for the sake of the kids they have together.. See why I don't blame some women that still bear their father's name after marriage. Also I need advice on what to use on my face & body to achieve this shiny bridal look.. My wedding is coming up. Abeg help a Sister with glowing secrets!drop names of good cream, soap for body & face.. My face is very oily & I breakout a lot.. Thanks worried lady..

ReplyDeleteWell a woman has a right to bear the same name as her children eveb though you are not married to their father. So If I wish, I could wake up tomorrow and change my surname to my daughter's surname. No shaking. Saheed is just an illiterate. Period! Most guys are anyway. *yinmu*
ReplyDeleteU people should be truthful na.... Was it not marriage that gave her the name? So since they aren't 2geda again why is she still using it? It has nothing to do with the kids... They kids would still bear there father's name while she she should bear her maiden name... U can't not be with some one and still bear his name.... So if he marries a new wife,they will be bearing Balogun?
ReplyDeleteAnd for u saying Cheryl Cole,an agreement was reached... So if she wants to keep it,she should have an agreement with him,if he refuse,she should drop it,he can take her to court for it if he wants cos he gave her the name
saheed mind dey drink gulder as fathia still dey use d name.he jst want to speek out bcos of his new maga....
ReplyDeleteGuy needs to chill. He is no Tejuoso!, any stray cat or dog on the sidewalk can bear Balogun.
ReplyDeleteShe sef make she respect herself and give am back him name joor,is it by force?
ReplyDeleteIs the name bound to heaven's royalty?
If they have successfully completed their divorce,i think she should drop the name and bow out gracefully!
Der is no law dat condones such nonsense!!
ReplyDeleteOnce u r divorced , u divorce d name 2!!
D reason y des inferiority complexed women such as Fathia,
TamekaRaymond (Usher's ex),
NicoleMurphy (Eddie Murphy's ex), ToyaCater (lil wayne's ex),
Ivana Trump (Donald Trump's ex),
ShaunieO' neal (Shaquille O' neal's ex), Kimora lee Simons (Russ Simon's ex)
and so on keep des lastnames is 2 still remain famous and rip benefits after divorce!!
Dey know d lastnames will open doors 4 dem, der4 keeping dem relevant!!
Once dey change to der maiden names, dey vanish off d face of d earth!!
So Saheed has every ryt 2 sue dat camel-faced woman!!
*rme*

I'm sure you are ugly inside and out.You feel all these your yeye remarks are nice.Let us see your own donkey face. Yeye person.Sad human being.
DeleteShe made her name,just that she was married to him when she did. She's not staying relevant off him,infact,in the movie industry,she's got more fame than Saheed @ d moment.
DeleteAnd the biggest beneficiary of them all is kimora lee Simons!
DeleteMaybe Fathia is trying to grow up to be like her'#rme#
It is very simple, she should drop d name. Y hold onto something that will probably remind you of the bitter past. Or didn't she have a name before marrying d dude??? Just wondering!...EEE!!!
ReplyDeleteShe kuku had a name o.She was Fathia Williams. I loved her in 'London la wa' movie.i think that was her 1st movie.love d way she was calling aunty asake about.now that cutie has turned to something else.
DeleteNobody should tell saheed to let her be,she should drop his name abeg,afterall they have seperated,she just used saheed to gain fame,she has been a hustler since when she used fake passport to go to the uk,she had a son,abandoned him there,came to nigeria to. Start looking for fame,met mumu saheed lied about her past,saw that he could help her situation,milked him untill she attained the level of stardom she wanted and moved on.How won't he be pained,pls if u don't know the story don't coment,u will just see people on tv and assume they are saints.
ReplyDeleteCNN ekabo.Information minister eku ise.
DeleteShe should drop his name abeg. Why would a woman b sleeping around after divorce with different scandals and still b tagged with her ex husband's name, no man would like that. If she drops it, peole will get used to her new surname over time.
ReplyDeleteFathia, biko drop his Balogun and adopt my family name free of charge. Its Balogun too. Balogun is too common a name for all this yanga Saheed is making.
ReplyDeleteAfterall, the law allows you to adopt any name you wish. Just do a change of name notice. From Fathia Balogun to Fathia Balogun.
He should let her be because of the kids. Though i sense the new wife to be is the one pushing this.
ReplyDeleteMr saheed u r jux a local fool that's why,yur EX is doing better than you and you are so pained,go and tell IG of police to drop the balogun 4rm his name,its a common name so take a chilled pill.mumu
ReplyDeletePolice IG is Abubakar,not Balogun.
DeleteSaheed jus want to be heard in the news pls pay him NO attention foolish man
ReplyDeleteSaheed should take a chill pill abegi!!! Are you the only one bearing Balogun??? Abi you copyright the name???
ReplyDeleteShaheed is not the only Balogun...name is a name...and anyone can decide to change their name to whatever they please...there are only few names in the entire world that u can't change your name too officially..So Fathia can retain the name as long as she want...it's show biz...look at Tina Turner...she still retain the bully Ik Turners name...not because she is desperate to hold on to him..but that's d name associated with her show biz ...so Saheed Abeg..you don't have a case here...she gave you british citizenship too...she wants that back if you want your name back too!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know what the Nigerian law says about such matters. But I do remember that when Ike Turner and Tina Turner got divorced, Tina had the court rule in favour of her keeping the "Turner" name. If that kind of law applies here, then she could go for it.
ReplyDeleteHahahah..I laff in pidgin. Pls is d name "BALOGUN" exclusively for saheed? Like stella said,there are plenty of baloguns who r not related to saheed. So he shld simply regard her as one of such pple. He should pls go and sleep!
ReplyDeleteHehehehehe..It's Peau Claire he uses
ReplyDeleteMummy kamsi u just cracked me up big tym...wat of caro tone..
DeleteStella i think you should reason deeply before you take sides, because most times you come across as a chauvinist when it comes to women matters, i still don't want to call you a feminist. They are divorced last time i checked, not separated, she has no right to still continue to use his name to the benefit of her brand, it's illegal. If you are not accustomed with the customary law, don't give ignorant opinion!! My two cents.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't yet,the matter is pending in court
DeleteShe should drop his name it belong's to another woman now. i don't understand some women.
ReplyDeleteonly our people will come out to justify something that is clearly absurd,wrong morally and legally.the man's name is not joint property of their marriage it has been in existence before he met or married his wife so the moment their marriage ceased she has absolutely no right to continue using the name.
ReplyDeleteif you think its ok for her to continue using it,what of saheed balogun's other family members? especially considering the shameful tales of infidelity and other moral vices that has been trailing her all these years?
if she wants to continue using the name let her go through the proper channels by applying to use the name and paying for it.her career and brand should not be based on someone else's name.
i applaud the guy for taking it to court hopefully her ignorance of the law will be remedied after this
No luca.its lawful to keep the name.Ask a lawyer or ask Mrs tessy ikimi why she still answers tom's last name, . Better still,read up the brief of Tina Turner's divorce case. Ike turner was told to zip it in court when he asked Tina to drop the name.its Fathia's perogative.
DeleteThank u mr. Luca
DeleteLuca know it all.Shio
DeleteShe changed her name from Faith to Faithia for him. If you ask me,Faith Williams sounds better than Fathia Balogun,but that's part of the sacrifices she made for love. He should let her be.
DeleteShe should drop d name cos she don't respect d name.wen dey were 2gether she slept around wit dat name.wen dey seperated she still sleeping around wit d name.u guys were no more 2gether it better she drop d name.saheed is not her first hubby.dis guy is d second hubby she got kids 4.saheed don't worry if she refuse to drop ur name third hubby is coming u ll still b free.
ReplyDeleteMadam stellz, its 'whether' not 'weather'
ReplyDeleteThank me now! Lol

ReplyDeleteIn my own opinion,I think she shld juz drop d name joor...they r no longer married and she's got no right to d name....KSB did somtin of dat nature frm Kenny saint Brown to Kenny saint Best.....she's a popular actress n can always build a new brand...#sipsbaron
ReplyDeleteThis woman is shameless. You are dragging name with someone that has come out publicly to tell you to drop his name. You are divorced and no longer his wife. Shift Abeg let another woman enjoy her husbands name in peace. It is good he had come out so in future you will not be dragging property with the rightful owner. Shameless manly waka waka. Men should be careful before marrying loose women that will waka with their names. She's obviously saying she is a nobody and has always been before Saidi or without his name. Make a new name for yourself under your maiden name. The owner of the name has warned you
ReplyDeleteOh! Neva knew saheed is d second man. Hmmmm! Dats serious.
ReplyDeletewhat is in the name of these two unfortunate fellows. Muslim name for that matter.
ReplyDeleteWhen did Balogun become a Muslim name? Your ignorance and d hate in ur heart is really making u dull.
DeleteAnonymous 17, I laugh in chinese, abeg google is ur friend. She was cheryl tweedy....which kain yeye miss cole...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous November 30, 2013 at 12:53 PM; the confidence in your ignorance is startling.
ReplyDeleteHer name is Cheryl Tweedy and her marital name is Mrs. Cole. You will probably say Posh Spice was Miss Beckham too. Shakes head.
Aunty stella don't mind him, he they run follow one britico Yoruba babe for london, the babe never green for him, body they pain the guy, he wan get british passport by all means
ReplyDelete@wide eyed
ReplyDeleteto be honest i dont know the legal position but i will check it out..but do we have same divorce laws as the united states though?
i would have though most of our laws including divorce are aligned with the british more than america
Anon 17 Cherly's maiden name is wait for it TWEEDY abeg how that take come resemble Cole? The Cole name she acquired after marriage when she was in Girls Aloud group as a single girl her name was Cherly Tweedy. Google before you write is the new talk before you think jor
ReplyDeleteIf I was Fathia I would legally change my name to Balogun just to spite him does he have the patent rights to the name Balogun that one out of three in Lagos bears abeg Saheed take several seats jare!
ReplyDeleteMuch as I like and read this blog I get pissed off when people will see the truth and still be saying different thing,we are Nigerians,and we all have culture,when you are no longer married to the man you drop his name,people should be honest in their comments,
ReplyDeleteAbeg she shld drop the stupid name for him.yeye
ReplyDeleteAre they nt coming 2geda again?? Nawa oo. Pls they shld settle dis nonsense nah. See their beautiful kids!! Me I love me sum Faithia!! Dazall.
ReplyDeleteWhich British citizenship I beg? Who dash faithia British pali? Mtchw
ReplyDeleteyeye name of yeye man mschewwwwwww,its her right to keep the name cos of her kids abeg,infact this saheed is just a looser for real,if i´m faithia i would drop his yeyenatu name and reverse to faith williams,that is even sexier sef. Abora onisekuse okunrin ve never liked him from day one i always wondered why fathia married him.
ReplyDeleteIts just but a name! grow up man!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeye Saidi. After sleeping with other people's wives, he was wishing for a faithful Faithia, lol. What a laugh.
