Please read Saidi's statement concerning his ex-wife's
accusation that Saidi lied about their being in court over 'name
cusody'.
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!
