Saheed Balogun reportedly drags wife fathia to court over name

According to unconfirmed reports, popular actor Saheed Balogun has dragged his ex-wife actress Fathia Balogun to court over the use of his name, Balogun, insisting that she drops it. The two were married for many years before ending their union, which produced three children, a few years ago.

Saheed has been trying for years to get Fathia to revert to her maiden name but Fathia has always insisted she made a career using the name and has no plans to ever drop it.
"My name is Fathia Balogun and it’s going to remain Balogun for life. Nobody can ever change that or stop me from answering that name" She said in an interview in 2011.
Well, now Saheed has reportedly gone to court to get her to drop the name. Can the courts really force her to drop her ex-husband's name? And why is Saheed so insistent on this, how does it affect him?

@sinzu said...

Linda dont be such a sexist. I am saying this to you not as a comment! Whenever she is interviewed, how do you think she will say she got this name? Dude doesnt want anything to ever do with her again!

I am beginning to lose my respect for you Linda. Haba! You are supporting her with style. You should stay afloat, neither here nor there!

Cute G said...

Probably because her personal identity has been consolidated in that name, to go back (to her maiden name) is almost like she is a different person. It is not even about the man anymore, it's really the name she has come to know as hers.

She likes d name na and besides na only him de bear Balogun,she chose to bear d name.Make he go sleep jo.Why do pple make case out of nothing??

Man as far as she does not use your name to dupe people; commit crime or mock you, while not leave her to bear the name, though you are divorce, don,t you remember that you once told her that you love her and remember that she had children for you, take her as your ex-wife and ignore even if she like let him bear your first name...everyone knew that it is your ex and i do not think it will take anything from you......... except if she is wayward

I surport Saheed Balogun. Fathia should drop that name, this man has already remarried! All this desperate women i am sure she is doing it just to disturb the new wife. Fathia move on, Saheed has moved on already.

Saheed is either plain stupid or still in love with Fathia but don't know how to approach Fathia again... Either way he'll loose. He should be happy that his surname is worth answering, some people's surname is cursed.

Eventhough she decide to drop d name, Nigerian's will still know her has fathia balogun. Get ready to suit all her fans laughing.

I say keep the name Fathia! Ivana Trump did and she is remarried you know why because she knows the weight the Trump name carries and she more or less contributed to the growth of the Trump empire so if Balogun is what made you who you are today and is bringing in the bacon by all means keep it!

Balogung is a generic name in Nigeria. Some bear the name by chieftaincy title self...so I don't know why that bleached Tourette sounding actor called Saheed is making noise.
Anyway all Fatiha has to do is change her name by DEED POLL to Fatiha Balogun that way the name will not be derivable from marriage to this unfocused loser. He's just envious of her success in the acting world even after their separation....mscheeeeew!

CASE STUDY: Ike Turner and Tina Turner. Tina had to concede to Ike Turner keeping the rights to the music she made while married to him in order to retain the surname 'Turner' hence she remains TINA TURNER. Fathia should call Saheed and work it out with him.

Anonymous said...

Abeg is that no one knows that the law allows her bear the name so long as she doesn't use it for fraudulent purposes. Saheed will only succeed in court if he proves that. Read the marriage act for reference.

since their divorce is final, she should have some dignity and rid herself of his last name, isnt that the whole idea?.it'l be foolhardy to think the name is what brought her stardom in the first place ,celebrities change names all the time. if she is good, she will remain relevant

lt is wishful thinking if Saheed thinks the court will grant his request. Does he have a patent for the name "Balogun"? Balogun is a common name borne by millions of Nigerians that are not even related to each other. He has money to waste on lawyers, so wetin concern us. He equally was not faithful to his wife dating several actresses and embarassing his wife. Fathia's profile has been on the rise lately while his is falling, so it bad belle that is worrying him.

Of course, the suit can't succeed...
The law, globe-over, allows a woman to maintain her nuptial name even after divorce...
Saheed's lawyer knows this full well, otherwise he trained in 419 Chicago like Tinubu...
Or probably wig wants to chop his money...
Or they probably want to shake the woman and blackmail her into doing what they want, knowing the consequence on the woman's career...
He could have also suggested she reverted to her original Faith, before marriage to a Muslim orchestrated Fathia...
Saheed is fucking mean and slovenly petty....

Move on loser. She has a right to keep the name if she wants to. Pretend its not "your" Balogun if it helps you sleep better at night. She has built a carrier with the name and that is really what you are fighting. It makes you so small and she did right in divorcing you! yeye man.

Can he stop the million of people bearing Balogun ? She acquired the name by marriage , even tho they are divorced it can't stop her from bearing the name . Shekina

shameless woman...had to wait till they dragged her sorry &*#@ to court before doing the right thing...shebi una don divorce, rebrand and change ur stage name. U dont even have to revert to ur maiden name... Fathia oloko pupo would just be okay

NA only him dey bear Balogun....HE can't force her! If she want to remain Balogun she will remain so! Not necessarily Saheed's Balogun.

WHY WOULD PEEPS SAY SAHEED IS LOOKIN FOR ATTENTION. ITS A NAME SHE ADOPTED BY VIRTUE OF THEIR UNION BY LAW, AND NOW PARTEDWAYS BY LAW, SO FATHIA DROP IT. ITS NO LONGER UR NAME. IT DOESNT MATTER IF U CUT UR NICHE THRU D NAME, AFTERALL, P DIDDY HAVE CHANGED NAME SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL D SAME. AND BESIDES, SAHEED DIDNT ASK LINDA OR ANY1 TO REPORT IT. EVEN LINDA CLAIMED ITS UNCONFIRMED. SO Y WOULD ANY1 IN HIS/HER RIGHTFUL SENSES SAY HE IS SEEKING ATTENTION.

As a photo journalist i went to cover the convocation ceremony of ABUAD. I saw saheed balogun @ my hotel and brought out my camera to take pictures, thinking he is a sane celebrity. This guy practically walked up to me and told me i had to ask 4 permission to take pictures of him where does dat happen in the world? U r a pubic figure!. It got me wondering if he isn't an egocentric, controlling freak when i saw this post.

Well, I think She should drop his name to avoid unnecessary argument...

Why would take pictures of a washed up celebrity. I guess he would have probably killed himself if he was brad pit!
