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?

      I don't think there's anything in Nigeria that stops any1 from changing his or her name
      She should just say its not his own saheed she's bearing but just a normal one
      After all he wasn't the one that coined the name

      Haba, ask Jesus? Is Jesus your name?? Never play with that name again, why didn't use "ask goggle" than using the name of My Christ.

      In as much as her popularity soared with that name, nevertheless she still needs to drop the acquired name and make a new name for herself without unnecessary legal impediments.

      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

      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    For the records, it was Saheed Balogun dat gave Fathia d name 'Fathia' wen dey got married bcos he's a muslim hence d name Fathia Balogun. Dat was b4 she bcame knwn in Nollywood. Fathia's maiden surname is Williams(I've 4gotten her maiden name), she's frm Edo state.

    For Saheed tƠ̴̴̴̴͡ ask her tƠ̴̴̴̴͡ drop his name 'Balogun' is rubbish cos she bore him children nd hasn't even re-married. Besides, d name has bcom a brand so she can't JƱsτ̲̅ drop it like dat for d sake of her career.

    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...
