Although she became an actress by chance,Fathia Balogun is today one of the most versatile artistes in Nollywood.Bold, beautiful and confident,the fair-complexioned actress hails from Delta State but was born and raised in Lagos.Her full name is Fathia Adunni Korede Balogun. She attended Olufunmilayo Nursery and Primary School, Maryland Primary School,Maryland Comprehensive High School,after which she studied at Kwara State Polytechnic.She is the first child of the family,a strong Catholic.Her father is an ex-soldier andher mother is a petty trader.She is in her thirties.Married to Yoruba movie whizkid Saidi Balogun though currently seperated.
Fathia was introduced into acting by her uncle Alhaji Fatai Teniola who asked her to stand in for an actress that failed to show up.It all started in the early 1990s,the other actor who encouraged her was Kokonsari.Both of them encouraged her to go into acting in 1991.She just came home from school (Polytechnic) on a particular day and her uncle,a producer was shooting a movie and he wanted somebody to play the role of a secretary.A lady was given that role but she was not around at that time but they had to continue the shooting.So,he urged her to play the role but she said she was not interested because in those days they use to think that acting was just for illiterates.Her uncle insisted that she should take that part role and go.Then Kokonsari and Dele Odule briefed her on the role and that was how it all started.
Aside acting,she sing too but don’t sing for money and can dance.She love buying and selling a lot,so has a mini-super market and a video club.

why seperated with your husband he is the most talented man any woman will like to have, that's just a graet mistake she ever made, but am just hoping that you guys get back together soon if not for nothing but cause of the kids. ololade jokotoye (mrs). bronx new york.

This is a woman I have come to admire of recent, she is not only beautiful but I admire her intelligence and courage. Not trying to belittle Saheed or undermined him, he is far below this lady in term of maturity and even acting prowess. Saheed should go fully into movie directing or any other works in the industry aside acting. He often spoilt many good story lines with his commical approach on every issues in plays he acted on. Not a good actor at ll.
Have read and listen to all interview granted by the two, but Saheed sound immature whilst the lady is up there. The mistake has been made at inception by Saheed in striving towards something above him.
Fathia, please endeavour to be humble and focus on you carrier. Also, go back to the classroom for more knowledge aside acting or movie directing, try it and you would see the sky would not be able to limit you.

why wont a man beat a woman wen she has no dignity at all?who can sleep with anybody.she is dating coperate pictures and fighting every other lady that does business with him.she dated funsho adeolu,aremu afolayan,nurtw boss,olorunwa,rotimi ajanaku and many more.she will swear with her kids that she is not even when she is seen in hotels with these men.she is nothing but a slut.no one said wat saheed did is good but she is a woman and a good woman keeps her home.how does she want her kids to feel in future when they read of their mum`s sexcapades?i no both of them personally and i think saidi is a faithful guy to a large extend but started seeing other girls wen its obvious she couldn`t control her sexual urge.
