It was also Fathia Williams Balogun’s birthday last Sunday and as always friends, colleagues and family members stepped on their various social media handles to rejoice with the popular Yoruba actress as she clocked 50 years too.

Incidentally, the father of Fathia’s children, Saidi Balogun, was also a year older on February 5th. Like Fathia, the social media was awash with congratulatory message for Saidi, who undoubtedly is one of the most celebrated actor and producer in the Yoruba movie circle.
