Saidi Balogun and Faithia Williams, former Nollywood couple, warmed hearts with their kind gesture during the actress’s father’s funeral.
In April, Faithia announced her father’s passing on Instagram, expressing her condolences and asking for peace for his departed soul. A week later, she thanked the public and noted that he had been buried according to Islamic tradition in a private ceremony with some of her colleagues.
On Sunday, Faithia held the final burial ceremony for her father. Her ex-husband, Saidi Balogun, was among the many guests in attendance. A video posted online showed Saidi Balogun at the event, engaging in a conversation with another guest.
Another video from the burial ceremony showed the actor on stage with Faithia Williams, showering her with money.
Remember how Faithia stirred things up on the internet in April by going by her old married name, Faithia Balogun?
As she apologized to her fans, the Yoruba actress startled many by referring to herself by her previous married name, Faithia Williams Balogun.
The couple was married at an Ikorodu register more than 20 years ago, and they got divorced four years later.
Their divorce was rather nasty, and among other things, Saidi asked that Faithia stop calling him Balogun. He informed the court he could not live under the same roof with his divorced wife because of irreconcilable differences.
The former couple have made peace, as on Faithia’s birthday in February, Saidi Balogun sent a sweet birthday note to her, showering her with love and prayers. Faithia had also done the same as she sweetly celebrated Saidi Balogun’s birthday.
