Fathia Balogun Is One Of My Favourite Screen Wives – Femi Branch Posted: 11 May 2016 07:00 AM PDT Popular Yoruba actor, Femi Branch is currently celebrating 25 years of being in the Nollywood business and the star actor has taken to social media to dish out some of the great moments of his career so far. In a touching message posted on Instagram, Branch referred to fellow Yoruba movie star, Fathia Balogun as one of his favourite screen wives. According to him, Faithia is one actress he’s always looking forward to working with all the time. Read his message: “LET ME TALK ABOUT” – (FAITHIA BALOGUN) – Faithia or ‘Igwa’ as she is also called was the first actress to play my wife in a Yoruba movie, that was in the movie ELEBUTE by Oga Bello. We connected instantly on the Ikorodu set and I believe I got her into trouble with her former husband Saidi then when I said I wanted to try the famous Ikorodu barbecued fish and she, Funso Adeolu and the late Diallogue Director, Alhaji Lateef I think, offered to take me to one of the popular fish spots in town. I think Saidi somehow found out she had left set with some men and came after her. It was not funny I swear but we became friends since then. Despite the obvious distraction from her domestic life then, she displayed such professionalism that I found myself wondering how she pulled dat off (she had enough practice I guess) We have done countless jobs since then and bn married on more occasions that I can recall. I dare say@faithiawilliamsbalogun is one of my favorite screen wives and no doubt someone I look forward to working with all the time. All hail Igwaa!!! #FemiBranch25YearsActing
