Fathia Williams Balogun: The Oju-Oge

I have always heard that “the more you increase in age the more your beauty depreciates” undoubtedly, Fathia Williams Balogun, oju-oge as most fans do call her, has reversed the case!

“Fathia, the more you increase in age the more your beauty increases! This happens because you keep to the inner beauty than the surface. However, it is not that I have not seen beautiful ladies before. In fact, I have princesses as friends but the inner beauty in you has made you more beautiful than they are!”

What is inner beauty! In my opinion, it could be explained as a lady whose aim is to grow and wish her colleagues in her profession the same. Fathia has gradually attained the level of Mama Rainbow, Madam Shaje, Peju Ogunmola and the likes in film making in Nigeria because the roles she plays for peaceful co-existence within the female acting practitioners.

A real friend is like a rare bird! A beautiful object like that never loses its value. Some may not agree with me that Fathia is specially created as they will say no one is rare.

I beg to differ in your opinion that no one is “rare”. The word rare is an adjective word which a writer or speaker uses to qualify someone whose influence is uncommon!

However, it is true that most successful people in entrepreneurship, politics, computer networks and other professional classes attained that level of successfulness through special and personal struggling but some have attained the level of a rarity because they are specially endowed by God, not through struggle!

Why is that up to the moment, we have not seen a leader like Nelson Mandela in Africa despite politically sagacious some politicians are in Nigeria!
