Nollywood actress Faithia Williams has penned an appreciation note to the public over the love and support she received on her son’s graduation.
Kemi Filani reported earlier this week that Faithia had announced that her son, Khalid Balogun, had graduated from the University of Lagos with a first-class degree. Williams, who was short on words, stated that she was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude at her son’s incredible achievement.
Joining her, Saidi Balogun questioned what joy was greater than this as he noted how his son had made him very proud. Praying for him, Saidi, who lost one of his daughters last year, expressed gratitude to his Maker for bringing joy back into his heart.
Now, taking to her Instagram page, Faithia penned an appreciation post as she stated that she finds herself deeply reflecting on the overwhelming love and support she received for her son’s graduation. She added that the kind words, prayers, thoughtful gifts, and heartfelt presence turned the special moment into a memory they will treasure forever.
Faithia appreciated her colleagues, family, friends, and fans for making her son’s day more meaningful. She said their love reminds her how blessed they are to have such an incredible community around them.
“In the whirlwind of emotions, I find myself deeply reflecting on the overwhelming love and support we received for my son’s @khalidgram__ convocation. Your kind words, prayers, thoughtful gifts, and heartfelt presence turned this special moment into a memory we will treasure forever.
To my dear colleagues, friends, family, and fans, thank you for making it all so meaningful. Your love reminds me how blessed we are to have such an incredible community around us.
May we all continue to have reasons to celebrate and reap the rewards of our hard work, Insha Allah.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart”.
Faithia shares two kids, Khalid and Aliyah with ex-husband, Saidi Balogun. The two got married in 2000 at Ikorodu registry and divorced fourteen years later. Their divorce was quite messy, and Saidi, who told the court that he could not live under the same roof with his estranged wife due to irreconcilable differences, also demanded, among other requests, that Faithia drop his name, Balogun.
The former couple finally made peace, last year as for the first time in years, Saidi sent a sweet birthday note to Faithia, showering her with love and prayers. Faithia had also done the same as she sweetly celebrated Saidi Balogun’s birthday.
In April, Faithia fueled reconciliation rumors with him as she referred to herself by her former married name, Faithia Balogun. The Yoruba actress shocked many when she addressed herself with her former marital title, Faithia Williams Balogun.
Since then, the former couple have been supporting each other during their times of grieve. When Saidi lost his first daughter in October, Faithia had taken a break from social media to mourn. When she returned, she made a post gushing over the deceased and appreciated the public for their support.
When Faithia also buried her father in July, Saidi showed his support and attended the burial ceremony where he was captured raining money on her.
