OPINION: The Reason Fathia Williams Balogun Always Looks Charming

Image
  I have always heard that “the more you increase in age the more your beauty depreciates” undoubtedly, Fathia Williams Balogun, yeye-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 successfully 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 of the roles she plays for peaceful co-existence within the female acting practitioners.  A real friend is like a rare bird!

It is amazing what God can do when one dares to act on His Word. The sister got ready and stepped out in faith. All she wanted to do after praying was to find a way of getting into the place she desired to work. She did find a way in by asking after someone she knew worked there. As she stepped in, she claimed her employment and the process continued in the spirit.  She later sent in her letter of application and was called for a test. According to the would-be employer, she did not really do so well in the test, and because a man was preferred someone else was employed in her place.
