Learn from what Happened in My Past Marriage – Saidi Balogun
Popular actor and movie producer, Saidi Balogun, is very sad and the reason is connected to piracy that has hit his business as a whole. It is said that pirates have affected several copies of his new
movie, You or I, despite recent
campaigns against piracy in the country...
Although he shied away from talking
about his failed marriage, he stated that it was not a coincidence that his last two movies centered on marriage.
He said some of the people who had seen the movies assumed that he was using them to address some issues in his last
marriage.
Saidi Balogun said:
“I hate talking about my
past marriage, but it is
true that my recent
movies speak about
marriages. I cannot say
if the movies are about
my past marriage but
people would be able
to deduce when they
watch the film . The
first movie, Modupe
Temi, shows how
gossip breaks a home
and the other, You or I,
asks which race is
suitable to have as a
wife between the white
and black. If you say I
am talking about my
past marriage, fine, all I
want is the audience to
learn from my movie.
“Possibly, the Lord is
using me as an
example to tell a story.
Although, before the
marriage all these
stories have been there
but God is the greatest
producer. He creates all
things but whatever
people want to say
they should say. All I
want is for people to
learn from my stories .
If you say I am a living
example to what I
wrote, fine, I accept but
I would ask people to
please buy an original
copy, watch and learn
regardless who they
think the story is
about.

I never thought of breaking world records – Bolt
Last week, Usain Bolt celebrated his 28th
birthday, and also the five-year anniversary of
the two world records he set at the 2009 IAAF
World Championships in Berlin. For more than
three decades, no 100m world record has stood
for such a period, and no one other than Bolt has
moved the world record forward by more than a
tenth of a second since the measurement of time
in second hundredths was introduced. News24
finds out what the world’s fastest man thinks
about his accomplishments, his legacy and what
else he has broken besides records
Your 100m record has now stood for five years.
It’s been more than three decades since the
100m World Record was unbroken for that
period. Why do you think your record from Berlin
has stood for so long?
I don’t know really. For me I’ve struggled with
injuries over the past five years so it’s been hard
to be in the condition that I was in Berlin to
really challenge that record. In London I felt
good, and I wasn’t far away but everything has
to be in your favour – your condition, the
weather, the track, and then if you execute your
race perfectly from the start through the
transition and then driving to the line – then you
have a chance.
In Berlin, you moved the World Record forward
by more than a tenth of a second, no-one has
done that since the measurement of time in
hundredths of a second was introduced more
than fifty years ago. Is that a key part of your
legacy?
Yes, I think it is definitely part of it. But gold
medals are what I’ve always counted as being
the main aspect of my legacy, winning three gold
medals again in London and defending those
100m, 200m and the 4x100m titles was the
moment. I’m looking ahead to Rio and I really
want to be in a position to win those medals
again. If I did, I think people would talk about
that for a long time.
Thinking back to that 100m final in Berlin, what
do you remember of the night?
I remember the night well, the atmosphere in the
stadium, walking out there and hearing the
people. The crowd was brilliant. I was in really
good shape. I felt good and had a confidence
that I was going to do it. The track was so quick
as well, I liked the blue track. I remember that I
started really well that night, and ran really hard
through the line. It was a great night. I was
going there to prove myself to the world again,
that I was the best in my discipline.
And the 200m final four days later?
It was a similar experience. I ran conservatively
through the heats and so had good energy for
the final, which I knew I was going to need.
Coming off the bend I knew I was running
quickly and I was just focused on pumping my
arms well and opening up my legs. I wanted to
win, but win well more than run a quick time –
but when I saw 19.19 on the clock after I
finished I was really happy.
Looking back further still, when did you first
believe you could break a World Record?
I can’t really remember, because it wasn’t
something I thought about. I was always a 200m
runner, that was my thing but my coach wanted
me to try the 100m which I did and I liked it, and
learned I was quick. But World Records were
never something I thought about.
How did things change for you after New York?
People started paying more attention to me. I
think that was the moment I really arrived in
track and field. It was an Olympic year so there
was a real spotlight on the sport to see what
kind of form athletes were in and so there was
some good interest in me. But Beijing was where
it all started.
So the Legend of Usain Bolt was really born in
Beijing. Had you ever considered that you could
return to Jamaica with three gold medals?
I dreamed about it, but never thought it would
actually happen.
Next year the World Championships are in that
stadium and I’m really looking forward to going
back to where it all began.
You were the first sprinter since Don Quarrie to
hold both 100m and 200m world records
simultaneously. How much did you know about
him growing up, did he inspire you?
Yes, everybody knew about Don, as a young kid
he was a hero of mine. He did great things to
raise the profile of Jamaica as a nation in track
and field and what he did in the 100m and 200m
was phenomenal. So to be mentioned alongside
him is a real honour for me.
Before the Olympics in London you said you
wanted to become a legend and win the gold
medals again, which you proved to the world. If
you were to win more gold medals in Rio, what
would that make you?
I think I would still be a legend. It’s hard to
imagine anyone would do that again, so I’m in a
privileged position to be going for it. That would
keep people talking about me for years to come.
Looking ahead, which of the two records is the
one you can most challenge?
I think the 200m. I would love to take that
record below the 19 second mark, as that is
something I’d be really proud of. That is a goal
of mine, and the possibility is there. I need to
stay injury free for an entire season, from pre-
season training all the way through then I know
I can do it.
Where do you feel you can take the 100m and
200m – on a perfect day on a fast track, in peak
condition, what is pushing the absolute
boundaries?
The 200m is the one where I can really push it.
I’ve thought about this a fair bit, as I said,
taking it below 19 seconds is what I think I can
do. That would be pushing it to the limit.
Records aside, what else have you broken over
the past five years?
A lot of play station controllers. Playing ‘Call of
Duty’ online is frustrating when the internet
connection isn’t good – so I’ve broken a fair few
play station controllers.
What makes you `Forever Faster’?
Everything. It’s a great slogan, it describes me
perfectly. I am forever faster, when PUMA came
up with this I thought, yes – this is me.

Top four, Manchester United’s target – Van Gaal
Louis van Gaal has set Manchester United an
initial target of a top-four finish in this season’s
Premier League.
United’s new manager is yet to deliver a
competitive victory and suffered the indignity of
a 4-0 defeat at League One MK Dons in
Tuesday’s Capital One Cup tie.
Neither that setback, nor a return of just one
Premier League point from two games, has
dented the Dutchman’s confidence and he
remains convinced he can bring a new era of
domestic and European success to Old Trafford.
Van Gaal is even refusing to rule out a title
challenge this season, but ahead of Saturday’s
trip to Burnley he has again stressed it will take
time to rebuild United’s squad and successfully
implement his methods.
He said: “Before September 1, I have given every
player a reasonable chance – it would not have
been good to come as a new manager and say ‘I
want 11 new players’. The process needs time
and we are building up a new team.
“I hope we shall succeed and that we are this
year in the top four, because the Champions
League suits a club like Manchester United.
“Then maybe the next step is to be champions
and the next step after that is to be winner of
the Champions League, but that needs time. A
lot of clubs fight for many, many years and
never succeed.
“We can still be the champions of England in my
first year. Maybe you will laugh but in my former
clubs I have started like this so for me it is not
big news.”
Van Gaal reminded the press of the positive
reports which accompanied United’s successful
pre-season tour of the United States, where
Roma, Real Madrid and Liverpool were all
defeated.
He said: “I was a king in the United States, and
now I am not a king any more? I am the same
Louis van Gaal with the same record and the
same philosophy, and I am very confident I shall
succeed here.
