In a recent interview with City People, veteran Yoruba actress Fausat Balogun, also known as Madam Saje, revealed why many marriages in Nollywood, particularly in the Yoruba film genre, are collapsing like a Domino.
Madam Saje is the most well-known veteran Yoruba actress. She began acting at the age of ten under the supervision of her boss, Rafiu Balogun, whom she eventually married at the age of eighteen and with whom she had two amazing children.

“Nobody has ever asked me out, maybe I wasn’t intended to have many toasters,” she stated at City People Corporate Office in Gbagada last week when questioned about fans’ admiration and whether they ask her out like they approach many actresses after watching them on TV.
But, to be honest, there is no way you can work in that industry without being harassed, but it all depends on you as a person.
Someone like me is now a huge fish in that industry, and you have no choice but to face your career and your children’s well-being.
I pray for individuals in the industry who are having difficulties in their marriages today; may God Almighty provide a solution for them.
She expressed her thoughts on why so many Nollywood marriages end in divorce virtually every time when questioned about her thoughts on why so many Nollywood marriages end in divorce. “It’s a poor idea to follow in your coworkers’ footsteps when it comes to defining your own life.”
I would not have gotten to where I am today if someone like me had tried that in the past, and I constantly tell them that we all came to this planet for various reasons.
Taiwo’s fate is not the same as Kehinde’s. If you’re furious with me the way I am, you’re really angry with God because that’s how he made me.
I had to go through a lot to get to where I am now. It’s not like I have that much money, but I’m happy with what I have.
Many others have traveled overseas before me. I was invited multiple times by a woman named Iya Isila in London, but I didn’t force myself until it was like a miracle.
There is no such thing as a latecomer in the world of success. I’ve traveled to London, America, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and other locations at my leisure.
Most of them want to fit in, which is one of the reasons so many marriages in the industry are failing. May God alter their hearts for the better so that they can have a solid marriage.
My coworker has completed this, and I must complete it on my own at all costs; do you know where he/she obtained the funds? As a result, they get involved in activities they aren’t supposed to be doing, causing a union crisis.”
We also inquired about the young actresses who drive exotic automobiles valued N15 million and upwards… “Where would I find money to buy anything like that?”
Though, to be honest, I’ve always disliked large cars since I don’t know where I’d get the money to fix or maintain them. However, this is not the situation with our female colleagues in the industry.
My advise to married women in the industry, particularly those whose husbands are also actors, is to stay wedded to their husbands because that is how it was meant to be, especially when you have children for each other.
The majority of married women stay in their marriages because of their children, not because of their husbands, who are all the same.
It’s as simple as prepping your children for sorrow because another wife will mistreat them if you leave them.
As a parent, I can’t leave my children alone for even a second. My spouse had two wives, and I raised my children with my second wife.
This is because life is too short to waste time cultivating hatred.
Other men will always claim to like you more while they only want to sleep with you and run away, which is why it pays to make your marriage tight.
She explained, “I’ll be 60 in two years and I’ve been married since I was 18 years old.” These are some of the factors that have kept her marriage strong.
