Popular Nollywood comic actor, Saka (Afeez Oyetoro) has made a shocking revelation.
He said: “I did not have confidence. It took me a long time to start toasting. I got married late because of two major things. My profession and myself.”
“In my profession, which is theatre, there was no money to be made. Then, nobody recognises artistes. We were doing it out of passion. And the worst part of it is that they did not teach us how to make money from theatre. We were just acting.”
“When I finished, I had no car, nothing. Obviously, when you call a girl, they would look at you like there was no future for you. In fact, one of them told me one day that ‘Afeez you are wasting your life. Leave this theatre and go and do something relevant with your life’.”
“The one I was actually supposed to marry was demanding that I have two cars before she married me. Then something told me, Afeez, this is not your wife. So, I ran away. It was not until I got to college that I got married.”
Saka married his wife, Olaide Oyetoro in 2003. The couple has three children.
