Actor Saka Reveals How Self-Doubt and Financial Challenges Delayed His Marriage

Saka who is also known as Afeez Oyetoro is a well-known Nigerian actor, has disclosed the reason behind the delay in his marriage.

The actor revealed this in a recent interview with Chude Jideowon, a media personality.

The actor, who also teaches theater arts at Lagos State University of Education, talked about his profession and personal life, stating that he married at the age of forty.

Saka noted, “I’m now paying school fees with grey hair.

“I don’t have confidence. I’m a very reserved person. I got married late because of two things, which is, myself and my profession. As at then, there was no money in theatre arts and nobody recognised artistes. We were just doing it for passion. And the worst part of it then is that we were only taught acting and not how to make money from theatre.

“I had nothing, not even a car when I finished. Obviously, when you call a girl, they would look at you like there was no future for you. In fact, a lady told me I’m wasting my life, and advised me to leave theatre and for something relevant.

“The woman I was supposed to marry, said I must have two cars before I can marry her. Then something told me that this is not my wife”.

Saka eventually found his wife, Olaide Oyetoro and married her in 2003. They are blessed with three children.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
