Monday, July 7, 2025 - Veteran Nigerian actor and comedian, Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has shared deeply personal stories about his life, marriage, and journey to fame during a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo.
Speaking on how his bald signature look started, Saka
revealed it was never intentional.
“When I got
to the university, we had a play and the director said that the character must
have a bald head. So they scraped my head. After the production, the hair
refused to grow again.”
Now known for his iconic bald appearance, the actor also
opened up about his late marriage and how expectations once got in the way of
love.
“The one
that I was actually supposed to marry was demanding that I must have two cars,”
he said, implying that financial expectations made the relationship impossible
to continue.
Saka eventually got married at the age of 40 and had his
first child just before he turned 41.
“The only
difference now is that I am still paying school fees with grey hair,” he joked.
He also clarified a widespread misconception about his
affiliation with telecom giant Etisalat, explaining that contrary to what many
believed, he wasn’t an ambassador.
“A lot of
people thought I was an ambassador to Etisalat. No, I didn't have any formal or
official arrangement. I am just a model for Centaspray,” he explained. “I
actually wanted to go for Glo. I was afraid, but if I breached the contract,
maybe I would still be in prison now.”
The actor spoke further on how people often assume he is
snubbing them in public, not knowing he’s simply a private person.
“A lot of
people out there believe that I just snubbed them. But I keep repeating it —
once I leave in front of the camera or I leave the stage, I feel the person I
will see.”
He wrapped up with a word of advice:
“While you
are alive, anything you are doing, make sure that you do it to the best of your
ability. I have a little reserve.”
Saka remains one of Nigeria’s most beloved comic actors,
known for his humorous roles and unforgettable catchphrases.
