Afeez Oyetoro, better known as Saka, has made known the challenge he faced in finding a woman to marry until he turned 40.
The father of three now 61 years old in an interview with media personality Chude Jideowon, said lack of money which used to a problem in the Nollywood industry those days, and poverty of confidence conspired against him in his search for wife.
“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,” he narrated.
He also said, “I’m now paying school fees with grey hair.”
