Veteran actor and beloved comedian, Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has taken a reflective look back at his past as he opened up about a surprising demand made by a woman he was once supposed to marry.
Saka shared this deeply personal story while being featured in an exclusive interview with renowned media personality Chude Jideonwo. During the interview, he spoke candidly about his struggles and experiences before he finally settled down.
Recounting his bachelor days, Saka revealed that there was a particular lady he was serious about and had approached with his intention to settle down and start a family together. However, to his surprise and disappointment, the woman placed an unusual and unexpected condition before she would consider marrying him.
According to him, the woman insisted that he must own two cars before she would agree to become his wife. Saka explained that at the time, he could not meet such a demand due to his humble beginnings and financial challenges. The condition ultimately ended the relationship and forced him to reconsider his choices regarding love and partnership.[/p>
He further cleared the air regarding a long-standing public misconception about his association with Etisalat. Contrary to popular belief, Saka clarified that he was never an official brand ambassador for the telecommunications company. He explained that his involvement with their advertising campaigns was simply as a model and not as a formally contracted ambassador, as many had assumed.
Saka said …
“The one that I was supposed to marry was demanding that I must have two cars. 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…”
This revelation has sparked various reactions from social media users, who found the lady's demand both amusing and unreasonable. Many commended Saka for his resilience and integrity, highlighting that his story reflects the unnecessary material conditions some people place on love and marriage.
