Popular comic actor Hafeez Oyetoro a.k.a Saka is a talented actor whose delivery makes you stay glued to your TV screens. With him around you, it is difficult to get bored because he reels jokes upon jokes without batting an eye lid. One thing most people hardly know about him is that he spent four years of his degree programme in the Dramatic Arts Department of University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) undergoing speech therapy. In a recent interview with Punch, he spoke on how women seduced him in 2016 and why he cannot have extramarital affairs.
Hear him:”If you are a celebrity, women will always come to you. Most of the time, their intention is to seduce you. Well, in 2016, some of them tried to seduce me and to make me do certain things that I had sworn never to do when I got married. But, I thank God that I was able to resist them. It was not by my power; God gave me the grace to resist them,” he said.
When asked if he has ever had extramarital affairs, he said: “Why should I? My wife is young and very pretty. Besides, it is not in my character to be chasing women around,” he said.
On combining his full time career as a lecturer with acting, he said most filmmakers consider his schedule as a lecturer before featuring him in their movies.
“I am always in the movies, although I still teach in Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos. Most producers consider my position as a lecturer in a tertiary institution before giving me a role to play in a movie. Then they work round my schedule. The fact that I teach theatre arts, which involves a lot of practical work, also gives me an advantage. I practice what I teach and I am not exactly an extrovert. I am so busy that I don’t have a social life any longer.”
