Olaniyi Afonja a.k.a Sanyeri is a popular comic actor in the yoruba movie sector of Nollywood. He is known for the humorous roles he plays in movies. Speaking in an interview with Punch, he said his wife doesn’t have issues with his female fans, adding that she has never fought them.
Hear him:”My wife has never fought any of my fans, whether male or female. Even when we travel abroad and some fans ask me to sign autographs on some parts of their bodies, she would encourage me to do so. Some of them would even hug and kiss me in her presence but she doesn’t mind. Even when street urchins accost me, she encourages me to give them money”.
On how he met his wife, the dark skinned actor said he met her at a movie premiere. According to him:”I met her in 2004 when I want to screen my movie, Okan Emi, at the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos. She came there to have a good time. I sighted her and her friend from afar. I walked up to her friend and told her I liked her friend but she said I should tell her myself. So I went to her and told her I would want us to get closer but she replied that was it because I just shot a movie that made me think I could ask her out. Afterwards, she walked away. After that day, I saw her about a month later and I requested for her number. Even then, it took me a while to convince her to date me”.
