Hafiz Oyetoro: The Journey from Heartbreak to Happily Ever After
Veteran comic actor and beloved TV personality, Hafiz Oyetoro—better known to fans as ‘Saka’—recently opened up about a pivotal moment in his life during an engaging interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo. What could have been a heart-wrenching tale showcases Oyetoro’s triumph and resilience over the challenges he faced in his quest for love.
During the discussion, Hafiz candidly recounted how a woman he once adored rejected his marriage proposal on the grounds that he needed to own not one, but two cars. “The woman I wanted to marry insisted I had two cars first before anything. I had to end the relationship,” he shared, reflecting a moment that many can relate to in their own experiences of love and rejection. At that time, despite his growing popularity, Oyetoro humorously admitted, “I wasn’t even thinking of one car, talk less of two,” which paints a picture of his circumstances before stardom fully embraced him.
Fast forward, Hafiz Oyetoro found lasting love with Olaide, whom he married at the age of 40. The actor describes her as the love of his life, sharing that, “Marrying my wife is the best decision I ever made.” Together, they’ve built a lovely family with three children—two sons and a daughter—and have celebrated over two decades of marital bliss. In an age where celebrity relationships often face scrutiny, Oyetoro maintains a strong commitment to loyalty and family values, proudly stating, “I’ve never had an extramarital affair. I don’t have it in me to chase women around.”
In addition to sharing his personal life insights, Oyetoro also touched on the origin of his iconic bald look. With a chuckle, he recounted how it all began during his university days when he shaved his head for a stage role—and the hair never grew back! This quirky backstory only adds to his charm both on-screen and off.
Aside from his acclaimed acting career, Oyetoro serves as a lecturer at the Lagos State University of Education, embodying the principles of hard work, commitment, and integrity.
