Like most other Nigerian entertainers who survived 2016 without getting their fingers burnt in controversies, popular comic actor, Saka, has every reason to be grateful to God.
While speaking in an interview with a Punch's correspondent, popular comic actor and MTN ambassador, Hafeez Oyetoro, a.k.a Saka, has every reason to be grateful to God as he counts himself as of the Nigerian entertainers who survived 2016 without getting their fingers burnt in one way or another.
The popular film star disclosed that his biggest triumph in the past year was his ability to overcome temptation from some of his numerous female admirers.
Quote
“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.The actor almost swore that he had never had an extra-marital affair since he got married.
Quote
“Why should I? My wife is young and very pretty. Besides, it is not in my character to be chasing women around,”
he said. Asked if he has finally settled for a full-time career in film acting, Oyetoro said,Quote
‘I am always in the movies, although I still teach in Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Ijanikin, Lagos.'
Also, aware that many of his colleagues and fans wonder how he has managed to combine teaching with acting, he explained,
Quote
“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 practise what I teach and I am not exactly an extrovert. I am so busy that I don’t have a social life any longer.”
Just as the actor’s personal profile has vastly improved over the past five years, his preferences have also changed. “Nowadays I like to appear in major films. I have learnt to be selective and I don’t want to be involved in just any movie anymore,”

Saka and his family
Success and fame have come with some sacrifices. He complained that he has his ‘loss of freedom’.
Quote
“Suddenly I can no longer go anywhere without people rushing to greet and hug me. I used to go to the market to do some shopping a few years ago. I can’t do that again because I don’t want to be mobbed by admirers. I don’t feel free to mix with the crowd anymore,”
