I had to do speech therapy to undo the result of my difficult upbringing caused by my uncle - Saka

He is one of Nigeria’s most recognisable faces.

The laughter, the energy, the viral “I don port o” ad that shifted culture.

But behind the comedy is a man who has lived many lives.

In this moving conversation, Afeez Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, lets us into the parts of his story we don’t always see.

He tells us about his growing up how his uncle beats him which eventually turned him into a loner.

He speaks about teaching as a lecturer and as an actor, the fulfilment that comes from doing both.

And then he tells us about love.

About the one decision that changed his life more than fame ever could: marrying his wife.

He says, “That’s the best decision I’ve ever made.”

He reflects on how one MTN advert changed everything.

How it took him from ‘that funny man’ to a national icon.

But even that success came with a price.

This is a story about perseverance, love and resilience. It's about finding peace, not just in applause, but in family.

This is Afeez Oyetoro like you’ve never seen him before.
