He started his life without luxury and led a life in a ghetto before he left his village when he was nine to stay with his uncle in Iseyin, a town in Oyo state. With his cleric uncle, the entertainer was raised in a middle-class environment.<\/p>\n<p>Saka&#8217;s family background has been kept out of the spotlight but he lost his mother at the age of 92 in 2019. The actor&#8217;s father was a farmer who died at 98. Afeez was born with lighter skin than many other people around him and the community he grew up in. This led to his variously being called albino (even though he&#8217;s not), yellow pawpaw, and Oyinbo Pepper among others.<\/p>\n<p>Also, he was born with diastema (spaced-out teeth) and people gave him nicknames. Rather than feeling annoyed by the names that were given to him because of his complexion and diastema, Saka shoved it. He also recorded that his complexion has always been an <a href=\"https:\/\/tribuneonlineng.com\/i-used-to-get-embarrassed-because-of-my-skin-actor-afeez-oyetoro\/\">advantage<\/a> and also contributed to bringing good things his way.<\/p>\n<h2><b>He Studied Theater Arts at Obafemi Awolowo University<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As a young boy, the comic actor attended Baptist Day Primary School as well as Koso Grammar School in Iseyin. While in secondary school, he played badminton and was good at it. In fact, he was encouraged by his parents to follow his sporting passion.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, he later picked an interest in drama. This prompted him to attend the University of Ile Ife which is currently known as Obafemi Awolowo University in Osun State.<\/p>\n<p>At the prestigious University, he obtained a Bachelor&#8217;s in Dramatic Arts. Afeez then went to the Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan where he obtained a Master&#8217;s degree.<\/p>\n<p>The actor also obtained a Doctorate degree from that same institution.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CHxPHYdpEXW\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

When Saka was featured in the <em>I Don Port<\/em> commercial for MTN, the comic actor was accused of jumping from being an ambassador of a competitive brand, Etisalat (now 9mobile).<\/p>\n<p>While the news continued to rally around, the actor came out to make it clear that he was never a brand ambassador of Etisalat. Instead, he worked for Centerspread as a model and the company&#8217;s client was Etisalat.

While Gebnga played a character named Sule, Afeez played a character named Saka. <em>House Apart<\/em> was aired in Nigeria and Ghana and proved to be a smash hit. All this solidified Afeez&#8217;s new and long-lasting identity as Saka.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is Afeez Retired?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Afeez Oyetola has not retired from acting and does not have the intention to retire from the career. According to the Taxi Driver actor, there is no <a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/no-retirement-age-in-entertainment-saka\/\">retirement<\/a> age for an entertainer. However, he will retire from his lecturing job in due time.<\/p>\n<p>Both careers have contributed to his fame in different ways. His being a lecturer has helped him in the practicality of theater arts.
