Younger Actors Are Not Rude To Me – Saka

Veteran Nollywood actor Hafiz Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has dismissed the notion that younger actors in the industry are disrespectful, stating that he has never experienced rudeness from them.

Speaking in a recent interview with African A-List, he shared his experiences working with the new generation of actors and expressed his admiration for their talent and conduct.

Saka described Femi Adebayo as a hardworking and honest young man, noting that he has been working with him for a while, from when he was still paying him N30,000 to now paying him millions for jobs. He praised the award-winning for being a nice person and a workaholic who knows what he is doing, adding that as a lawyer, he inherited his acting talent from his father, Oga Bello.

The comic actor also noted that the actors of Femi's category, including Odunlade Adekola and Ibrahim Chatta, are all very good and share a great relationship with him. He stressed that despite their stature, they remain respectful, noting that Odunlade Adekola still prostrates when he sees him.

Saka also spoke about his relationship with actress Mide Martins, whom he described as his wife traditionally, being an in-law to her through her husband, Afeez Owo. He praised her for taking care of their children and described her as very talented, adding that she and her husband are hardworking young people.

He said:
"Femi Adebayo is a very hardworking, honest young man. I've been working with him for a while, from when he was still paying me N30,000, but now he pays me millions for jobs."

"He's a very nice person, he's a workaholic. He knows what he's doing."

"You know that he's a lawyer, and as a lawyer, he inherited the acting talent from home, from his dad Oga Bello."

"If you see Femi Adebayo's father and Jide Kosoko - they are authorities and they are okay."

"You see children of Femi's category - Odunlade Adekola and Ibrahim Chatta and those that i can't mention, all of them are very good and my relationship with them is very good."

"They've never disrespected me before. As tall as Odunlade Adekola is, if he sees me, he'll prostrate, and Femi also is respectful."

"I invited Femi to our school. I thought he wasn't going to come, but he did and took pictures with my students."

"People do say that the younger actors are rude, however, they have never been rude to me."

"Mide is my wife. She is my wife traditionally. She's my brother Afeez Owo's wife in Iseyin, so I am an in-law to her. She never disrespects me. She's taking care of our children well. She's very talented. Our relationship is fantastic. She and her husband Afeez Owo - they are young people and are hardworking."
