“She Said I Must Own Two Cars Before Marriage” — Actor Saka Opens Up on Shocking Love Experience

Veteran Nigerian actor and comedian, Hafiz Oyetoro, popularly known as Saka, has stirred social media reactions after revealing a personal story about a failed relationship that left a lasting impression on him.

According to the beloved Nollywood icon, a woman he once intended to marry rejected his proposal on the grounds that he didn't own two cars.

“The woman I was supposed to marry said she couldn’t go ahead unless I had two cars. One for me and one for her. That was her condition,” Saka said during an interview.

The revelation, which came during a reflective conversation on societal values and marriage expectations, exposed the harsh realities many men face in their pursuit of love and stability.

For Saka, who was still trying to find his feet in the entertainment industry at the time, the demand felt more like a transaction than love—and it became a turning point.

“It was painful, but I moved on. Today, I thank God for where I am. Marriage is not about material things—it’s about support, understanding, and timing,” he added.

Saka, known for his iconic MTN porting advert and countless comedic roles in Nollywood and stage theatre, used the moment to advise young Nigerians, especially women, to prioritize values over vanity when choosing a life partner.

The confession has since sparked a flood of reactions online, with many Nigerians praising the actor’s humility and perseverance.

Some users empathized with his story, calling it a reflection of modern society’s obsession with material wealth, while others condemned the woman's mindset as shortsighted and transactional.

Now happily married with children, Saka’s story is not just one of rejection, but of resilience, self-worth, and divine timing.

His journey from a struggling actor to one of Nigeria’s most recognizable faces reminds us all that rejection doesn’t define destiny—sometimes, it redirects it.
