And has also detailed what led to his getting married late
The comedian made these revelations known in a sit down interview with Chude Jideonwo
Speaking on how his bald signature look started, Saka revealed it was never intentional.

Now known for his iconic bald appearance, the actor also opened up about his late marriage and how expectations once got in the way of love.

The actor Eventually got married at 40 and welcomed his first child at 41,
while adding that the only difference is that he is now paying school fees with white hair
Saka also clarified a widespread misconception about his affiliation with telecom giant Etisalat,
explaining that contrary to what many believed, he wasn’t an ambassador.
“A lot of people thought I was an ambassador to Etisalat. No, I didn’t have any formal or official arrangement.
I am just a model for Centaspray,” he explained. “Iactually wanted to go for Glo.
I was afraid, but if I breached the contract, maybe would still be in prison now.”
The actor spoke further on how people often assume he is snubbing them in public, not knowing he’s simply a private person.
“A lot of people out there believe that I just snubbed them. But I keep repeating it —
once I leave in front of the camera or I leave the stage, I feel the person I will see.”
Saka then wrapped up with a word of advice:
“While you are alive, anything you are doing, make sure that you do it to the best of your ability. I have a little reserve.”
