"I told them I was going to the toilet... and I ran away!" — Popular Nollywood actor Afeez Oyetoro, famously known as Saka, has opened up about the culture shock he faced when he first moved to Lagos from his quiet village upbringing. In a candid YouTube interview with Channels Television, Saka recalled how the chaotic pace of Lagos nearly broke him. He described the stress of waking up at 4 a.m. to beat traffic, the overwhelming hustle, and a moment where he felt so drained that he literally walked out of work pretending to visit the restroom — and never returned that day. "The life of Lagos was terrible for me... I ran away. Later I came back to face the challenges. To the glory of God, I think I'm okay now." Today, Saka stands as a symbol of resilience. He says the trials of adapting to Lagos life built his mental strength and shaped the perseverance that drives his successful acting career. His story reminds us all: Even the brightest stars had to adjust to the darkness before they could shine. #SakaSpeaks #LagosHustle #FromVillageToFame #NollywoodJourney #NeverGiveUp
