Popular actor and comedian, Afeez Oyetoro AKA Saka has shared a story of how he had to borrow a suit to wear on his matriculation day because he had nothing befitting to wear for the occasion.
Saka who took to his Instagram a page to tell the story, told of how he couldn’t join in the matriculation celebration because he didn’t have clothes worthy of the occasion.
“Earlier in the day I stood forlorn and downcast. The university was agog with matriculation celebration which I had no hope of attending because I had no suits or any befitting clothes for the occasion.” he wrote
He went on to explain how his roommate came to his rescue,
“Then he tapped me gently on my shoulder and woke me from the stream of sorrow. “Hello Hafiz are you not attending matriculation?” he asked. I looked up, I was speechless. I looked at myself disdainfully. Then he said “I understand don’t worry I will borrow you my suit. I hope it’s your size.”
In my mind I asked my self, “what if it’s not my size?” Then another voice inside me shouted “Hafiz! Will you follow him and collect the suit, you think you have a choice? Does size matter at this moment?” and I thought about it then I answered “it doesn’t matter.” The voice said “collect the stuff jo MUMU” Yes the voice in me was right. I was ready to wear any size. Moment later I came out well dressed and ready to mingle with my mates. I wish I could see that my roommate now to say thank you.”
Fast forward to the year 2020, Afeez Oyetoro who is currently a lecturer in the department of theatre art at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Lagos State, Nigeria and has a net worth of $750, 000 can probably afford to buy as many suits as he wants.
