Hawawu Afonja is currently in cloud nine after her husband, popular comic actor, Sanyeri, gifted her with a new ca during the week. In the photographs that surfaced online, the lady was seen beaming with smiles in her new ride.
But only a few close friends and family would know the tears and struggles that smiling face has been through in the past when her husband was still a struggling actor.
In a recent chat with Saturday Beats, the comic relief actor said that because of what his wife has endured with him, he can never have a second wife. Sanyeri added that his wife has been through thick and thin with him and he would continue to celebrate her.
He said, “All through the period I was courting my wife, I did not have money. In fact, I was living in a room apartment with three other friends of mine – Adekola Tijani, Adebayo Tijani and Ibrahim Chatta. Afeez Eniola frequently came to visit us and he would spend the whole day with us. That is why I will forever appreciate my wife and I will never stop celebrating her.
“She was one of the ladies that saw herself as a fine girl yet she decided to stay with a man who had no money and no good looks. If a woman stays with a man, it is either because he is rich or he is fine. I didn’t possess any of those qualities yet my wife decided to stick with me. It is not as if I was very good with words or I had a name to brag about. She stayed with me with the belief that one day, I would become someone in life.
“It’s because of her that I believe that some women have foresight. She had probably seen that my future would be bright; we began dating in 2004 and got married in 2010. That is why it is impossible for me to have a second wife. How can it be possible for me to get a second wife after all my wife has been through with me? She has faced so many struggles with me, so I cannot decide to marry another wife now that things are rosy for us. It is impossible.”
Reminiscing on the first time he laid eyes on his wife, the actor said he wanted to brag about being an actor but that only pissed his wife off. He added that it took the intervention of his mother-in-law for his wife to grant him audience.
“The day we met, she came to watch a film which I produced at the National Theatre. That was my first movie production. She was in the company with her friends. When I saw her, I told myself she was a fine girl so I decided to walk up to her. I introduced myself to her and told her that I would love to date her. In order to impress her, I also told her that I was the producer of the movie she came to see but she just walked out on me after I made the statement.
“After about two months, we met again at the National Theatre and then I began the wooing process again after apologising for being corky. But shortly after, I did not get to see her for about four months. She eventually told me she had been very ill. Then I persisted with wooing her because she was playing hard to get. Back then, we both did not have phones so I had to call her mother’s phone to talk to her but whenever I called the phone from a business centre, she always told her mother to inform me that she was not home. But when her mother noticed that my calls were very frequent, she asked my wife who I was and she said I was a suitor she was not really interested in. Her mother then advised her to give me a trial. Her mother told her to pick my calls and if she was not interested in dating me, she would know how to tell me. That was how she began to pick my calls,” Sanyeri said.
That to good, that shows you really love your wife very much
Now this is what I call real love
That’s a real woman and a real man.
Real love kudos to the woman for her patients
Sir, you are blessed to have found such a lady unlike ladies of today. Sincerely, she deserves more than a car.
Nice one brother
Nice one brother
You are a real man. Kudos

Correct man, if nah some men as money done come him done go marry second Wife quick quick
Nice one all women will surly be in support of this cos all women including my mom all love cars!!
if only 10 out 10 ladies had characters of this lady, planet earth could have been a place to enjoy life. safice to say also if all men were blessed with complete wisdom of this nature. ladies would respect & trust their men entirely. you two are blessed to have each other. real love indeed!
I have met a girl who tried for me while I was in school. She could even steal her mummies money to buy me food stuffs. I never loved her for five years while in school. But I never had sex with her and she never bothered but her love still increased. The painful thing today she is with another guy who she may never love like me. And I may never find a girl who loves me like her. They thing here is that guys are they cause why girls rather. Choose someone with money over a broke ass. We are guilty. May God deliver us
That’s an unfair thing to say bro. It’s absolutely wrong for you to generalise.
U may never find a girl who will love u like she does…but she will leaarn to love her new found love and love him more than she loved you….cry you own cry…
Passing by though#
No hard feelings** U0001f609

God bless ur union
This 1 na true love. He no want her waist he no be iyanya oo lol
hahahaahaha Gifty biney.
Gifty Biney. You are wrong do you know that her fiance called me and asked me what I did to her that makes her cry always and call my name. And I had to tell him to live with it. Am not to blame. For her love for me. And mind you, you can never enrace true love. If I have my way I will take her back. But I don’t want to destroy any bodies marriage which is to take place anytime from now. That is why am angry for being stupid. I believe anything I have today belongs to her
the matter pain lilian chi ooo. hahahaha #juspassinshaoo
Orrrrr he will turn his back on her as soon as he get wealth and look for fine ashawo with nice ass and tits….just sayin. Not all men will be correct like this 1

Glad for U both
Wonderful couple. Wonderful woman. Unlike Yeye girls for today wey be say they no fit date broke man
That’s what Love is about. #sacrifice
I lot of women do this. Men if you find a woman like this then she is a gift from God, love her, cherish her and take care of her. I did the same thing for my husband and today he does his very best for me. I don’t regret at all.
Adediji Oluwatofunmi,u are so funnyU0001f602U0001f602
Im saying ‘or’ because its another option which men usually take over this option otherwise this story would not even be news worthy
Not girls are same
I think the guy maybe referring to the majorityU0001f603
What a sad story sir take heart
Yes my sister. But everybody is not the same don’t take what others did to us and take it to an innocent one. We still have good man ,responsible, caring lovely, Trustful man is it stand now.
U fit date woman without sex? So why ladies go date man without money?
Suffering wif a broke guy doesn’t mean he wil stick wif u wen tinx get beta.ive been in such position nd as soon as tinx got beta fr him,he forgot evritin…just pray fr God’s. Direction!

Value what you have, Bro.
Like the old saying, any woman that stick with a man when he has nothing, she deserve everything.
What u have in mind is what will happen to you. Think positive in life.
another woman dat loves u, when u have Notin, she deserve u when u have sometin
IMRAHATUN SOLIHAH! BLESS HER YA ALLAH!
I know alot of yoruba men that married igbo ladies, I don’t think they will keep coming if it’s true.
Princess Ehimen Ama i didnt say that there arent any correct men out there. Im saying if u stand by a broke man and be his biggest supporter its not a guarentee that he will love u and respect u when he has money. Its just not a guarantee end of story
Yoruba girls are dirty… I would not take one for free.
My sister if u don’t trust ourselves how can u trust others. If our mothers think the way u think they can’t be in that good position today.
is sex a fast growing business to u ladies?
Sometimes u suffer with them through thick and thin and when the make it out of poverty the turn around and choose somebody else woman and marry her and laugh at u
Not all men are are the same tho this world is full of hate but God is love and the same goes to our women as well
Mary Itohan Obasuyi Smile
He is a different man… He remembered she stuck to him… Not all men remembers dat, so I don’t blame women who don’t hustle with their guys… A lot of women got disappointed after their men made it
Oma ‘Zurich how many have u hustled with?
Patience and perseverance pays. I ll not leave my hubby cos he is not rich today cos tomao is pregnant
You are d only one who have spoken well here… Guys are most times d cause cos we women, when we love, we do dat with everything in us..
And if also, all men behave like dis, women will be willing to go any length too, itz a two sided ish
That its said for richer are for poor
Don Malcom Chinaemerem and u won’t mind one for a one night standU0001f604U0001f600U0001f600 yeye Dey smell.
@ Don Malcom Chinaemerem, you gat no chill
It might be brand new if not used at all. Brand new doesn’t mean new model or current version.
@ Mary Itohan Obasuyi,you sabi am… Correct
when I travel outside I had a girl who help me when life was difficult for me she was a student but before she goes to school she comes to my place to give me money for food for the whole day she buys drug for me when am sick clothes in fact she tried for me before I start making money now but I couldn’t marry her because she was a Muslim and the family wants me to turn to a Muslim before I will marry her I refused but now she is married but I still gives her money when ever she ask me in fact I always help her when she have financial problem
Louise Jacobs how many have u hustled with to be juxtaposing?
Who would leave a classic intelligent igbo women and go for trash?.
HOW MANY LADIES CUD BE LIKE HER? IT PAYS TO BE VERY PATHENT.
Princess Ehimen Ama what are u talking about trust ourselves. Are u saying all people are correct? Its called denial
If you are not remarrying because you wish to devote all your attention on her it is nice and I love that. But not because to compensate her for her support during your hardship, that is another thing altogether
Hardesinah Habdulwaheed Holuwasegun i dont hustle men im a boss (i inspire) im not a sheephurder does that answer your foolish question my friend? U use expensive words to ask something stupid like that? Lmao
Adediji Oluwatofunmi, you sure?
Why Na? Of course. We are all not the same. When you love a lady, you will respect her and you won’t force sex on her
@ Hardesinah Habdulwaheed Holuwasegun, I don’t need to blow a trumpet on that…. Facts of life knows it al
Hardesinah Habdulwaheed Holuwasegun i cant argue with somebody who said: ‘Can’t even recite the state and capital complete’. That says it all doest it lol.
That’s wat real men do to appreciate their women for not letting them down
My sis ,all men are not correct including women , but u have to think positive in life so that positive things will locate you. If we all think this way u think I don’t think we can get husband, but am married with 4kids I suffer with my husband and Today GOD is so love am happy to have he as my husband. I know ur correct but pray for yours, don’t think what happened to others will happen to you, because u are so special to GOD.
Hahaha…. Well… We pray for such women… And likewise women pray for such men…
Most men dump the woman who started with them when they get to stardom
And likewise most women don’t want to start from scratch….
Two way things…
So why r u telling me this because i tell the other side of it? Which way do i think? I think it can happen that a man will be correct and it can happen that he will not. It seems to me you just want to preach anything anyhow. Everybody suffers ftom something it just depends on how much u can take
Hmm, ayaf heard… Na so dem dey talk…till you date dem
Oma Zurich you lie, cause is vice-versa, men record most heart break, sorry i have to say this.
Huh, men keh??… Pls dnt put a debate to that cos you won’t win
Thanks my sis you’re perfect woman please end d chat I can waist my Mb.
correct man thats why you are my man
Nd who will leave a hardworking down to earth Yoruba man nd go for a arrogant blood sucking ritualist Igbo man Don Malcom Chinaemerem cleanton
Pino Ituah so when the version was produced in 2005 it wasn’t brand new? And for your information brand new of the 2005 model are still been manufactured from Toyota factory.
Oma ‘Zurich that is why u don’t need to castigate all men as well, it cuts across border.as we have devoted and sincere ladies out there likewise there still lots of devoted men out there too
Hmmm, it is worse with men
God will bless you for this mind that you have.
If you are talking about hardworking, itz Yoruba women dat are more hardworking dan dia men… No beef intended
Wow, congratulations god bless u sir more money to ur bank acc
this is yorubu and igbos funny fight, let me keep watching as hausa man and be a refree
lol….if twas another guy he cudda left her so please its jus a risk she took that paid off. sticking with a nobody then becomes somebody only to treat you like invisibody coz they have found hotbody naah.
God bless u sir
