Nollywood actor Sanyeri, whose real name is Olaniyi Mukaila Afonja, was left speechless when his colleagues threw him a surprise birthday party. The comic actor, who recently celebrated a day older, was overwhelmed with love and appreciation from his colleagues, who gathered to mark the special occasion.
The surprise party was attended by notable figures in the industry, including Tijani, Adebayo, Eniola Ajao, Toyosi Adesanya, and Femi Branch, among others. Sharing clips from the event, Sanyeri expressed his gratitude to his colleagues for their thoughtfulness. “I’m so grateful for the surprise celebration and your thoughtful words,” he said. “The love I am feeling from my family and friends on my birthday is overwhelming in the best way.”
Sanyeri’s birthday celebrations have always been a special affair. Last year, he reunited with his children in the United States, where he had a birthday bash with friends. The actor has also been known to shower praise on his wife, whom he described as one of Africa’s most cherished women. In a heartfelt post, he expressed his love for her, stating that she is his life’s true meaning.
However, it’s worth noting that Sanyeri’s marriage to Omolara Olaiya hit the rocks in 2022, when she announced their divorce on Instagram. Despite being separated for nine years, the couple maintained a cordial relationship for the sake of their children.
Meanwhile, Sanyeri’s sons have been making waves online with their impressive accents. In a video shared by their father, the young boys expressed their appreciation to fans for their support. The actor’s family life has been a subject of interest among fans, who have been following his journey with keen interest.
