I Dont Act Romantic Roles Because Of My Tribal Marks – Sanyeri

Nigerian actor, Olaniyi Mikail Afonja, popularly known as Sanyeri, In a
chat with Saturday Beats, reveals why he doesn’t act romantic roles.

He said:

“I started appreciating my tribal marks when I became an actor.

I
know that due to my tribal marks, I may not be able to take up some
roles, especially lover boy and romantic roles, much less compete with
other good-looking actors in the industry.But you know God works in
mysterious ways.

My tribal marks have brought many comic roles my way and that has automatically given me an edge as an actor.

And
that is why you won’t see me acting romantic roles.Even though as a
child, people used to make a jest of me and I used to feel bad
especially as I’m the only one with tribal marks among my siblings, I
was never angry with my parents for giving me these tribal marks.

Right now, no one can mock me again because I’m now more comfortable with them and I have made a fortune with them.”
