Nollywood stars and the crazy nicknames they are called

21. Olaniyi Afonja (Sanyeri)

Olaniyi Afonja had remained in Oyo State, where he had been an apprentice under his boss and head of a theatre group. He however found his way to Lagos and began going to movie locations where he found himself mini roles. He was known as Sanyeri and the name stuck with him without relevance until he made his big break few years back. The moniker has since become his second name.
