In an interview with punch when asked Can you recall how you met you wife, Hawawu Omolara Afonja?
Sanyeri: I met her in 2004 when I want to screen my movie, Okan Emi, at the National Theatre in Iganmu, Lagos. She came there to have a good time. I sighted her and her friend from afar. I walked up to her friend and told her I liked her friend but she said I should tell her myself.
So I went to her and told her I would want us to get closer but she replied that was it because I just shot a movie that made me think I could ask her out. Afterwards, she walked away.
After that day, I saw her about a month later and I requested for her number. Even then, it took me a while to convince her to date me.

I used to work more behind the scenes then taking care of set lighting and other technical aspects of production.
