Veteran Nollywood actor Yinka Quadri and his wife, Sadiat Adenike

‘My Wife Fed Actresses I Was Dating Despite Knowing About Our Affairs’ – Yinka Quadri

Veteran Nollywood actor Yinka Quadri has revealed how his wife, Sadiat Adenike, responded to his relationships with female colleagues, saying she remained friendly with some of the actresses despite knowing he was dating them.

The veteran Yoruba actor made the disclosure during an interview with African A-List, where he recounted how some of the women he was romantically involved with became friends with his wife and sometimes informed her about his relationships with other actresses.

According to Quadri, the situation occasionally became complicated when some of the women approached his wife to discuss his romantic relationships, even though they were also involved with him.

He said his wife was already aware of many of the relationships and chose not to confront the women.

“I won’t mention some of the ladies in the industry. They would become friends with my wife and tell her I was dating someone,” the actor said.

He explained that some of the women acted out of jealousy, approaching his wife to report his relationships with other actresses.

“Some of them were women I was actually dating, but they went to her out of jealousy,” he added.

Quadri said his wife’s response often surprised the women, as she would tell them she already knew about the relationships and would not engage in arguments with them.

The actor also disclosed that some of the actresses occasionally spent the night at his residence when film productions ended late.

According to him, his wife continued to welcome and care for the women despite knowing about their relationships with him.

“Sometimes, when production ended late, they would sleep in my house on Kalu Street. She would feed them, and even though she knew I was dating them, she gave them everything they needed,” he said.

Quadri did not identify the actresses he referred to during the interview.

The revelation has drawn attention to the veteran actor’s personal life and the experiences he described from his years in the Nollywood film industry, where long production schedules often require cast and crew members to work late.

Quadri met his wife, Sadiat Adenike, in 1985, and they married in 1989. Their marriage has produced children and grandchildren.

The actor also reflected on the sacrifices his wife made during his career, acknowledging her support as an important part of his personal and professional journey.

Beyond his family life, Quadri recounted how he pursued his passion for acting despite his father’s reservations about the profession. He said he had initially helped with his father’s business before eventually committing himself to filmmaking.

He also recalled selling an unfinished house to finance a film project, highlighting the financial risks he took while building his career in the entertainment industry.

His latest comments have renewed public discussion about marriage, fidelity and relationships in Nollywood, although the account of his wife’s response and the relationships involved remains based on the actor’s own recollection.

‘Pick A Date’ — Tiwa Savage Accepts Teni’s Boxing Challenge

Teni Calls Out Tiwa Savage for Boxing Fight, Gets Bold Response

‘Pick A Date’ — Tiwa Savage Accepts Teni’s Boxing Challenge

Nigerian music stars Tiwa Savage and Teni have sparked excitement online after exchanging a playful boxing challenge, with Tiwa responding to Teni’s call-out by telling her to “Pick a date.”

The exchange began after Teni challenged Tiwa Savage to a boxing bout in a social media video while discussing the wealth and lifestyles of some Nigerian entertainers.

Teni jokingly called out Tiwa and proposed a multi-billion-naira purse for the potential showdown, saying she was ready to step into the ring with the award-winning singer.

At one point, Teni mentioned ₦1.5 billion while discussing the proposed fight and joking about whether the money could be enough to purchase a Bugatti. She also made another reference to ₦3 billion in a subsequent social media post, leading to differing reports about the amount attached to the challenge.

Teni further joked that she would defeat Tiwa in the ring before performing Tiwa’s hit song “My Darling” for her afterwards.

Tiwa responded to the challenge in the comments section with three words: “Pick a date.”

The brief response quickly went viral, with fans interpreting it as Tiwa accepting the proposed Teni vs Tiwa Savage boxing match.

However, there is currently no official confirmation that the bout has been organised. No fight date, venue, promoter, contract, rules or official purse has been announced by either artiste or a recognised boxing promoter.

The reported financial figures should therefore not be treated as an agreed fight purse. They originated from Teni’s playful social media challenge rather than an announced professional boxing deal.

The exchange comes at a time when celebrity boxing in Nigeria is attracting growing public attention, with entertainers and reality TV personalities increasingly participating in exhibition bouts.

Recent events have featured celebrities including Phyna, Nkechi Blessing, Carter Efe and Speed Darlington, helping to generate interest in entertainment-driven boxing events.

Phyna recently defeated actress Nkechi Blessing by knockout in a celebrity boxing event in Lagos organised under the Chaos in the Ring series.

The growing popularity of such events has created a new crossover between Nigeria’s entertainment and boxing industries, with celebrity rivalries increasingly being turned into sporting spectacles.

For now, however, the proposed Teni and Tiwa Savage boxing bout remains a social media challenge. Tiwa’s “Pick a date” response has nevertheless left fans waiting to see whether the playful exchange will eventually turn into an actual celebrity boxing event.
