Veteran Nollywood actor Yinka Quadri has spoken about his decades-long friendship with fellow actress Saje, which dates back to their early days in the movie industry.

According to Quadri, Saje was already close to his wife before the couple married, and she has kept that bond over the years without engaging in gossip. He said she knew about some of his relationships with other women but never passed the information on to his wife, describing her as someone who can be trusted.

The Agba Aki  of Oro Kingdom also recalled a time he considered helping Saje’s husband, Rafiu Balogun, during a difficult period in their marriage. He told Saje that Rafiu wanted to accompany him to a movie location, expecting her to object because of their misunderstanding. Instead, she welcomed the idea. Quadri said he felt obliged to inform her because of her friendship with his wife.
The actor also spoke on pay in the movie industry, insisting he would not expect to earn more than younger colleagues simply because of his experience.

Citing Funke Akindele and Lateef Adedimeji as examples, he said, “If I’m being called to a job, and Funke Akindele and Lateef Adedimeji are going to be paid the same amount, I’m an enemy of God if I’m expecting that they should pay me more than him.”

The veteran actor added that actors negotiate their fees differently. Some accept whatever they are offered, while others insist on the amount they want. He concluded that such differences are simply part of life.

Nollywood icon gives fans an early taste of the film with a new track featuring SHODAY, now streaming on YouTube.

Ahead of its big-screen release, Funke Akindele’s highly anticipated film THE FOUR: No One Fights Alone has unveiled one of its soundtracks, “WAJE,” featuring SHODAY. The track is out now on YouTube via the FAAN TV channel.

By releasing the music before the film, the team is giving audiences a glimpse of the story’s tone and emotion. The accompanying visuals show a graduation scene with students in caps and gowns, surrounded by family members in colourful traditional attire who applaud the moment. It’s a fitting image for a film that stresses community and the idea that no one has to face life’s battles alone.

Nollywood actor Kunle Remi has opened up about how becoming a father has changed his outlook on life, saying the experience has influenced the way he approaches his career and personal decisions.

The actor shared the reflection while discussing the realities of fatherhood and how becoming a parent has changed his priorities.

According to Remi, fatherhood has made him more conscious of the risks he takes, particularly while working on film projects that involve dangerous stunts.

Fatherhood Changed His Approach to Stunts

Remi explained that becoming a father has made him think differently about performing risky scenes.

The actor, who has taken on physically demanding roles during his career, said the responsibility of being a parent has made him more cautious about putting himself in situations that could threaten his safety.

He noted that his perspective has shifted because he now has someone who depends on him beyond his professional responsibilities.

‘You Start Thinking Differently’

For Remi, fatherhood has brought a greater sense of responsibility and changed the way he evaluates certain decisions.

The actor’s comments reflect the broader adjustment that can come with becoming a parent, particularly when balancing professional demands with family responsibilities.

Rather than approaching every role purely from the perspective of performance, Remi said his responsibilities as a father now form part of the considerations he makes.

Kunle Remi’s Fatherhood Journey

Remi and his wife, Tiwi, welcomed their first child in 2025. The actor has since occasionally shared glimpses of his experience as a first-time father, including humorous moments about adjusting to life with a young child.

The actor has previously spoken about the unexpected realities of fatherhood, including the challenges of trying to balance parenting responsibilities with everyday activities.

His latest reflection shows another side of that experience, focusing on how becoming a father has influenced his decisions and outlook.

Career and Family Life

Remi remains active in Nollywood, having built a career across film and television and taking on roles in productions including Aníkúlápó, Muri & Ko and A Naija Christmas.

His experience in physically demanding productions has also made the issue of safety particularly relevant as he balances his career with his responsibilities as a father.

For the actor, fatherhood appears to have introduced a new perspective on the choices he makes both on and off the screen.
