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.

“Madame Saje and I started together, she knows all my secrets about all the women I’m dating in the Nollywood industry but she never for once told my wife about them

It is not how long but how well, Lateef Adedimeji gets paid more than me today”

However if his wife had even showed the littlest sign of infidelity to him, he would have been unforgiving.
The double standards is just crazy.

spiceadole:
Their women are known to be very promiscuous. The reason the use "magun" charm is very rampant there.
Not surprising cos as Baba dey cheat, his wife is cheating more.
He may not even be the biological father of some of his children .
Women don't just talk about these things
