Yinka Quadri starts N20million poultry business

55 year old veteran yoruba actor has started a poultry business and we hear it cost him about N20million. See excerpts from his recent interview with Encomium below:

 What’s the latest from your stable right now?
I am working on another blockbuster, The Moon (Osupa).  And just as I have promised my fans that I won’t disappoint them, Osupa is going to be better than all the movies I have produced so far.  Also, I want to use this medium to appreciate all my fans for their support from inception till date.  If not them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.  Then, another project I just embarked upon has to do with poultry.

What informed going into poultry?
I just felt I should also support my country with what I have, and I thought going into poultry farming will serve that purpose.  It has also been on my mind to use what I am and what I have to benefit mankind and support Nigeria.  So, with that project, I believe if I commit the little I am able to get from my career as a theatre practitioner into poultry, I will be able to generate employment for some or few of the unemployed youths.  Even beyond that, it’s also going to benefit a lot of people in different ways.

Why we won’t Sell War Helicopters to Nigeria –America reveals

The United States has defended its refusal to sell cobra helicopters to Nigeria, saying the Government is free to buy fighter jets from any other country.

 

“Nigeria has purchased helicopters that originated in countries other than the US and nothing in our decision prevents Nigeria from obtaining weapons and equipment from other sources,” its State Department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, said on Wednesday.

Psaki was responding to questions from journalists on the allegations by the Nigerian Ambassador to the US, Prof. Adebowale Adefuye, that Washington declined to sell lethal arms to Nigeria.

Adefuye had also told members of the Council on Foreign Relations that Washington was not doing enough to assist Nigeria in combating the Boko Haram insurgency in North-East zone of the country.
