Yinka Quadri is a Nigerian actor, producer, director, and leader of a theatre group called Odunfa Caucus. The <\/strong>64–<\/b>year-old who was born on September 6, 1959, has an estimated net worth of $500,000. He is famed for his roles in Kura Matete, Abeni, Shola Arikusa,<\/em> and Gangs of Lagos<\/em> (2023).<\/strong><\/p>\n Quadri is among the Nigerian actors who have grown alongside the industry. He has played on stage, in TV series, and movies. He has been persistent and exceptional all through his career and this has earned him several accolades, including a City People Movie Lifetime Achievement Award.<\/p>\n Alhaji Akanni Olayinka Quadri, known as Yinka Quadri by many people, is 64 years old. He was born into a middle-class Muslim family in Lagos Island, Lagos State, <\/a>on 6 September 1959. He was also raised in the same southwestern state, but he is a native of Oro, Kwara State in the north-central region of Nigeria. His father was a successful businessman.<\/p>\n The actor attended a Catholic primary school in Idumagbo, Lagos. Afterward, he attended Christ High School, Ebute Elefun. He then focused on his career until 2015 when he went to Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, at the age of 55. This was in a bid to hone his skill in film production.<\/p>\n The actor’s net worth is estimated at $500,000 (\u20a6230.3 million). However, there are sources that claim his worth may be between $250,000 to as high as $2 million. While BuzzNigeria is not totally claiming that the actor’s net worth of $500,000, it may actually be true considering how long and how successful he has been in the movie industry.<\/p>\n He has appeared in numerous blockbuster movies and has played both minor and major roles for over 4 decades. Of course, throughout these years, the actor has received payment for his works and this payment has contributed to his $500,000 estimated net worth. He has also earned from movie production and directing as well as endorsement deals.<\/p>\n Quadiri was working for his father before he became an actor at the age of 17 (in 1976). At the earliest time of his acting career, he played on stage and did not want his family to know about it.<\/p>\n At the time, he was not expecting to be paid for acting, but his passion kept him and he continued with the pursuit. It marked the beginning of his earliest earning, but the exact amount he earned then is unknown. However, many actors in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s were not paid as much as the career brings forth in terms of fortune as compared to the 2010s and 2020s.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, whatever he earned at the time was good enough to afford him a car in 1982. Speaking in an interview <\/a>where he said it wasn’t poverty that led him into acting, he revealed that he started using his first car in 1982, at he age of 23.<\/p>\n The energetic role interpreter admired Adeyemi Afolayan “Ade Love” – a great acting veteran and father of Gabriel Afolayan<\/a> and Kunle Afolayan<\/a>. Like Ade who had a theater group, Quadri, alongside Fatai Alabi, Apostle Biodun Majekodunmi, popularly known as Baba Kekere, and the late Mustapha Majelu also wanted to follow the same path.<\/p>\n They formed their own group called Afopina Theatre Group on July 16, 1977, after dropping out of school. Subsequently, they changed the group’s name to Isale Oro Theatre Group. It was at the time and under the leadership of the late Taiwo Olayinka that he learned the proper art of music composition, stage performance, and drama.<\/p>\n The group metamorphosed into Adetutu Theatre Organisation and Quadri became its leader. He had performed and helped in molding others. By 1986, Yinka and the group were given the opportunity to work in America for the first time. Subsequently, he was part of the actors and producers to form the theater group Odunfa Caucus. He currently serves as the president of the group.<\/p>\n Now, looking at it from the aspect of how the earliest groups may have contributed to Yinka Quadri’s wealth, it is noteworthy that theater was once the giant of actors in Nigeria. Yet, Yinka’s exact earnings remain unknown.<\/p>\n Regardless of this, a Wikipedia report about the Golden Age of the Nigerian film industry claims that content in theaters increased from the 1960s to the late 1970s. This means that the increase in production amounted to more income which theater groups, including that of Yinka Quadri, may have enjoyed.<\/p>\nSummary of Yinka Quadri\u2019s Bio<\/b><\/h3>\n
