On going back to school: As a matter of fact, Yinka Quadri is
going back to school to hone his skill in film production, particularly
production design at Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, Ogun
State. I have every reason to believe that it would better the lot of
the industry and it would also adequately
prepare me for my political ambition.

On leaving acting for farming: No, I have not dumped acting
for farming. Some people love misinterpreting issues. My main aim of
venturing into farming is to generate employment for the youth and
contribute my little quota to the development of agriculture.
Nevertheless, that can’t in any way affect my career as an actor and
film maker. I’m still in the industry and will never jump boat.
