<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a> A Malaysian-Chinese, Mrs Odediran, an optometrist, is married to a retired Nigerian United Nations Children’s Fund United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) staff member.   Read  her interesting interview with Tribune: Can  you let us into your background? I’m  a Chinese  but grew up in Malaysia.  I’m from a non-Christian home but there was a small population of Christians   there. Most were   Buddhists, so there were  many temples where idols were worshipped. Buddhism is an ancient religion while Christianity was  regarded as Western religion. I lost my mother as a teenager, my father therefore took another wife. My father is a businessman  and   also runs  a big farm, so we were quite comfortable. He  spent his money mainly on educating us. When did you get married? That was  January 16,  1988. How did you meet your spouse? I became a Christian when I went to  Australia   in 1981 for my A’Level studies.  In 1982,  I was in Brisbane, where I studied Optometry  while he studied  Public Health Engineering. We both belonged to Overseas Christian Fellowship (OCF) and  he was  the president. The fellowship held its convention at the time we were rounding  off our courses. We   were in the dining room and I wasn’t feeling fine, I therefore asked him for a pain reliever which he gave me. That was the first time we  held a close gaze. I felt a  strange feeling within me and his  thought didn’t leave me.  It was same with   him. He later  told me his mind but what   got him confused was the fact that  he was coming back to Nigeria  a week after. Since I have learnt to hear from God, I prayed and He gave me Psalm 112 as a confirmation and then I knew there was no going back. My profession was then  in great demand in  Brisbane. I therefore  got employed  immediately after graduating. We thus  got in touch  through mails and phone calls. Didn’t you entertain any fear marrying someone outside your country and continent? God gave me   a word in Psalms 45 and   I held on to  this.  It was a lot of stress because I didn’t have the support  of  my family. My maternal grandmother on her part was concerned about the distance. The Bible was what gave me comfort. How did your family   receive the news? I wrote my dad and asked, ‘Is it okay or alright if I marry a non-Chinese and non-   white?’  I intentionally didn’t say African or Nigerian. He replied ‘Please consider very well.’  He later  sent my aunties to me in Brisbane to discourage me. My father was very authoritative. He later came, asked me to resign and   come back to our town,   Penang in Malaysia.  Back home, my   family members and relatives kept on  trying to persuade me to let go of  the relationship. They   made jest of   African   black skin and   said their lips were thick and they were hungry.   They referred to my white skin as milk and my husband as coffee. They also taunted me that no children of mine would look like me. What effect did this have on your relationship? We were still getting in touch and my dad knew this. I sometimes spoke with him on the phone. My dad never stopped or scolded me. My father didn’t actually understand   English Language   and so didn’t understand what I was saying.  I came to Nigeria in 1987 to   pay him a visit.  I told everyone else  except my dad and stepmother. My husband was then staying at   1004 in   Lagos.  It was  during this  visit that  he has  got a job with the United Nations Children’s Fund United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), after working for  some  few years   with the Lagos State government. We decided to get married, and  so we  prayed   about it and  God gave us middle of January, precisely January 16  the following year, as our wedding date. What was your husband’s family reaction to his choice of you? His father asked him if there was no other person  in Nigeria he could marry.  I met   some of his siblings  and we were cautious in  the way we related. How did the wedding go? We had it in our home  church in Penang. None of my family members attended. My father bribed my  two sisters in New Zealand  with money so as not to attend. Only my aunty and her four children attended and she came  back the next day to the hotel where we stayed weeping that she was scolded by other family members. How long did it take your dad in particular to come to terms with your choice of husband? I was writing him to give him update about us though he never replied. Even while in Australia, he never replied my letters aside the one I wrote on the choice of my husband. I actually never   experienced  the love of a father.  Two years after our wedding, I  travelled  home and stayed in my uncle’s hotel. I   had our first child with me. My dad also came in to see my uncle. On sighting me, he  avoided me. Again, while on a visit to my sister in  Singapore, I tried to speak with him on phone but he hung up. In  December 1993  which was  our  daughter’s fifth  birthday,  the ice was finally broken.  He held a reception for us and invited relatives. How did your spouse and father relate? They  shook hands  but couldn’t communicate because  as I said, my  father  didn’t   understand  English Language, but I remember that  my  husband helped  iron my father’s  shirts. What were the things you found strange on getting   to Nigeria? We were then living in Ketu in Lagos  and the way people run after molue,  sell by the roadside,  irregular  power supply and having to carry buckets to fetch water  due to  lack of  water supply, the sandy paths and untarred  roads were somehow strange to me. But then, with the kind of upbringing I had, I  could adapt to any situation. Another is the family member issue. Being the first child, he had to bear the  responsibility of training his siblings and attend to some other needs or demands of his family. Where is your spouse from? Odeyinka in Osun State.  His mother is from Apomu also in Osun State. Have you ever been to these places? Yes. We pay them visits and even take the children along. We also go to Gbongan, Ipetumodu and Ikire. How easy was it learning Yoruba language? I picked quite a bit like greetings especially. My husband taught me how to greet.  I did my shopping at Mile 2 market. How did you  interact with the traders? They call me their  husband (oko mi).  Some would help   bring the stuffs   to me so that I could  make my choice.  I remember a female trader got so  excited   during one of my shoppings  that she carried me and  swung  me around. What things  did you find interesting? Partying and blocking of roads. Nigerians do a lot of dancing. In Malaysia you don’t block the roads unless when  rituals are being carried out   during a  burial ceremony.  What were the things you learnt to do? I learnt to prepare amala, eba, egusi and okro soups, among others. What about backing of babies?  I didn’t do that because I’m not tall. Our help did that. What is your favourite  Nigerian dish? Moin moin and pap for breakfast and pounded yam with egusi soup for the other meals. Can you pound yam? I did it once but it was actually a little quantity. My husband later bought the pounding machine. How will you describe a Nigerian man? I won’t say a Nigerian man but a Christian man. Even though born again, some   men have not removed their Nigerian mentality of dealing with women. You shouldn’t treat your wife as a slave. It amazes me when  a man  or his wife  says ’my children’ or ‘my car’  and the like. In marriage, you  no longer say  ‘yours’ or  ‘mine’ but ‘ours’.  A man who has the understanding of what marriage entails runs his home in line with the Bible culture and I thank God that through the different   Christian trainings we have had, my husband understands this.  He protects me in many ways. For example,  If we are going to give his parents money, I sometimes  sign the  cheque. What thrills you about your spouse? He’s   very caring and he displays   this nature   not only to his family members, but whoever comes his way. What  other things did you discover about him? He can also be angry and when he is, he looks stern and   wears that cold face. Where do both of  you  differ? He loves visiting  but   my life is a close-circuit one. Do you consider your husband romantic? We are very free with each other; free to express ourselves   and make each other to laugh. We  are friends to each other. What has made your marriage work till date? Openness, commitment, trust, humility, joint decision—even if you don’t agree on an issue, you should exercise patience. But some husbands will say, ‘how can I listen to my wife?’ We pray together   on issues and  hear from God what steps to take. Yours was a long distance relationship. Will you encourage your children to do same? It wasn’t that easy, but then our case is different. We knew each other physically before he came back to Nigeria. But I object to internet friendship because it can be deceitful. To what  extent are your children exposed to the Nigerian lifestyle? They   know how to greet  in Yoruba language. When they were  young, they sometimes attended occasions in Yoruba traditional outfits. Do you also attend socials in the traditional wears? I don’t like iro and buba because you have to  tie  the wrapper round you. I like it free like the Kaftan or boubou. Culled From Tribune</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a> Popular yoruba actor Yinka Quadri has started a poultry business That Cost Him Over N20million.  In 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. Where is the farm? It’s along Shagamu Road, Ikorodu, Lagos.  There is a place designated as poultry farm.  The farm was allocated by the state government for that purpose.  And as we all know, commercial and large scale poultry can’t be practiced in the main town, it has to be at the outskirts, where you will have spacious land.  That’s why I established it at that place.  I am also using this medium to solicit government support so that it can be bigger than what I really planned. How much have you spent so far on the project? I have spent about N7m, and I am still spending.  That’s why I am in need of more funds to ensure the project is completed to my satisfaction. At 55, what are the things you feel you can’t do again going by the fact that you’re getting old now? What I think I know how to do best is my job, which is acting.  I am still very agile and intelligent as usual.  If they invite me for roles in different locations, without writing them anywhere, I won’t forget the dates of my appointments with all the producers.  I still have a very sound memory.  And I don’t report late at any movie location.  So, the fact that I have clocked 55 has not changed anything in me.  I am still the same Yinka Quadri.  Even, if I am invited to a location in Ilorin, Kwara State, I will get there before the person that invites me. It’s not by my power, it’s God’s grace. What would you say has been working for you? Nothing but prayer.  You can ask anybody, I don’t have any hidden place.  Anybody that visits me is free to have access to my bedroom or anywhere in my house.  I have no skeleton in my cupboard.  I believe in prayer, and that has been working for me.  Almighty Allah that I worship has not disappointed me. What has been your greatest achievement so far? God has done a lot for me, not just one thing.  First, for keeping me alive is beyond human knowledge.  And all what God has been doing for me since I was born till when I became an actor in 1978 have been wonderful and marvelous. I have been rising from glory to glory.  Also, all my children are doing well. I can’t just finish listing all my achievements, and I must tell you all of them are great. That’s why I will forever be grateful to God. No doubt, God has blessed you abundantly, what more do you still expect from God? It’s true that God has blessed me abundantly, but there is no how great or blessed a man is that he won’t still have what he wants from God.  As for me, it’s my poultry project that’s very paramount in my agenda right now.  I want God to help me complete it.  Initially, I thought it was a small thing but I discovered there was nothing small.  Everything is money, especially now that the economy itself doesn’t help matters.  I know God won’t disappoint me, for He has always been with me. You said you have spent about N7m on the poultry, how much are you really looking at to complete it? I am looking at about N20m.  And I believe God will do it.  I won’t relent on my efforts as well. At 55, would you say you have taken any decision in the past that you regretted? No, nothing like that has happened.  If I take any decision, I will try and observe the situation for a while, and if the decision doesn’t bring any progress I will make u-turn before anybody tells me to. When was your happiest moment? That’s whenever I see myself in my personal house which I built in Ikorodu, I always feel very happy. I feel happy and grateful to God because I am no longer paying rent.  Each time I even think of it, I say a big thank you to Almighty Allah. When was your saddest moment? That was when I lost my dad in 1994.  We just celebrated 20th years of his death. And it was a memorable moment in my life.  A lot of dignitaries including the Oloro of Oro, Oba Raphael Ajiboye, Kwara first lady, some of the state commissioners and others were at the event.
