In a bold declaration of his priorities, Kanayo Kanayo denounced pastors and declared that it is more important to honor one’s father with a first paycheck than to honor a pastor.
In his statement, Kanayo not only defended his actions but also highlighted the importance of respecting ancestral customs. He explained that those who honor their fathers and follow in the footsteps of their ancestors tend to experience greater success and progress in life.
In a heartfelt moment captured on Kanayo’s Instagram, the veteran actor bestowed a blessing upon his son Clinton, who had just earned his first N50,000 paycheck from working in the film industry alongside his father. After requesting a symbolic N500 as a token of respect and gratitude, Kanayo offered a prayer for Clinton’s success in the industry, cementing the importance of family and tradition in a poignant, public display of affection.
Kanayo Kanayo then urged Nigerians to embrace a more ancestral approach to their finances. Speaking from his own experience, Kanayo urged people to avoid handing their first paycheck over to pastors, but instead to offer it to their fathers, who have the most powerful capacity to bless their children. This traditional practice, he argued, not only strengthens family bonds but also ensures that a child’s future is grounded in their past and their heritage.
He said, “I want to observe a culture from our ancestors which has led to the progress of many people you see today, ”Father blessing.’
“Clinton my son just concluded a few production management with us and he has earned his first salary, his first salary is N50,000 for a movie.
“Clinton from your pocket in the N50,000 give me N500.
“The first salary of a young man, he goes to his father to say Nnayi my salary is N50,000, the father may decide to take the entire money, he may also decide to take any amount and his father will now bless him.
“The idea of his father asking him to know the salary is, so his father would teach him financial management.
“All you going to pastors to give your salary, you are wasting your time, is not part of our culture.”
