Nollywood veteran actor Kanayo O Kanayo has sparked conversations after sharing his strong opinions on the role of men in relationships, particularly emphasizing the importance of financial responsibility.
On October 13, 2024, the actor took to social media to criticize the rising trend of men depending on women for financial assistance, describing this behavior as both “useless and dangerous.”
In his video, Kanayo expressed concern over the impact such dynamics could have on family structure and progress.
“I woke up this morning and was disturbed by a trend I find useless and dangerous,” Kanayo stated.
He further explained that when men fail to provide for their families, it often leads to a negative cycle where women defend their husbands, potentially stunting the man’s progress.
According to the actor, it is the man’s duty to care for and support his family, stressing that failure in this aspect undermines his role in the household.
“A man who cannot feed his family has no need to use his private parts on a woman,” Kanayo bluntly declared, reinforcing his belief that financial provision is crucial in a marriage.
He urged women to reconsider their approach to protecting their partners, arguing that covering for irresponsible behavior could lead to further dependency.
In his message to women, Kanayo advised them to be discerning in their choice of partner, stressing the importance of balancing love with practical considerations like a man’s ability to provide.
“Provision is key,” he reiterated, urging women to reflect on whether their husbands are making the necessary effort to contribute to the household.
Kanayo’s statements have ignited debate, with many viewers discussing the evolving roles and responsibilities within modern relationships.
