Fathers Should Teach Their Sons Financial Management – Kanayo O. Kanayo

Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo has come out to urge young people to ensure they give their first salaries to their fathers for his blessings, and not their pastors.

He recently had his say his say while flaunting son, Clinton Mbaise presenting him with the N50,000 he made featuring in a movie.

According to him, observing this culture from the ancestors has led to the progress of many people in the country because only a father can bless his child.

Kanayo added that the idea of a father asking to know the salary of his son is just so the boy can be taught financial management.

His words, “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.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
