Renowned Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has urged individuals to seek blessings from their fathers with their first salary rather than turning to pastors.
This advice came as he blessed his son, Clinton Mbaise, who recently joined his production company, Simpliciter Associates Productions, as an assistant production manager and personal assistant.
In a video shared on Instagram, Kanayo O. Kanayo expressed his belief in the tradition of seeking parental blessings, highlighting that only a father can bless his child financially.
He emphasized the importance of this cultural practice, stating that it fosters financial management skills and familial bonds.
“I want to observe a culture from our ancestors which has led to the progress of many people you see today, ‘Father blessing,'” Kanayo said in the video.
He further elaborated on the significance of this gesture, noting that parents play a crucial role in guiding their children’s financial decisions.
Kanayo also addressed the misconception of giving one’s salary to pastors, urging Christians to prioritize familial blessings rooted in tradition.
Clinton Mbaise, a graduate of Babcock University with a degree in Information and Communication Technology, recently ventured into the film industry.
Kanayo disclosed that Mbaise would be treated as any other member of the production crew, emphasizing his son’s professional role within the company.
“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.”
The veteran actor’s message resonates with cultural values and underscores the importance of familial support and guidance in financial matters.
