Veteran
Nollywood
actor
Kanayo
O.
Kanayo
has
delivered
strong
criticism
towards
men
who
fail
to
take
financial
responsibility
for
their
families,
asserting
that
such
men
“have
no
right
to
intimacy.”
His
remarks
shared
on
his
Instagram
page,
emphasized
the
essential
role
of
financial
support
in
marriage,
calling
it
a
core
duty
of
every
man.
In
his
message,
the
62-year-old
actor
highlighted
that
men
are
expected
to
provide
for
their
households
through
hard
work
and
dedication,
a
principle
deeply
rooted
in
both
societal
expectations
and
religious
teachings.
According
to
him,
this
responsibility
is
a
key
part
of
marriage,
and
failing
in
this
area
undermines
a
man’s
role
as
a
provider.
Kanayo
stressed
that
a
man’s
financial
duty
to
his
family
is
not
just
a
social
expectation
but
also
a
moral
obligation
guided
by
sacred
texts.
He
warned
that
neglecting
this
duty
can
lead
to
a
breakdown
in
the
family
structure.
The
actor
advised
women
not
to
cover
for
their
husbands’
financial
failures,
as
doing
so
could
encourage
“laziness
and
irresponsibility.”
The
veteran
actor
also
had
words
of
caution
for
young
women
when
choosing
life
partners.
He
urged
them
to
ensure
they
marry
men
who
fully
understand
their
roles
and
responsibilities
in
providing
for
their
families.
“I’ve
noticed
a
troubling
trend
where
men
depend
on
others
for
financial
support.
Even
more
concerning
is
when
women
defend
their
husbands
just
to
keep
family
issues
private,”
Kanayo
stated.
He
further
explained
that
women,
by
shielding
their
husbands
from
this
responsibility,
might
be
hindering
their
personal
growth
and
progress.
He
reiterated
that
a
man’s
primary
duty
is
to
provide
for
his
family,
as
supported
by
religious
scriptures.
“A
man
who
cannot
provide
for
his
household
is
worse
than
nothing,”
he
quoted.
Kanayo
concluded
with
a
strong
statement,
saying,
“A
man
who
can’t
feed
his
family
has
no
right
to
engage
in
intimate
relations
with
a
woman.
It’s
a
responsibility.
Young
women,
be
mindful
of
who
you
marry.”
His
message
serves
as
a
reminder
of
the
importance
of
financial
responsibility
in
maintaining
a
stable
and
fulfilling
family
life.
