- Speaking with a wisdom earned from years of experience, Kanayo did not mince words as he dug deep into the true role of husbands within a marriage, laying bare the uncomfortable truths many are too afraid to confront
Kanayo O. Kanayo, the legendary Nollywood actor known for his fearless takes on societal issues, has sparked a firestorm with his latest remarks on the importance of financial responsibility in marriage, sent a powerful message to men who fail to step up.
According to Kanayo, any man who cannot provide for his family has forfeited his right to intimacy, and he didn’t mince words in holding men accountable for their sacred duty.
With his trademark no-nonsense tone, Kanayo stressed that providing for one’s family is not just a casual obligation—it’s a fundamental cornerstone of marriage. He pointed to holy scriptures, emphasizing that a man’s responsibility to his household is divinely ordained.
Kanayo’s message didn’t stop at calling men to action; he also addressed women, cautioning them against overprotecting their husbands’ financial struggles.
While it’s important to stand by their partners in tough times, he warned that turning a blind eye to ongoing laziness or financial irresponsibility only enables bad behavior.
His words;
“I woke up to a trend that I found disturbing. It is useless and dangerous — a man depends on a man to feed him. The most disturbing part is that women want to defend their husbands so that whatever is happening in their homes does not go out
“But sometimes it is detrimental to his progress. Every man has a responsibility to his family. Like we read in the holy books a man who does not provide for his family is worse than.
“But I am saying on this note that a man who cannot feed his family has no need and no use to use his private part on a woman. It is a responsibility. This is an advice to young women. Know who you marry.
“I have been disturbed by this. Do not make the defense for man to make him irresponsible. He does not take his bills again. Especially if your children are still within the growing age. When you have to pay school fees and so on. It brings a whole lot to the woman.
“It brings pressure on the woman. I have a personal experience of somebody who even if the car of the wife goes bad pretends he does not know. It got to a level when the conversion became so open. There is a need for every man to be hardworking.”
