Kanayo O Kanayo, the ace actor, says men who fail to provide for their families “have no right to intimacy”.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, the 62-year-old film star emphasized that financial responsibility is a fundamental aspect of marriage, citing the importance of men taking care of their households.
He said men have a sacred responsibility to provide for their families through hard work, citing holy scriptures.
Kanayo also advised women not to overprotect their husbands’ financial struggles, warning that it can foster “laziness and irresponsibility”.
He encouraged young women to carefully choose their partners.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
