Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo recently celebrated his son Clinton Mbaise's entry into the filmmaking industry. In accordance with African customs, Kanayo chose to honor this milestone by accepting his son's initial earnings from his work on set and bestowing his fatherly blessings upon him.
Previously, Kanayo had introduced Clinton to the members of Simpliciter Associates Productions, his production company, while on a movie set. He announced that Clinton would be working as an assistant production manager and personal assistant to him.
In a video shared on Kanayo's Instagram account on Thursday, he requested his son's first salary as a Nollywood production manager assistant. He also advised people to seek blessings from their fathers with their first salary, rather than from their pastors.
However, Kanayo mentioned that the amount of money a parent may take from their child's salary varies depending on the individual. He emphasized that only a father has the authority to bless his child.
Kanayo stated, "I want to uphold a cultural tradition passed down from our ancestors, which has contributed to the success of many individuals today: 'Father's blessing.'
"Clinton, my son, has just completed his work as a production manager with us, and he has earned his first salary of N50,000 for a movie.
"Clinton, from your N50,000, give me N500.
"When a young man receives his first salary, he goes to his father and says, 'Father, my salary is N50,000.' The father may choose to take the entire amount or any portion of it, and then bless his son.
"The reason for the father asking to know the salary is to teach his son financial management.
Kanayo emphasizes that your initial paycheck is intended for your father, not the pastor.
"Those who go to pastors to give their salary are wasting their time, as it is not part of our culture."
