Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo recently marked his son Clinton Mbaise’s debut in the filmmaking industry with a nod to African traditions. Kanayo chose to adhere to customary practices by accepting his son’s inaugural earnings from his on-set endeavors and imparting his paternal blessings upon him.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the actor had introduced Clinton to the team at Simpliciter Associates Productions, his production company, during a movie shoot. He announced Clinton’s role as an assistant production manager and his personal assistant.<\/p>\n
In a video shared on Kanayo’s Instagram account, he not only requested his son’s first salary as a Nollywood production manager assistant but also encouraged others to seek blessings from their fathers with their initial earnings, rather than seeking them from pastors.<\/p>\n
Kanayo emphasized the variability in the amount a parent may choose to receive from their child’s earnings, underscoring that only a father can bestow such blessings.<\/p>\n
He expressed, “I want to uphold a tradition passed down by our ancestors, which has propelled many individuals to success\u2014’Father’s blessing.’<\/p>\n
“Clinton, my son, has just completed his stint in production management with us and has earned his first salary, amounting to N50,000 for his work on a movie.<\/p>\n
“As a symbolic gesture, Clinton, from your earnings, give me N500.<\/p>\n
“When a young man receives his first salary, he should present it to his father, saying, ‘Father, my salary is N50,000.’ The father may choose to accept the entire sum or a portion thereof, followed by bestowing his blessings upon his child.<\/p>\n
“The purpose of this tradition is for the father to impart financial wisdom and guidance to his son.<\/p>\n
“For those who habitually offer their salaries to pastors, it’s futile and contrary to our cultural norms.”<\/p>\n
