‘Men who cant provide shouldn’t expect love’ – Actor Kanayo

Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo recently took to Instagram to call out men who neglect their financial responsibilities to their families.

In his post, the 62-year-old actor asserted that men who fail to provide have “no right to intimacy,” stressing the crucial role of financial stability in marriage.

Kanayo highlighted that providing for one’s household is not just a societal expectation but also a moral obligation, rooted in religious teachings.

He reminded men that hard work and responsibility are essential to maintaining a family.

Furthermore, the actor cautioned women against enabling financial irresponsibility by shielding their husbands from their duties, as this could foster laziness.

He also advised young women to choose partners wisely, encouraging them to seek men who fully understand and embrace their obligations.

He said, “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.”
