“Give Your First Salary To Your Father, Not Your Pastor” – Kanayo O. Kanayo [Video]

Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo celebrated his son Clinton Mbaise’s entry into the filmmaking world by accepting his first paycheck from a movie production and offering paternal blessings.

Clinton received a salary of N50,000 for his work, and in a video shared on Kanayo’s Instagram page, his father requested a symbolic N500 from it before praying for his son’s prosperity in the industry.

In the video, Kanayo O Kanayo advised Nigerians to give their first salary to their fathers for blessings rather than to pastors, emphasizing that only a father’s blessing holds significance.

He sees this cultural practice, passed down from ancestors, as instrumental in the success of many, noting that it as an opportunity for fathers to impart financial wisdom to their children.

Kanayo said, “I want to observe a culture from our ancestors which has led to the progress of many people you see today, ”Father blessing.’

“Clinton my son just concluded a few production management with us and he has earned his first salary, his first salary is N50,000 for a movie.

“Clinton from your pocket in the N50,000 give me N500.

“The first salary of a young man, he goes to his father to say Nnayi my salary is N50,000, the father may decide to take the entire money, he may also decide to take any amount and his father will now bless him.

“The idea of his father asking him to know the salary is, so his father would teach him financial management.

“All you going to pastors to give your salary, you are wasting your time, is not part of our culture.”
