Veteran actor Kanayo O Kanayo has stated that men who do not provide for their families “have no right to intimacy.”
In a Sunday Instagram post, the 62-year-old actor stressed that financial responsibility is a crucial part of marriage, highlighting the importance of men supporting their households.
He emphasized that men have a sacred duty, backed by holy scriptures, to provide for their families through hard work.
Kanayo also urged women not to shield their husbands from financial challenges, warning that doing so may encourage “laziness and irresponsibility.”
“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.”
