In a recent episode of “The Honest Bunch” podcast hosted by Husband Material and Deity Cole, actor Kanayo spoke on current trends in Nigerian society. He raised a point of contention regarding the relationship between the country’s wealthy men and women, pointing out that many of these men spend astronomical sums on women, leaving the impression that other individuals, especially men, do not not working hard enough.
Kanayo expressed concern about the impact of these practices on the economy and society as a whole. According to him, the fact that wealthy men grant considerable financial advantages to women can cause general impoverishment, by creating a financial imbalance between the genders. He highlighted the contrast between the treatment of women, who are often paid large sums of money for personal projects, and that of men, who are often encouraged to “work hard” to achieve their goals.
The actor lamented the fact that requests for financial assistance for medical expenses mainly come from men, highlighting a disparity in financial support between genders. He characterized this situation as endangering masculinity, stating that men have become an endangered species due to these practices.
Kanayo also shared his career aspirations, expressing his desire to remain active in the film industry until he is 90 years old. This determination to pursue his career in film reflects his passion and dedication to his art, as well as his desire to push the boundaries of age in an industry often obsessed with youth.
In conclusion, Kanayo’s remarks raise important questions about gender dynamics, financial equity, and professional sustainability. Her commitment to the film industry and her critical analysis of Nigerian society demonstrate a keen vision of its social and economic reality, while inviting deeper reflection on gender inequalities and challenges that persist in society.
