Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo recently stirred conversation with his strong stance on men’s financial responsibility in marriage. He argued that men who fail to provide for their families should not expect intimacy. In an Instagram video shared on October 13, 2024, he expressed concern over the growing trend of men relying on women for financial support, calling it “useless and dangerous.” Kanayo emphasized that financial provision is a core responsibility for men, rooted in religious and societal expectations. He also advised women not to cover up for financially irresponsible husbands, as doing so might encourage laziness.
His statement has sparked debate on social media, as he urged young women to carefully choose partners who understand the significance of providing for their households.
