Your first salary belongs to your father not pastor – Kanayo O Kanayo
Nollywood veteran actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, has advised people to seek blessings from their fathers with their first salary rather than from their pastors.
The filmmaker made this known while giving his blessing to his son, Clinton Mbaise, who recently joined his production company, Simpliciter Associates Productions, as an assistant production manager and personal assistant to him.
In the video shared on Instagram on Thursday, Kanayo O Kanayo requested his son’s first salary as a Nollywood production manager assistant and also advised people to seek blessings from their fathers with their first salary rather than from their pastors.
“Take your first SALARY to your father for his blessings NOT TO YOUR PASTOR. And to that Pastor who said it belongs to him in a video in January, did you ever consider, the feeding/ transportation to and fro the office for that month? Where is this in the Bible?
“CHRISTIANS WAKE UP. This is not Christianity,” Kanayo captioned the video.
Speaking in the video, Kanayo said the amount of money a parent may recover from their child varies depending on the individual. Kanayo also emphasised that only a father can bless his child.
He 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.”
Mbaise who graduated from Babcock University with a degree in Information and Communication Technology, recently joined the movie industry.
The veteran actor revealed that Mbaise will be joining his production company, emphasizing that his son is there to work and shouldn’t be given any preferential treatment.
“This is Clinton Onyeze Mbaise, my first son. And he is joining us today as assistant production manager and as my personal assistant,” he said.
“Do not treat him like my son. It is a warning I am giving to everybody. He is here to work. He is going to earn a fee like every other person. Do not begin to say na K.O.K son. I no dey for that kind thing. Treat him as a member of the production crew.”
He added that Mbaise studied filmmaking and management before proceeding with further studies.
Nigerian singer, Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has urged fellow artists to stop disrespecting their colleagues.
The ‘Shake Body’ crooner, who was seemingly reacting to the recent trend of celebrities shading each other on social media, said the habit was uncalled for.
He urged his colleagues to be mindful of the fact that stardom is ephemeral.
On his X handle, he wrote: “Stop disrespecting your fellow artiste especially when you know as e dey go.
“You fit dey untop today no mean say the same people wey dey ginger you no go forget you tomorrow.”
The family of late street singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has conducted a new autopsy to determine the cause of his death.
One of the family’s lawyers, Monisola Odumosu, disclosed that the autopsy was conducted on Friday, July 19, and Saturday, July 20.
In a statement, Odumosu said: “The second autopsy, requested by the Aloba family and ordered by Magistrate T.A. Shotobi, took place on July 19 and 20, 2024.
“This is a two-part process, and if the initial examination doesn’t reveal the cause of death, toxicology and histology tests will be conducted.
“The procedure was observed by Mr Joseph Aloba, the forensic pathologist he appointed, his legal representatives, and a pathologist appointed by Wunmi Aloba.”
In June, a Coroner Court magistrate in Ikorodu, Lagos State, T.A. Shotobi, granted Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, permission to hire a licensed pathologist for an independent autopsy.
Mohbad died on September 12, 2023 at the age of 26 in a controversial manner, and the cause of his death remains unclear.
Popular singer and activist, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has urged Nigerian youths not to back down on the planned nationwide protests against bad governance.
Charly Boy said those in power should embrace scrutiny and protest, not suppress it, if they are confident in their integrity.
He made this known in a post on his X handle on Wednesday, while dismissing a report asking Lagos residents to ignore the protest as the Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s government is already doing enough for them.
However, Charly Boy countered the advice, saying they resort to silencing dissenting voices and avoiding accountability because they have secrets to hide.
He said: “A Season of Lies, Wayo, Deceit, Propaganda and the more you Look………..
“If those in power are confident in their integrity, they should embrace scrutiny and protest, not suppress it. But when they resort to silencing dissenting voices and avoiding accountability, it’s clear they have secrets to hide. The ‘skeletons/cemeteries in their cupboard’ are a testament to their corruption and abuse of power.
“In a true democracy, governments must be transparent and answerable to the people. They should welcome criticism and engage in open dialogue, even when it’s uncomfortable. By doing so, they can earn trust and demonstrate their commitment to serving the public interest. But when they try to hide behind secrecy and intimidation, it’s a clear sign of guilt and a betrayal of the people’s trust.
“Nigerian youths don’t ever back down. If dem no fear us, dey can never respect us.
Nonsense. Dia fathers.”
