Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo Kanayo ignited buzz among fans with a heartfelt prayer for his son, who got admitted to a U.S. university. As his son readies to leave, Kanayo shared a moving prayer on Instagram, sparking chatter among fans.
In a social media video, Kanayo prayed for his son’s well-being, hoping he would maintain his sexuality amidst increasing trends of transgenderism and cross-dressing. His protective stance reflects the changing societal times.
Additionally, Kanayo’s prayer also covered other key points. He hoped his son would focus on studies over tattoos and stick to the values imparted since childhood.
In his prayer, Kanayo declared,
America will be proud of you. Your achievements will cause America to celebrate you. You will imbibe the good of the land and eat the good thereof. You will continue to be a HE from Ezinihitte Mbaise in Nigeria. Your focus shall be on your books and job, NOT ON TATTOOS. May you never depart from your upbringing. Do not forget God. You shall ever remain on God’s Radar and GPS. Good luck, boy.”
The actor’s prayer points sparked mixed reactions among his fans. While some found humour in the specificity of his prayers, others appreciated the protective nature of a father’s love and concern for his child’s well-being.
Social media users commented on the post, expressing thoughts and amusement. Many found Kanayo’s insistence on his son remaining a “HE” amusing in light of gender identity debates. Some fans humorously hoped his son wouldn’t choose a traditionally feminine name.
