Renowned Nollywood actor Kanayo Kanayo has ignited a cultural debate with his recent message urging individuals to prioritize their fathers over pastors when it comes to blessings for their first salary.
The veteran actor shared a heartwarming moment with his son, Clinton, who presented his first earnings as a Nollywood production manager assistant.
In a poignant video clip, Kanayo Kanayo emphasized the importance of honoring one’s parents by seeking their blessings for the first salary earned.
