Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo has expressed his views on the responsibilities of men in relationships, stressing the importance of provision.
The veteran actor posted a video criticizing the trend of men depending on women for financial support, calling it “useless and dangerous.”
“I woke up this morning and I was disturbed by a trend that I have found useless and dangerous. When a man depends on a woman to feed him, the usual thing, which is the most disturbing part, is that women want to defend their husbands so that whatever is happening inside doesn’t get to the outside. Sometimes it is detrimental to the progress of the man.”

The actor stressed his views regarding family dynamics, stating that men have to take care of their families.
“Every man has a responsibility to his family; a man who cannot take care of his family is worse. What I am saying is that a man who cannot feed his family does not need to use his private parts on a woman. It is your responsibility, yet women try to cover their husbands.”

Kanayo also spoke to women, urging them to consider their choices in marriage carefully, adding that constantly defending men could make them irresponsible. “This is advice to women: know who you marry. I know all you place above is love, ‘I love him, I love him’ but provision is key,” he said.
According to Kanayo O. Kanayo, when men are irresponsible, women and children suffer the pain.
“Even when he loses his job, and is always in the house and doesn’t struggle and hustle like other men. I understand the need to defend them but don’t make them irresponsible. He does not take his bills again.
“Especially if your children are still within the growing age. When you have to pay school fees and so on. It brings a whole lot to the woman.”

The veteran actor shared his personal experience.
“It brings pressure on the woman. I have a personal experience of somebody who even if the car of the wife goes bad pretends he does not know. It got to a level when the conversion became so open. There is a need for every man to be hardworking.”
