- KOK noted that parents who don’t do that will die young, and this drew the attention of many Nigerians
Popular Nollywood actor Anayo Onyekwere, aka Kanayo O. Kanayo, has condemned parents who collect expensive gifts from their children without questioning the source.
In a video making the rounds on social media, the veteran movie star was seen addressing parents at an event when he shared his thoughts on the matter.
According to KOK, some parents are always quick to rejoice when they see their children without a job with expensive phones or money and do not question how they got those things.
He added that these parents will go ahead and collect monetary gifts from their children despite knowing that they are jobless. Kanayo O Kanayo stated emphatically that those kinds of parents won’t live long.
He said:
“Your daughter is 20, she no dey work, she carry phone of N1.5 million, you’re praising the Lord that your daughter bought a phone. Then she dashes you N100k, N200k, and you didn’t ask questions. You won’t live long. That is what is killing a lot of parents. Their son who is not working comes with some kind of money and some kind of car and you don’t ask questions.”
