Renowned Nollywood actor, Anayo Modestus Onyekwere, widely known as Kanayo O Kanayo, has expressed his belief that paying salaries to pastors is a waste of time.
The actor, who recently introduced his son, Clinton Mbaise, to the film industry, shared his views on his Instagram page via a video on Thursday, May 9th, 2023.
In the video posted on his Instagram account, he humorously requested N500 from his son’s earnings and asked him to kneel for prayers.
Kanayo emphasized the tradition of children presenting their first earnings to their fathers rather than to pastors, suggesting that this practice has contributed to the advancement of many individuals through paternal blessings.

The actor 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.”
