According to the actor, the money and the gifts given by wealthy men to the women of other men make the other men feel like they are not trying enough.
Kanayo O. Kanayo speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast noted that men are “endangered species”. KOK said “Many wealthy Nigerian men patronize our women and give them benefits that make us look like we are not working hard,”
“Nigerian rich men, most of them spend money on our girls to the extent that it impoverishes us. You call a girl, she’s your girlfriend, she says she wants to do a production and demands N100 million to N150 million and you give her. But if it’s me, KOK, you’ll say ‘go and work hard, my friend.
“Let’s look into this issue because have you seen any lady ask for financial help for any medical expenses? It’s only the men. We are an endangered species, that’s what I am saying”.
Actor and lawyer Kanayo O. Kanayo is a veteran from Nigeria. For his work in the film Family Battle, he was awarded the 2006 Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
