Renowned Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, marks his son Clinton Onyekwere’s 22nd birthday by expressing admiration for his commendable qualities. Sharing a photo on Instagram, the proud father describes Clinton as a selfless individual who prioritizes the feelings of his younger siblings. Kanayo reminisces about his son’s choice to forgo extravagant gifts to ensure his siblings’ happiness. Despite Clinton turning 22, Kanayo emphasizes the importance of discipline and punishment, expressing pride in his commitment to African cultural traditions.
In his words;
“Onyeze Mbaise, Clinton Onyekwere, my first son is 22 years old today (10/11). While I join millions of friends to wish him a happy birthday, I declare as follows:
“Onyeze Mbaise has the most infectious smile I ever saw on my mother’s face. A son with a good heart. If you ever took him out, and bought him anything, he will remind you he has an only sister, Valerie, and two younger one’s, Kosisocchukwu, Einstein, and that instead of buying one expensive item for him,, you should kindly spread that money to buy for him and his siblings. Wonderful boy.
“On this birthday, dear Onyeze, DO NOT tell me you are now 22 and therefore you can drink alcohol, smoke, do what the boys do, park out of our house etc. BEING 22 IS NOT A LICENCE TO IRRESPONSIBILITY.
My dear son, many parents are going through a lot with their children after turning 21. Don’t forget, I am an African, a traditional Igbo Chief, Ihe Mbaise ji ka Mba, Ugwu Ndigbo, a knock on the head is still part of our culture, that moulded many of us. You can still get one WITH LOVE. Happy birthday. Ya gazie Your dad.”
