Nigerian veteran actor Kanayo.O.Kanayo has stirred reactions following the birthday wish he sent to his daughter on her birthday.
His daughter had turned 25 years old today and he had taken to his Instagram page to wish her a happy birthday and express himself.
The actor urged his daughter to use her birthday as an opportunity for sober reflection, beginning with heartfelt praise for her.
He then issued a striking ultimatum, telling her to either get married, pursue her PHD or, move out of his house before 2027.
A part of his post read;
“My dear daughter, Uloaku (Bank/house of wealth) CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 25th birthday. From little Valerie to a prospective Madam Uloaku. As I told you this morning while praying for you, it should be a day of SOBER REFLECTIONS. THINGS TO COPY, THINGS TO PASTE. THINGS TO DELETE. What realities there are and the facade of things thereof. Your issue with me has always been “you are always travelling, hardly at home”. Uloaku, GOOD ACTORS travel, always on the move because they are always HIRED. Thank God I am still VERY ACTIVE and relevant. Try and tolerate me. In all these, please ensure that before 2027, you are either walking DOWN THE AISLE, GOING FOR YOUR PhD or walking out of my house.”
His post has sparked mixed reactions from fans and internet users, with some urging him not to pressure his daughter and others defending his stance as typical of an African father.
