Veteran Nollywood icon, Kanayo O Kanayo, has issued a stern caution to parents, advising them to scrutinize the origins of any monetary gifts received from their children.
The actor delivered this admonition at a recent event, a moment captured and widely shared on social media platforms.
In a viral video clip, Kanayo emphasized the importance of parents actively engaging with their children regarding the source of their possessions.
He expressed concern that a lack of curiosity about their children’s finances could inadvertently foster corrupt tendencies.
Kanayo urged parents to adopt a proactive approach, advocating for a habit of inquiry into their children’s financial activities.
He highlighted scenarios where children might present extravagant gifts or funds without a clear explanation of their origins, urging parents to exercise vigilance in such situations.
He cautioned, “Your daughter is 20, she is using a phone of N1.5 million, then she gives you N100,000 and you fail to ask questions about the source. You wouldn’t live long. That is what is killing a lot of parents. Your son who is not working returns home with some money or a car, and you do not ask questions. I’m warning you.”
