Kanayo O. Kanayo, a veteran Nollywood actor, honors his son, Clinton Onyekwere, on his 22nd birthday by highlighting his great traits.
Kanayo O. Kanayo took to Instagram to share a photo of his son with a touching remark.
The happy father characterized his son as a selfless man who is extremely concerned about the feelings of his younger siblings.
He recalled how Clinton turned down extravagant gifts to ensure the happiness of his siblings. Kanayo, on the other hand, made it plain that his son’s age of 22 does not excuse him from discipline and punishment, underlining his pride in being an African who appreciates and keeps his cultural customs.
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.”
