At 27, you should be either married or pursuing a PhD – KOK writes daughter
Veteran Nollywood actor, Anayo Onyekwere, widely known as Kanayo O. Kanayo, recently took to social media to celebrate his daughter, Valerie, on her 25th birthday with a heartfelt and candid message.
Marking the milestone, the proud father praised his daughter while also sharing his expectations for her future.
He made it clear that by the time she turns 27, he expects her to either be married, pursuing a PhD, or living independently.
He wrote, “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, and things to delete. What realities there are and the facade of things thereof.”
Kanayo reminisced about how she would often challenge him for being away on movie sets, missing out on time at home. He explained that constant travel is part of the job for successful actors and expressed gratitude for remaining active and in demand in the industry.
“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.”
He wrapped up his message by stating that by 2027, he expects her to either walk down the aisle, pursue a PhD, or move out and live independently.
“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. Simpliciter. Ka Chukwu Okike Abiama gozierem Uloaku.”
