Veteran of Nollywood Kanayo O. Kanayo has called men a “endangered species.”
He bemoaned the fact that affluent individuals lavish so much money on female performers that it gives the impression that the male actors are not as dedicated.
Kanayo was featured in a recent edition of “The Honest Bunch,” a podcast co-hosted by Deity Cole and Husband Material.
“We appear to be not working hard because many wealthy Nigerian men patronise our women and give them benefits,” he bemoaned.
“The majority of wealthy Nigerian guys spend so much money on our girls that it makes us impoverished. You phone up a girl who you think might be your girlfriend. She tells you she wants to make a production and asks you between N100 and N150 million, which you give her. However, you’ll tell me to “go and work hard, my friend” if I’m not doing well.
“Let’s investigate this matter because have you ever witnessed a woman request financial assistance to cover any medical costs? Just the men are involved. To put it plainly, we are a threatened species.
