Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has called men an “endangered species.”
He bemoaned the fact that affluent individuals lavish so much money on female actresses 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.
“Many Nigerian rich men patronize our women and give them benefits that make us look like we are not working hard,” he lamented.
“Nigerian rich men, most of them spend money on our girls to the extent that it impoverishes us. You call a girl, she’s your girlfriend, she says she wants to do a production and demand N100 million to N150 million and you give her. But if na me wey be KOK, you’ll say ‘go and work hard, my friend.’ “Let’s look into this issue because have you seen any lady ask for financial help for any medical expenses? It’s only the men. We are an endangered species, that’s what I am saying.”
