Veteran Nigerian actor, Anayo Modestus Onyekwere, popularly known as Kanayo O. Kanayo gladly introduced his first son, Clinton, to the world of filmmaking.
Kanayo O. Kanayo shared a video on his official Facebook page of himself welcoming Clinton to a movie set and appointing him as assistant production manager.
In a rare demonstration of fairness and professionalism, the experienced actor issued a clear command to the crew, emphasizing that Clinton's role was earned on merit and should not be given preferential treatment because of their familial relationship.
Kanayo O. Kanayo underlined that his son was on the movie set to work and earn money, just like everyone else. He made it plain that he did not want special treatment for Clinton and urged the team to correct him if needed.
He said; “This is Clinton, my first son and he’s joining us today as the assistant production manager and PA to me. Don’t treat him like my son, it’s a warning I’m giving to everybody, he’s here to work.
“He’s going to earn a fee like you are earning a fee, so don’t begin to say ‘na KOK son’, I no dey for that kain thing, treat his as production crew, he’s going to understudy you and learn this work, treat him with respect to the extent that you’re treating others with respect, that’s what I want him to grow into, I don’t want you to spoil my son for me when things go bad and you’re not correcting him.
“He’s joining us today and he’s just finished from Babcock University, he studied ICT.”
Captioning the clip; Kanayo wrote; “We resumed filming today.,My son, Clinton, Onyeze Mbaise, joins us as Assistant Production Manager & my,Personal Assistant.
“He is an intern to understudy Film making and Management before proceeding for further studies. We should let our children work in our organisations or other establishments to appreciate industry. Kudos Onyeze. Welcome on board Simpliciter Associates Productions”
