Nollywood star Kanayo O. Kanayo recently gave his son, Clinton, a chance to enter the film industry. Kanayo shared the news on his Instagram page. He showed Clinton meeting the crew of his production company, Simpliciter Associates Productions, on a movie set.
Clinton won’t be receiving special treatment, though.
Kanayo explained that his son would be working hard as both an assistant production manager and Kanayo’s personal assistant.
He said,
“This is Clinton Onyeze Mbaise, my first son. And he is joining us today as assistant production manager and as PA to me. Do not treat him like my son. It is a warning I am giving to everybody. He is here to work. He is going to earn a fee like every other person. Do not begin to say na K.O.K son. I no dey for that kind thing. Treat him as member of production crew. He is going to understudy the production manager and learn this work. Treat him with respect to the extent that you are treating others with respect. That is what I want him to grow into. I do not want you to spoil my son for me when you are not telling him not to do some things. So please, he is joining us today. He has just finished from Babcock University. He studied ICT.”
Kanayo also shared that Clinton is a recent graduate of Babcock University.
This film industry opportunity will allow Clinton to learn the ropes of filmmaking and management firsthand before he goes on to pursue further studies.
“My son, Clinton, Onyeze Mbaise, joins us as assistant production manager & my personal assistant. He is an intern to understudy filmmaking 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,” he wrote.
The ace actor is married to Nneka Onyekwere, and they have four children together—three boys and a girl.
