Nigerian veteran actor and lawyer, Kanayo O. Kanayo popularly known as K.O.K. has announced the joining of his first son Clinton Onyeze Mbaise to the Nollywood film industry.
Kanayo revealed this in a video he posted on his Instagram page on Monday noting that his son will be joining his production company, Simpliciter Associates Productions, as an assistant production manager and personal assistant to him.
Kanayo emphasized in the video that his son should be treated like any other crew member because he is there to work and he should not be given any preferential treatment because of his kinship.
He said, “This is Clinton Onyeze Mbaise, my first son. And he is joining us today as assistant production manager and as my personal assistant.
“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 a member of the production crew.”
KOK also disclosed that Clinton is a fresh graduate of Babcock University with a degree in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In his words, “So please, he is joining us today. He has just graduated from Babcock University. He studied ICT. 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,” he added.
Kanayo wrote in his caption that Clinton will first pursue studies in management and filmmaking before moving on to other courses.
He also stated that he thought it was important for kids to work in the companies or other places that their families owned.
“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 in his caption.
