Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo, recently introduced his first son, Clinton Mbaise, to the film industry.

In a video posted on his Instagram page on Monday, Kanayo revealed that Clinton will be joining his production company, Simpliciter Associates Productions, as an assistant production manager and personal assistant to him.

In the video, Kanayo emphasised that his son is there to work and should be treated as any other crew member.

He requested that Clinton should not be given special treatment due to his family connection.

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.”

The actor also revealed that Clinton is a recent graduate of Babcock University with a degree in Information and Communication Technology.

“So please, he is joining us today. He has just finished 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.

In his caption, Kanayo stated that Clinton will study filmmaking and management before proceeding with further studies.

He also expressed his belief in the value of children gaining work experience within their family’s businesses or other establishments.

“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.
