Iconic Nollywood actor Anayo Onyekwere, widely known as Kanayo O. Kanayo, has made headlines after sharing his expectations for his daughter, Valerie Uloaku, on her 25th birthday. In a heartfelt post on social media, Kanayo celebrated his daughter’s milestone while laying out clear goals for her future.
Kanayo, who is known for his roles in Nigerian cinema and his outspoken views, took to Instagram on Tuesday to wish Valerie a happy birthday. He reflected on her journey from childhood to adulthood and expressed his hopes for her future.
“My dear daughter, Uloaku (Bank/house of wealth), congratulations on your 25th birthday,” he began. “From little Valerie to a prospective Madam Uloaku. As I told you this morning while praying for you, it should be a day of sober reflections, things to copy, things to paste, and things to delete. What realities there are and the facade of things thereof.”
In a lighthearted yet serious tone, the veteran actor also shared a personal observation about Valerie’s frequent travels. He humorously noted that her busy schedule has led to her being “hardly at home,” while also mentioning his continued success and relevance in the entertainment industry.
However, it was his final words that truly captured attention. Kanayo set a deadline for his daughter’s next steps in life, stating that by the time she turns 27, she must either be married, pursuing a PhD, or preparing to leave his house. “In all these, please ensure that before 2027, you are either walking down the aisle, going for your PhD, or walking out of my house. Simpliciter,” Kanayo wrote, adding a prayer for her success in all her endeavors.
