By Anayo Onyekwere, popularly known as Kanayo O. Kanayo, has set clear expectations for his daughter, Valerie Uloaku, as she marked her 25th birthday.
Taking to social media on Tuesday, Kanayo celebrated his daughter’s milestone while reminding her of the timeline he has set for major life decisions. He stated that by age 27, she must either get married, complete a PhD, or leave his house.
“My dear daughter, Uloaku (Bank/house of wealth), congratulations on your 25th birthday,” he wrote. “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, known for his strict personality on and off-screen, also reflected on his daughter’s frequent travels. He humorously compared her lifestyle to that of an actor, emphasizing that good actors are always on the move because they are in high demand.
