A video of popular Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu, sharing his thoughts on self-love, has recently surfaced on social media. This came after news broke that his ex-wife, Naa Okailey, who now resides abroad, had married another man. The video has sparked different reactions from netizens, with some agreeing with Kwaku Manu’s message and others expressing disagreement.
Kwaku Manu, a well-known figure in the Ghanaian movie industry, has not directly addressed his ex-wife's marriage. However, in a video shared on TikTok, he decided to focus on spreading a message of self-love. The actor explained that it is important for people to love themselves first before they can love others, including their spouse or children. He emphasized that self-love is the foundation of all other forms of love and is crucial for maintaining personal well-being and happiness.
In his message, Kwaku Manu pointed out that many people forget to take care of themselves while trying to care for others. He stated that in order to properly love and care for a spouse or children, one must first learn to love themselves. According to him, self-love enables individuals to offer genuine love to others. "You can only offer love when you love yourself first," Kwaku Manu said in the video.
The actor also highlighted the importance of loving one’s job. He explained that people should prioritize their work, as it is through their job that they can earn money to support their family. "If you do not love your work, how will you provide for your spouse and children?" he asked. Kwaku Manu advised that loving your job leads to financial stability, which in turn helps you show love and care for your family.
His message on self-love has drawn mixed reactions from social media users. While some praised the actor for offering wise counsel, others were skeptical of his comments. Those who supported him agreed that self-love is essential, especially in times of emotional hardship, such as dealing with a divorce or a breakup. They commended Kwaku Manu for handling the situation maturely and for choosing to focus on positive self-care instead of dwelling on negativity.
On the other hand, some netizens criticized his remarks, suggesting that his advice was an indirect response to his ex-wife's new marriage. They speculated that Kwaku Manu might still be heartbroken over the news of Naa Okailey’s wedding.
Others questioned why the actor chose to speak on the topic of self-love at a time when his ex-wife's marriage was making headlines, assuming that it was a subtle reaction to the situation.
