Khalif Kairo says men should prioritise themselves before family
Car dealer and entrepreneur Khalif Kairo has stirred online debate after telling men to always prioritise themselves over their wives and children.
In a firm message shared on Instagram, Kairo said men who ignore their personal development usually fall into depression, lose focus, or even get manipulated in life.
“Life has taught me that you must put yourself first as a man. Guard your energy. If you fail, the world is very cruel,” he wrote.
Kairo explained that men cannot lead their families properly if they are weak, unstable, or broke. According to him, leadership in the home begins with self-discipline, provision, and protection.
He listed four areas every man should focus on: Physical fitness – Regular workouts to stay strong. Financial stability – Securing income and independence. Spiritual life – Building a firm relationship with God. Self-control – Training discipline and taming sexual urges.
“As a man, work out, keep your money right, walk with God, and learn to control your desires,” he advised.
The businessman warned that men who fail to invest in themselves become vulnerable.
“Weak men are easily manipulated, weak men get depressed, weak men rarely survive,” Kairo cautioned.
His tough-love message sparked heated conversations across social media. Some praised him for speaking hard truths that many men ignore, while others criticised him for seeming to put family second to personal interests.
For now, Kairo’s words remain the talk of the town — with supporters calling it motivation, and critics dismissing it as controversial.
