- Car enthusiast and entrepreneur Khalif Kairo has told men to prioritise themselves over their wives and children.
- In an Instagram post, he argued that self-neglect leads to weakness, depression, and manipulation.
- His advice has triggered mixed reactions online, with some men agreeing and others criticising him.
Kairo, who is known for his bold opinions, shared a strongly worded message on Instagram urging men to put their health, wealth, and discipline first before family responsibilities.
“Life experience has taught me that you need to put yourself first as a man. Not your kids, not your wife. Prioritise yourself and guard your energy. The world is very cruel to men who fail or lose focus,” he stated.
According to Kairo, true leadership in the family can only be achieved when a man is strong, stable, and self-disciplined. He outlined four key areas men should prioritise:
Physical health – Regular workouts to stay strong.
Financial stability – Building wealth and independence.
Spiritual well-being – Maintaining a relationship with God.
Self-mastery – Exercising discipline and controlling sexual urges.
“As a man, stay very strong. Have a good relationship with God, work out, have your money in order, train yourself to be an alpha and disciplined, and tame your sexual desires,” he advised.
Kairo further cautioned that men who fail to build themselves first risk falling into vulnerability.
“Weak men are easily manipulated; weak men end up depressed; weak men do not survive,” he warned.
The post has since gone viral, sparking debate across social media. Many men resonated with his tough-love message, while critics accused him of downplaying the importance of family sacrifice.
Whether seen as empowering or controversial, Kairo’s message has opened up a conversation about masculinity, responsibility, and the balance between self-prioritisation and family leadership.
