In a post on his Instagram page, the actor advised that while it is acceptable to adopt certain positive aspects of Western culture, Africans should not lose their traditions, religion, and identity in the process.

“It’s ok to copy a few positive ways from Oyibo culture.
But we must never lose our African identity in the process.
We must never lose our African tradition or African religion.
Our identity is our power.
Be proudly and unapologetically African,” he wrote.

On his social media accounts, Dr. Farouk suggested that men who financially support women tend to experience greater monetary success. He argued that giving money to women is closely tied to receiving blessings and growing one’s wealth.

He wrote, “Men who provide money to women often see their fortunes increase. Many are now earning millions because they invest in women. Women are truly blessings from God.”

In another post, he reinforced his perspective, explaining that ever since he started giving money to women consistently, he has noticed steady positive outcomes and blessings in his own life.

“Since I started giving women money at every opportunity I get, blessings have been following me left, right, and center. Men, if you want to be rich, you must give women money. Women are born to receive, while men are born to give, so give today so you can receive. Women are blessings. Take it from me,” he added.
