Kanayo in a movie acting as a ritualist
In a recent town hall meeting, iconic Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo debunked the myth that money can be made through rituals and killing people.
He emphasized the importance of genuine hard work in making money. Kanayo, known for his roles as a ritualist in Nollywood, was a guest speaker at Ikenga Onlines November 2023 Town Hall Meeting on the topic Rituals, Riches, and Realities: The Myths of Money-Making and the Dignity of Labour.
He highlighted the shift in scams over the years, mentioning the old ˜Yahoo trend of writing letters and promising utopian deals. According to Kanayo, todays trend involves extreme acts like killing someone, eating their heart, and washing it down with Hennessy, all in the belief that it will bring wealth.
The veteran actor firmly stated, I cant see any connection between that and making money. Money is made through hard work.
Sharing his personal experience, Kanayo mentioned laying the foundation of his house in 2015 and making a compromise in 2016 when Globacom signed him for a nationwide campaign.
He joked about sacrificing a new Range Rover for the sake of completing his house, emphasizing the importance of making compromises through hard work.
Since his debut as a ritualist in the 1992 movie ˜Living in Bondage, Kanayo O Kanayo has consistently spoken out against the act, challenging false narratives surrounding rituals and money-making. (The Guardian)
