Veteran Nollywood actor cum lawyer Kanayo O Kanayo has opened up about his childhood ambitions and how he has successfully been able to see it come to pass in his life.
The delectable thespian was engaged in an interview with BBC Igbo where he spoke at length about his journey into the law school and the obstacles he had to overcome.
In his own words, “It’s not easy o! If you say it is, then have a go at it. About 2500 of us were examined. 700 failed. It’s no secret; it’s in the books. Law schools don’t discern between the rich and the poor,”
“You can’t influence results. Up to three people mark a script. So you can’t say you failed because an examiner hates you. You’re expected to attend 75 percent of the lectures Make even 74.99 percent and you’re out. In my set, five people died. There was this young man who read on January first until he collapsed and died. Our exams started on January 10.
“It’s been a long time since I decided I wanted to become a lawyer. It’s that thing I wanted to study but I was given Philosophy at the University of Lagos,”
“I decided that before I enter my grave, I must become a lawyer. Well, it has happened. It has been my intention and it’s what I want to be. What we do in Nollywood is also about speaking.
