Nigerian Twitter was flooded with portrait shots of lawyers who had just been called to the Nigerian Bar after successfully completing the rigorous study and examinations. One portrait went viral because it came as a surprise to many and a motivation to never give up on one’s dreams.
It was the portrait of Kanayo O. Kanayo, the veteran Nollywood actor who shared his pictures on social media announcing his call to the Nigerian Bar. While many fans and colleagues in the movie industry sent him congratulatory messages, one statement that was in every single post was that “it is never too late to achieve your dreams”.
Kanayo O. Kanayo attained this feat at the age of 58 and serves as an encouragement to all those who have a dream but feel like they are too old to achieve it. Kanayo enrolled with the University of Abuja and in 2019 graduated with a Law degree before proceeding to the Nigerian Law School’s Abuja campus.
Congratulations to KOK on this laudable achievement. We look forward to him making a positive mark in the legal system as he has done in the entertainment industry for over 3 decades.
