One of the reasons I studied law was to be able to combine the two fields of law and entertainment, and I believe I am on the right track.

“There are a lot of lawyers in the country, but not all of them work in the entertainment sector,” she says. Being in the entertainment sector and a lawyer gives me a distinct advantage.

The actor also used the occasion to establish the ‘Kanayo O Kanayo Foundation.’
The birthday boy’s two ‘triumphant’ entry, both dressed in all-white clothes, were among the event’s highlights. Kanayo wore a bowler hat in his first ‘appearance,’ while a traditional red cap used by Igboland chiefs in his second appearance.
In a session moderated by famed comedian Ayo Makun, aka AY, he was later joined on stage by his children to cut the birthday cake.
