Reflecting on his own journey to success, Kanayo shared a personal anecdote about the construction of his hometown mansion.
He revealed that he accomplished this feat without resorting to any form of sacrifice. Instead, he attributed his achievement to an unexpected windfall that came from a commercial partnership with Globacom, helmed by renowned business magnate Mike Adenuga.
Recalling the experience, Kanayo disclosed, “The money was huge. It involved performances in many cities, but sometimes they count 10 cities and pay us upfront, even before we start visiting those cities.

So, I made a lot of money and built my house. I can say I made a sacrifice to build that house because, at that time, I had the option of buying a brand new 2015 Range Rover.”

Kanayo’s message serves as a poignant reminder to the youth of Nigeria that genuine prosperity is earned through perseverance, skill, and determination.
