Popular actor, Kanayo O Kanayo was in the news on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 when he was called to the bar.
TheNewsGuru recalls that Kanayo had studied Law at the University of Abuja before proceeding to the Nigerian Law School
In a recent chat, Kanayo opened up on his reason for becoming a lawyer.
“I have always wanted to be a lawyer. When in 1994, the University of Lagos offered me admission to study Philosophy, I wasn’t happy because it was Law I wanted. However, what I have been doing on TV over the years is what a lawyer does in court. To be a voice for the voiceless and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. In the world of make-believe, we dramatise injustice and show to people those who perpetrate injustice. And in the course of doing that, people learn. However, now I have another platform to fight for the truth, equity and fairness”, he told Punch.
Asked the aspect of law he intends to focus on, he said:”I intend to practise law though I cannot divulge which area of practice I would go into. I didn’t study Law to stay at home. I did it to serve humanity and I can do that in several areas. But, some people (erroneously) think that when one reads Law, one must appear in court every day.”
