In a recent interview with Vanguard, Kanayo said: “I used to hawk Agidi on the streets of Enugu and in one of those dark days, while crossing Abakpa Bridge to hawk Agidi, he looked into the deep water when a voice urged him to jump into the water and end his suffering.

““I was a small boy carrying this heavy thing on my head. But I did not listen to that voice and luckily for me, I finished selling all agidi.”

“My brother’s wife, whom I lived within those days in Enugu, did not want to know your age; she would give me dozens of agidi on my head, and God save me if I returned home with some unsold items with the kind of beating I would receive that day.

“If you are familiar with Enugu State, I used to hawk agidi from New Haven to Abakpa, a long distance.” He narrated.

He added that since he was not born with a silver spoon like other kids, he had to go through thick and thin to be successful.

“I have gone through the thick and thin of life. I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth. But I want to make sure that children don’t go back to where I started from,” Kanayo said
