Veteran nollywood actor and lawyer , Kanayo O Kanayo has made a revelation that he almost committed suicide at some points in his life TheNewsGuru.com reliably gathered.
Kanayo went down memory lane as he flashed back to his childhood experience when still living with his elder brother in Enugu.
The actor made it known that he wanted to commit suicide whilst hawking agidi to end his suffering at the time.
It was gathered that the veteran actor said as he was hawking one night and a strange voice said to him that he should jump into a river from a bridge he was plying at the time.
“I used to hawk Agidi on the streets of Enugu and in one of those dark days, while he was 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.”
The 60-year-old actor said he didn’t do anything bad and had to do menial jobs to make ends meet.
“My brother’s wife, whom I lived with in 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 added that he had to do menial jobs to support his family as he was not born with a silver spoon.
“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 my children don’t go back to where I started from,” Kanayo said.
