His first paid job was that of digging pit latrines. Nevertheless, upon his graduation from secondary school in 1982, he began his professional career working with Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Aba. He later moved to NTA Enugu and, subsequently, Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS TV).<\/p>\n<p>His journey to becoming a professional actor began when he was 30 years old in 1992 in the movie <em>Living in Bondage, <\/em>where<a href=\"https:\/\/businessday.ng\/uncategorized\/article\/kanayo-o-kanayo-to-launch-mentorship-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> he earned<\/a> \u20a61,500. In the film, Kanayo played Chief Omego, a cult member alongside Kenneth Okonkwo, Ngozi Nwosu, Francis Agu, and Bob-Manuel Udokwu, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Kanayo has made an appearance in more than 100 Nollywood movies, playing different roles and gaining nominations that led to winning the 2006 African Movie Academy Awards in the category of Best Actor. Kanayo&#8217;s earning was not as juicy as it currently is. Many sources have claimed that the actor currently receives from 2 million to 3 million Naira, depending on his role. This makes him one of the highest-earning and <a href=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/the-20-richest-actors-in-nigeria-and-their-net-worths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">richest actors in Nigeria<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even though his net worth has been listed as $2.5 million (over 1 billion Naira) by many sources, others project his net worth to be around $1 million or even less. Still, other sources claim his net worth may be around $3 million or more. Kanayo, on the other hand, has not come out to either accept or denied any claim regarding his net worth.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kanayo O.
