Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O. Kanayo recently penned
down his nostalgic feelings for the past, when people had different outlook
about life. The talented actor recalled the year 1985, when 'no one cared much
about ethnic and religious belongings'. Read on!
"Throw back to 1985 in Enugu, Kanayo O. Kanayo in the state
of nature, when the falcon could hear the falconer . Then you could walk into a
shop, and the owner is not in sight, you pick up the things you need and keep
the money on the table. About the same year I visited Gembu in the present day
Taraba State, then in Gongola State, no one cared much about ethnic, religious
belongings.
Music was philosophical in its renditions and futuristic in
outlook. Eg Fela’s 49 seating 99 standing, suffering and smiling". I
am not advocating we go back to those years of yore BUT a people are nothing
when they lose all their values and culture."
