Kanu Nwankwo Shares Secrets To His Successful Career In New Book
If you don’t remember Kanu Nwankwo from his days playing forward on the Nigerian national team, you will remember him from the famous Peak Milk advert that resonated with millions of Nigerians.
Before retiring, Kanu won a UEFA Champions League medal, a UEFA Cup medal, three FA Cup medals and two African Player of the Year awards amongst others. He is one of few players to have won the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup and an Olympic Gold Medal. He made the third-most substitute appearances in Premier League history, appearing from the bench 118 times, and is regarded as one of the best players in African football history.
Despite his congenital heart defect, which would have altered the careers of many, Kanu pushed through and made a full recovery. In a recently published book, Success Is Not Served A La Carte, Kanu ascribed his full recovery to God and his will-power saying, “I refused to go down no matter what. I kept going up. But not by my power o, it’s God and prayers that sustained me”.
Documenting some of his biggest wins, Azuh Arinze featured Kano in his book, Success Is Not Served A La Carte. The book is an enlightening collection of one on one interview sessions with 30 high-profiled individuals in the country including; Christopher Kolade of Cadbury/LBS, Tony Ezenna of Orange Drugs, Anselm Madubuko of Revival Assembly, Steve Babaeko of X3M Ideas, Footballer and Austin Okocha, Film director, Tade Ogidan, veteran actors, Olu Jacobs, Pete Edochie and Dele Odule, to name a few. The book explores the success stories of these individuals, and also provides key insights into their lives.
