Kanu Nwankwo has now opened up on the death of his mother, Mrs. Susan Kanu Iheme who passed away on the 7th of September. Opening up after her passing to papilonews.com, Kanu had this to say:
“The
loss of Mama is hard to bear. She is a rock that stood by me and all my
siblings. She showed us equal love and affection, and always prayed for
each and every one of us. Her support and prayers for me right from the
beginning of my playing career till the end were invaluable. Her
guidance also went a very long way into moulding me into the man I am
today. She taught me to love, and to give. I will miss her, but God
knows best.”
