Veteran Nollywood icon Kanayo O. Kanayo, famously dubbed “Nnanyi Sacrifice”, is once again trending online after dropping a cryptic, ritual-themed video on his Instagram page. The legendary actor, known for his deep association with occultic and sacrifice roles in classic Nollywood films, shared a spooky clip featuring himself and a fellow actor clad in black-and-white regalia. The duo chanted and danced in a dim, red-and-black room that instantly evoked scenes straight out of a traditional Nollywood sacrifice ritual.
Captioning the video, Kanayo wrote:
“Unto say June is for Sacrifices. Sacrifices must be made. Nnanyi Sacrifice says so.”
The post immediately ignited buzz, with fans flooding the comment section—some laughing at the iconic throwback to his legendary film roles, others speculating whether it’s a teaser for a new movie or a symbolic way to usher in the new month.
Regardless of his motive, Kanayo has once again reminded everyone why his name remains synonymous with sacrifice in Nollywood culture.
