Hal Robson Kanu Was Born To Nigerian And English Parents RechiAnd Eva

Hal Robson Kanu was raised in Kensington by his Nigerian and English parents, Rechi Kanu and Eva.

His parents lived in Gordon Place, which was behind St Mary Abbots Church. Kanu grew up in Kensington with his family. Rev Ian Leonard Robson, their maternal grandpa, was the Vicar of Kensington for nearly two decades.

In 2018, Robson and his father, Rechi Kanu, cofounded The Turmeric Co. Their idea came from Hal’s paternal grandpa, Tortey Kanu, a Nigerian herbalist.

Kanu spent the majority of his childhood with his grandparents because his parents were usually working. His granddad was a huge football fan who helped the growing star reach heaven’s sports roof. Football scouts first saw the athlete in the youth league, which is where everything started.

In his grandparents’ garden, he and his brother began to play football. If Kensington Palace was included, it was the largest in the area. They spent a lot of time in their garden, which had a private entrance to the palace.

His father was a well-known Nigerian lawyer before becoming a successful business in London. After making the lengthy journey to London, he met Eva. Hal’s family was never poor and always lived a lavish lifestyle.

The football player’s family had a large influence on his personality and career path. A special thanks should be extended to the grandfather who fostered in his grandson a love of football.

Robson Kanu Father Rechi Kanu Is The Cofounder Of the Turmeric Co

In 2018, Robson Kanu and his father, Rechi Kanu, cofounded The Turmeric Co. While Hal was injured, Hal and Rechi concocted a mixture.

Rechi Kanu, his father, is a Nigerian lawyer turned entrepreneur in London. They established The Turmeric Co. to aid with rehabilitation.

His father experimented with several chemicals at their West London house to cope with the inflammation he had after surgery as a teenager. Rechi would give him doses of a turmeric-based combination on a daily basis.

Robson Kanu’s father came up with the idea for the components after researching his family history in Nigeria. Tortey Kanu, Robson’s paternal grandfather, was a herbalist. When Rechi was a child, he died during the Biafran conflicts.

The locals would flock to his granddad for medical treatment.

The former Premier League striker and his father founded the company in the aim of improving players’ performance, recovery, and immunity in order to keep them at the top of their game.

The company’s success is due in large part to Robson-wildly Kanu’s successful career and the determined mindset of his father, Rechi Kanu, who drove their company to new heights.
