Banky W and Adesua Etomi
Despite being one of Nigeria’s most famous couples, Banky W admits that he didn’t pay attention to b the first couple of times he saw her. In an Instagram essay, he wrote:
“We crossed paths 2 or 3 times since 2012, but I wasn’t paying enough attention. Destiny was staring me right in the face and I was too caught up in my own hustle and paper chase, to know it. In June 2015 however, God brought you my way again, and this time, I really SAW you. I was smitten by your grace, aura, and beauty. So smitten infact, that even though I didn’t get to say a word to you that day (because you were seated far across the room), I immediately called my best friend @captdemuren and told him I’d found my next girlfriend.”
Mr Eazi and Temi Otedola
Mr. Eazi has been dating actress Temi Otedola for quite some time. But here’s an interesting fact: Temi thought Mr. Eazi was a jerk when they first met. She described the encounter as follows:
‘Someone had told me “I’m gonna go do something in the club, I brought my friend here so just make sure he’s okay, give him drinks, he came on his own.” Me being someone who likes to be friendly to strangers I was like “Heyyy do you live in London? Can I get you a drink? What have you been up to?” I was just on my usual cute, let’s be nice, let’s meet people vibes. And I was like this guy is an asshole like why is he being so rude?”

“He was chasing me all over Facebook and everything. No seriously, cause when I was still doing gospel music, he used to listen to my songs. He sent me messages on Facebook, that’s how he reached out to me. I didn’t know him at the time, I didn’t respond.
First time I ever saw him I was supposed to do a show at Bogobiri and he said “I’m going to be there”, I said “Oh sure” and then he actually came and I was like who is this skinny boy (laughs)
That’s the first time I ever met him, then over the years we were friends, and then…”
