Nigerian singer, actor, and politician Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has marked a major academic and personal milestone by earning a master’s degree in policy management from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

In a heartfelt post shared on Instagram on May 20, 2025, Banky W reflected on what he called a “stretching season” for himself and his family. He credited faith, resilience, and the unwavering support of loved ones for carrying him through the demanding journey of juggling fatherhood, full-time graduate studies, and public service.

“Faith gives you the courage, resilience and power to redefine endings. What many may see as the finish line of a journey can become the starting point of the next chapter of your story,” he wrote.

Banky W expressed pride and gratitude at completing his degree at Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy, describing it as one of the best institutions in the world for public policy education.

“I’m grateful to have been able to study at one of the greatest schools on the planet for Public Policy… I have just earned my Master’s degree in Policy Management (some institutions call it an MPA – Master’s of Public Administration).”

He also revealed the joyous news that he and his wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, welcomed their second child, Hezekiah Oluwadarasimi Wellington, during his studies in the U.S. Balancing graduate school, parenting two children, and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill, Banky W admitted the journey was exhausting but rewarding.

“Parenting 2 children in the US, while earning a full-time Master’s and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill all at the same time was completely exhausting, but by the grace of God, the strength of faith and the support of family, friends and mentors, we did it!”

Banky W closed his message with a word of encouragement to dreamers and late bloomers, reminding them that it’s never too late to pursue a new path or redefine success.

“So as I prepare to step off the balcony and return to the dance floor, I hope you take this as a sign that it’s never too late to dream a new dream, or redefine the ending of an existing one.”

The announcement has drawn praise from fans, fellow artists, and political figures alike, who have applauded Banky W’s commitment to education, service, and family—a powerful example of what it means to lead with purpose and passion.

Nigerian singer Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, announced the birth of their second baby boy with his wife, actress Adesua Etomi.

He shared the news with fans on October 30, 2024, through his verified Instagram account.

Earlier, on October 14, Adesua broke the internet by sharing pregnancy photos on her Instagram, announcing they were expecting their second child.

Banky W and Adesua, who tied the knot in 2017, welcomed their first child, Haziah Wellington, in January 2021.

In a new video circulating online, Banky W opened up about how he’s balancing responsibilities after the arrival of their baby boy.

Currently pursuing his master’s degree at Georgetown University, Banky W shared his perspective on marriage, describing it not as a 50-50 split but as a true partnership.

He acknowledged Adesua’s strength in carrying their child for nine months and expressed his commitment to supporting her.

He went on to say that he has taken on roles such as chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework helper, and even masseuse, all to support Adesua as she adjusts to life with their newborn.

In his words; “Partnership is 100-100, not 50-50. That means that in this season, I’ve been a chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework teacher, masseuse, and more all as part of my duty as a supportive husband and present father of two 😁🥰🫶🏽.

And honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home. I’m also doing my part in the world – as I earn my Master’s in Policy Management at Georgetown University, I’m keen on advocating for working mothers everywhere.

When we uplift our women, we uplift our world. Gentlemen, kindly do the needful 😊🙏🏽🙌🏽🫶🏽.”

Nigerian singer and rapper Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, recently rebuked a social media critic who credited Burna Boy with reviving his career.

The debate kicked off when a user labelled Skales’ career as “dead,” suggesting that its revival was due to Burna Boy’s involvement in the 2017 remix of Skales’ hit track, Temper. The remix, which featured Burna Boy, gained notable attention and was nominated for Best Collaboration at the 2018 Headies Awards.

The critic’s comment read, “This is the more reason why everyone hates you mf. Burnaboy was part of the people that helped your dead career,” Skales quickly countered this claim, stating that while he respects Burna Boy, his success was self-made and driven by his fans and faith, not by Burna Boy or any other individual.

Taking to the social media platform X, Skales clarified: “I’ll defend myself always. I love Burna but don’t ever say he helped me. No one helped me! Only my fans and God’s grace. The collab was mutually beneficial; if it wasn’t, we wouldn’t still perform it separately.”

Listen I will defend myself always … I love Burna but don’t you ever say he helped me … no one helped me! Only my fans and God’s grace .. we do collabo wey all of us benefit from .. if the thing no benefit us we no go Dey perform for our different sets … pic.twitter.com/pbaSF2UMvA

— SKALES (@youngskales) October 27, 2024

This incident follows another recent dispute where Skales denied that Wizkid played a pivotal role in his success. Instead, he credited other artists who genuinely supported his journey.

Ask am make him tell una how … got respect for him but he dint help me … if anything Banky deserves the praise and respect for believing in teenagers https://t.co/2seexiwwtO

— SKALES (@youngskales) October 28, 2024

Skales, who began writing rap songs in 2000, has collaborated with notable artists such as Akon, Banky W, and Falz. Last year, he also spoke about his struggles after leaving Empire Mates Entertainment (EME), the label run by Banky W, as he worked to establish himself independently in the Nigerian music industry.

Popular musician and politician Banky W recently shared his thoughts on the relationship between money and happiness, recounting an encounter with a billionaire who ultimately took his own life.

In a recent interview, the singer and father emphasized that money is not the key to true happiness. Banky W explained that everyone has an internal void that can only be filled by God. He asserted that attempts to fill this void with money, women, alcohol, or other material pursuits will never lead to lasting satisfaction.

While acknowledging that a certain amount of money is necessary for a comfortable life, he argued that wealth alone does not guarantee happiness.

To illustrate his point, Banky W recounted his experience of sitting across from a billionaire, whose wealth was not in naira, who eventually ended his own life.

He questioned why so many billionaires choose to end their lives if money truly brought happiness, showcasing his belief that fulfillment comes from a deeper source than financial success.

"If money was the key to happiness, then billionaires will never commit suicid3"

Nigerian music sensation Davido has contributed to the ongoing discussion surrounding Afrobeats and R&B, offering insights into the nuanced distinctions between the two genres.

In a resurfaced video, Davido articulated his perspective on the matter, highlighting the differences between R&B and Afrobeats.

He acknowledged notable R&B artists like Johnny Drille, Chike, and Banky W, noting that some of his own tracks align with the R&B genre. Contrary to common misconceptions, Davido clarified that Afrobeats is not a distinct style of music but rather a term used to categorize African musicians.

Davido emphasized the cultural significance embedded within Afrobeats, underscoring its roots in African musical traditions.

He also discussed the evolving nature of Afrobeats, citing examples such as Odumodublvck, an African hip-hop artist primarily known for drill music but still classified under the Afrobeats genre.

Additionally, Davido attributed the original sound of Afrobeats to the legendary Fela Kuti, tracing its origins back to his pioneering contributions.

As Afrobeats continues to garner global recognition, Davido’s remarks shed light on the genre’s dynamic evolution and enduring cultural relevance.
