November 19, 2017 in a star-studded<br />
ceremony, and they welcomed their<br />
first son, Hazaiah, in January 2021.<br />
It appears Banky W is really<br />
enjoying his marriage to Etomi and<br />
has found the secret ingredient to<br />
sustain the union. In a recent interview,<br />
the musician cum politician shared<br />
some nuggets on why he believes<br />
couples do not enjoy their marriages.<br />
The 41-year-old singer shared his<br />
thoughts during a radio programme<br />
together with his wife, Adesua Etomi,<br />
hosted by the Nigerian media<br />
personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, in<br />
the series, the Black Box Interview.<br />
The singer, who was responding<br />
to a question on how he had met his<br />
wife, Adesua, revealed that he wasn’t<br />
able to pay attention to her after they<br />
had met a number of times because<br />
he wasn’t ready to settle down.<br />
He also pointed out that couples<br />
struggled to stay together because<br />
they rushed into marriage when they<br />
were not ready.<br />
He said, “I honestly think that God<br />
blinded my eyes until I was in a place<br />
where I would be working to be the<br />
type of man that would treat his<br />
daughter properly. Until I got to that<br />
place, God didn’t let me see her.<br />
“So I saw her, you know, and I was<br />
like, ‘nice girl, fine girl, okay nice to<br />
meet you,’ and I kept moving. I was in<br />
a different place in my life. And men<br />
know, men always know when we are<br />
ready. And until you’re ready, you’re<br />
not ready.<br />
“And if you’re not ready, it doesn’t<br />
matter how great somebody is, if you<br />
as a man, you’re not ready to settle<br />
down and be dedicated or whatever,<br />
you’re just gonna mess it up or end up<br />
in this miserable situation.<br />
“And that’s why I think today that<br />
marriage has turned into this thing we<br />
endure rather than enjoy.”<br />
Banky W and Adesua got married<br />
over four years ago on 19 November<br />
2017, and in early 2021, they<br />
announced they had a baby boy.<br />
Recently, Adesua, has for the<br />
“<br />
And if you’re not ready, it doesn’t<br />
matter how great somebody is, if<br />
you as a man, you’re not ready to<br />
settle down and be dedicated or<br />
whatever, you’re just gonna mess<br />
it up or end up in this miserable<br />
situation<br />
