#BLACKBOXINTERVIEW

Banky W and Adesua Etomi or the Wellingtons as they’re famously known are undoubtedly two of the most popular faces in the country. Banky W, a musical icon, entrepreneur and politician kicked off his estimable career many years back while schooling in the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. After graduating, he moved back to Nigeria at the tail-end of the noughties where he quickly established as one of the greatest musical minds the country has ever seen. Adesua Etomi, his wife, has led an equally exemplary career as well. After graduating the University Of Wolverhampton with first-class honours, she also moved back to Nigeria where she distinguished herself as one of the country’s leading actors.
For the first of its kind, the pair join Ebuka in the Blackbox, discussing their individual careers, family, childbirth and much more.

Listening to Susu saying she was from a broken home. That just gave me another insight that not every child that is from a broken home or had a single parent (mum), would turn out bad. Her character is awesome. Kudos to her mum!!❤️

[@jamessmith8049]

Single parenting is hard work. On average, the children might not have even seen two parents being agreeable, living together and compromising.

[@silent781]

Children from broken homes turn out NICE Tbh I know you know a lot of children with both parents that turned out BAD What’s needed is good Parenting not the PARENTS

[@jamessmith8049]

@@silent781 You are nitpicking! I was one on those from a single mum family. Seeing my friend getting picked up by their Dad or whenever Dad shows up in school tug my heart till today. I turned out Ok, what I will never do is allow my family to become a single moma household. I will be dead.

[@adiajildo5960]

susu, you are an amazing person. I have not met you and I dont really know whether I will met you but I really appreciate how you inspire❤❤❤much love queen susu

[@silent781]

That is a myth TBH .. they turn out very good

[@adedejisolafunmi]

I like that both Adesua & Banky do not speak about their experiences with their relatives from a place of bitterness but from a place of understanding & forgiveness. Well-done to everyone on this interview.

[@FuntosCorner]

It's the permission to talk about her having covid for me. Respecting privacy 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I could never interview my friends and have straight conversations like this😂 😂 we’d have branched to one random gists every 2mins😂😂Ebuka the GOAT 🙌🙌🙌

[@abigailifere8055]

I am telling you, and the fact that he's even acting like he didn't knew all the stuffs they were sharing

Ebuka really knows how to get the information out.. He asks some private questions as if it doesn't matter

[@KiRetteCouture]

Lol. When it's in a professional environment, you'll do it.

[@dejidurotimi6589]

I love the individuality and the togetherness existing in the same space with the Wellingtons.

[@KiRetteCouture]

Banky's parents had a real investment mindset. That's such a great lesson for parents coming up today. His mom handled that situation with the teacher very well. Love hearing about women like Adesua's mom. This abuse by relatives ehn. We need to talk about it. Why accept to take in a kid if you can't love them? God bless that woman who showed Banky kindness. Those people were cruel!

[@bryanonyechebe7294]

They really love each other very well...this is a celebrity marriage that is worthy to emulate not those ones that makes marriage looks like a war zone

[@takealookatfashion]

mehn the best part of the interview for me was the moment Ebuka looked over and called out to adesua '' aunty'', and she replied saying, ''Hello''. that part sweet me die😄😄😄

[@aliceajums1470]

Ebuka is an amazing interviewer, he makes you really relax. This interview increase my appreciation for Banky. He is so deep, kind and respectful. And it's good to hear people's story and know where they are coming from. Now I understand Adesua's occasional traits of insecurity and defense. Assuming the role of a caretaker when you should actually be cared for does have its emotional effects.

[@aliceajums1470]

And Banky is so gracious! See the way told the story about being left in the snow! Wow!

[@conversationswithboluwatife]

I tell you this everytime I hear this banky's story about staying out and freezing I still get chills, love love how Adesua holds his hands, it's like saying babe I'm here that phase is over so let's talk about it and laugh about it, well people here you have it not everyone successful today had it easy...I pray God continue to bless the Wellington's ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Alot of people dont know Banky has been working hard since early 2000 i remembered a cd from him when he was in NY dated 2006

[@jasminelanett1]

Amazing interview! I absolutely enjoyed watching this, not surprising because i love Banky and Susu. It’s nice how they shared their past hardships as well as personal experiences on camera and it’s just mind blowing how God made everything work together for their good; both as individuals and as a couple. The part i found most hilarious was Ebuka saying “What a waste” in response to Banky studying civil engineering😂😂. Watching this just emphasizes how crucial it is to make God the center of ones life.

[@isiuwaomorefe584]

Banky’s aunty was wicked. Period. He shouldn’t excuse her by saying he was strange to them. The lady that took him in and gave him coffee when he was locked out was a total stranger to him and him to her. God is wonderful. He can change your story. Its my life’s story too. So i can relate to this couple

[@deserieoware7055]

I agree, like who just goes on a trip and locks their nephew out in the cold like that. Him not being their child is not an excuse. I hope they got their karma because what kind of cruelty is that?

[@adebumitioluwatosin332]
