“I’ve just been unlucky with marriage’ – Banky W

Nigerian singer Banky W, who claimed he
has been quite unlucky about marriage,
revealed that Nigerians are only about the
wedding but do not care about the
relationship of the two individual persons.
”First of all, I disagree with the statement
that I have been linked to a few women in
the industry. one or two maybe. Two at the
most. Secondly, I think that unfortunately,
in Africa, we are obsessed with just
marriage, we are actually more obsessed
with the ceremony than with the
relationship.
People just want to come to the ceremony,
eat rice, take selfies and just end up on
Bellnaija and lindaikeji. Nobody cares if the
two people getting married are ready to get
married, committed to each other and
spend their lives together, and I think that
this is one of the most important decision
that you can make as an adult.
Something that can either make or break
you. So, while all of my friends are getting
married, I am very content to play my very
professional groom to man/bestman role
for all of them until I find the person I
want to spend the rest of my life with. So,
whenever that happens, I am very OK.
“I’ve just been unlucky, there has been a
few times when I’ve tried but it hasn’t
worked out, there have been times when I
wasn’t ready, maybe the person was.
This thing is a very individual journey. It is
not the easiest thing for two separate
people living separate lives to be on the
exact page all the time. Until You find some
person and you are on the same page,
that’s when you get married. I’m confident
that God would provide a wife for me in
the near future.
“In terms of what I look for in a woman,
beauty, cos I have to be attracted to her,
the love of God, the love of family, love of
friends, sense of humour, some attraction
to music, you don’t need to know how to
cook, I’ll do the cooking and most
importantly, is having a woman who has a
career plan and career goals for herself
that is separate from me because I think its
good for myself and my partner to have
our own individual goals while we
challenge each other to strive for it to
become better.”
