Nigerian singer, actor, and politician Banky W has shared how his relationship with wife Adesua Etomi-Wellington began, revealing that he first approached her with a simple request for friendship before realizing she was the woman he wanted to marry.

According to Banky W, his early attempts to pursue a romantic relationship did not immediately succeed. Rather than force things, he decided to take a different approach by asking Adesua to simply be his friend.
Recalling the moment, he said, “When I met my wife, I asked her to be my friend but we became close and I knew she was the one.”
He explained that friendship allowed them to know each other deeply without pressure. Through conversations, shared values, and mutual respect, their connection gradually became stronger.
Adesua also noted that while they became close, she wanted to be certain about the relationship and sought personal clarity before moving forward.
