Banky W
Over the past weekend, two ladies at a grocery store in the Lagos Island, filmed popular R&B singer, Banky Wellington while leaving the store. The ladies mocked and rained insults at him over the old vehicle he was driving which they thought was not suitable for someone in his class.
Few days later, the ‘Wedding Party’ actor, has responded to the cringe worthy, creepy video shared by the ladies and revealed that the vehicle was in fact not a 1999 model but a 2008 own and it was currently on sale to the highest bidder.
The singer noted that he still drove a 2008 model SUV because he decided to get a smaller vehicle and remained adamant at getting a nicer model until he got a house of his own.
In a lengthy piece titled, "Dear Stalker", the singer who disclosed that he doesn’t drive more than one car, added that he is putting the old car for sale to help fund a needy charity home in Lagos.
Below is his epic reply in full;

"Dear Stalker,
In response to the cringe worthy, creepy video you made about my wife and I, I think there are some things you need to know. First of all, poverty will never be my portion in Jesus name. Also, it is a 2008 Range Rover Sport not a 1999. Amen and Lol. Oh, and additionally, it’s currently for sale to the highest bidder. I had decided last month that I’d sell it, and whatever I got for it, I’d hand over to the “Vocational School for the Blind” in Oshodi and the “Pink Oak Cancer Trust Fund”.
My Aunt volunteers at the school, and she reminded me that they were still trying to raise some money to care for their students, so I came up with a plan. I told her that I’d give my followers the background history of my old car, and get all my celebrity friends who’d sat in it at some point or another to autograph it, and then put it up for an online auction. I figured that since I didn’t need the money from the sale to buy a new one, we could just auction it off and hopefully raise a decent enough amount of money to give back to those in need.
You see, I’ve never found it necessary to own more than one car. Mostly because I can only ever DRIVE one car at a time; and when I bought the car in 2011, I promised myself that I would never buy another car, until I owned the home I live in. To me, owning a nice car might help me LOOK like I was doing okay, but owning a nice home would help me KNOW. The way my mind is set up…what good is owning a Rolls Royce, if I’m still paying rent on the house I park it in?
Over the years, as my car went from being kind-of-trendy to being just
