Why Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness – Banky W

Published

on

Nigerian singer-turned-cleric Banky W has challenged the widely held belief that money is the key to happiness.

In a candid conversation during the latest episode of the ‘Who’s In My House’ podcast hosted by Hawa Magaji, Banky W discussed his transition from a music career to clergy, emphasizing the importance of finding true purpose and fulfillment beyond material wealth.

Drawing attention to the instances of billionaires taking their own lives, Banky W argued that financial prosperity does not guarantee emotional well-being.

He stressed that his personal transformation serves as a testament to the fact that contentment comes from within, and that it cannot be acquired through external factors like money or fame.

Through his journey, Banky W aims to inspire others to seek happiness by discovering their true passions and embracing spirituality.

“I strongly believe that there is a godship void inside of every person. And until you decide to fill the void with God, you can try money, fame, success, women or men, drugs, alcohol… you can try filling it with anything else and you will always come up short,” he said.

“A lot of times, especially when we are young and coming up, we think that it is money that we are chasing. And yes, it’s money because you need a certain major of success to be okay in your life. But if money was the key to happiness, then billionaires would never commit suicide. And I’ve sat across from a billionaire, not in naira, who ended up killing himself. At that time, in my mind, I was like, ‘Mehn, this guy has it made.’

“This is not to judge anybody who has made that decision but it’s a lesson for us all that this thing that you are looking for is not money. That is why the scripture says, ‘What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his own soul.’

“And I think for me, probably back in 2014/2015, I got to a place where in the eyes of the world you look successful but inside you are coming up short.”

CHIVIDO 2024: You’re A Disgrace, Uche Maduagwu Slams Gov Adeleke For Attending Davido’s Wedding

Controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has condemned Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, for neglecting his official duties to attend his nephew, singer Davido’s wedding in Lagos today.

Biztellers reports that Governor Adeleke, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, and former Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, were among the dignitaries present at Davido and Chioma’s lavish wedding on Tuesday.

In a video message shared on his Instagram account, Maduagwu specifically castigated Governor Adeleke for attending a wedding on a workday.

He stated, “On a Tuesday morning, Osun State Governor is leaving his State to attend a wedding in Lagos. We are not ready in this country. Honestly, we are not serious in this country.

“Can you see the MD of Access Bank or Zenith Bank leave their office on a Tuesday morning to attend a wedding? I’ve never done this in my life. On a Tuesday morning, the Chief Executive Officer of Osun, which is one of the poorest states in the South West, is leaving his office to attend a wedding. We are not ready in this country.

“This is a disgrace. A disrespect to the people of Osun State. If any permanent secretary in your state leaves his office to attend a wedding on a workday, would you be happy? And as a leader, you cannot even lead by example. You are attending a wedding in Lagos on a Tuesday afternoon. Will you ever see the Governor of New York or the Governor of Texas on a Tuesday morning going to attend a wedding?”

Maduagwu’s remarks have sparked a debate about the appropriateness of public officials attending personal events during working hours, highlighting concerns over governance and accountability in the country.

Nigerian comedian Bright Okpocha, popularly known as Basketmouth, has subtly criticised singer Wizkid while commending Davido’s wedding for dominating social media.

Basketmouth remarked on the difficulty of promoting his show at the moment, given the overwhelming attention on Davido and Chioma’s wedding.

He pointed out that even Wizkid’s recent social media drama failed to garner significant attention because of the wedding’s prominence.

On Instagram, Basketmouth posted: “Davido’s wedding has taken over the social media space. Except you want us to start using Chivido2024 to promote the show. Which I don’t think will work. Because, even Wizkid wey throw shade, nobody send am.”

Recall, Biztellers reported that Wizkid recently stirred excitement by tweeting “Lol [lots of laughs]” shortly after Davido released his pre-wedding photos with Chioma.
