Banky W asks aproko people “Is it your single?” as he launches single ‘Gidi Love’

I think we have already mentioned once today that we are Team Banky W, but just in case we didn’t say it loudly enough, here we go again. Banky W is some kind of awesome. His new single Gidi Love and his Instagram post on being single has renewed our love yet again!

It is no secret that the man is suffering serious harassment to go and marry. He can’t drink water and keep the cup without someone asking him when he will marry.

Every non-married person in Nigeria has also felt this pressure. Don’t even get me started on if you are female of a certain age. It must, however, be twice as hard when you’re a good looking celebrity.

Look at this nonsense, for example:

😑😐😏😂😝

Is it fair? Is this life?? 😆 😆 😆

To announce the release of Gidi Love, the Nigerian R&B crooner finally answered the people who won’t let him rest. And even as he speaks, he does so for every single person who has been harassed beyond belief on top of this marriage matter.

This is what Banky W had to say:

My fellow Bachelors & Bachelorette

For too long we have been teased, harassed and tormented by Society with “When will you marry” and “when is your wedding” ?? It is getting out of hand. U don’t see us going around to old people asking them ” please when is your funeral”? These days, I can’t even post “Good morning” on social media, without someone saying “yes but it will be a better morning WHEN YOU MARRY!” It is with this in mind, that #GidiLove was created. The song is in defense of all single people in Lagos and all over the world. Some of us are just not ready. Some of us are single and searching but it hasn’t worked out yet. There are others who may just not want to get married at all. The point is that, in the words of the great @youngskales, it’s Nobody’s Business. By God’s grace we will get there.. we will settle down with the right person and live happily ever after. But until then, pls leave us alone. Because the same people who are pressuring us and talking us into marriage, are the same people who will mock us and talk ABOUT us if the marriage ends quickly.
If it’s party rice you people want, we will give you party rice. And peppered fish. And Ciroc to wash it all down. But leave us and our single status alone. My fellow Single people, waste no time in downloading #GidiLove today. So the next time someone asks u those annoying questions, just smile and play the jam for them.

By Order of the most Eligible Bachelor in Lagos,
Mr W. ??????#TheBankStatements #GidiLove

PS: make sure U go and see the#GidiBlues film in cinemas now, starring@ogidigada.ng & @hauwa_allahbura, directed by @femiodugbemi

Say it, Banky, baby!! Say it! Tell them! He who has ear, let him hear ooo!

Please, if it is because of jollof and chicken, single folk will be only to happy to oblige, just let them BREATHE! Especially when one thinks about the state of most marriages today…anyway, let’s not even go there!

Thank you for telling them!!
