Congrats! Banky W Acquires New Property In Richmond Estate

Last week, popular Nigerian musician and actor, Banky W took to Instagram to share insightful words of advice to Nigerians, he also emphasized on the importance of a name.

He added the good news, that he now has a property with Haven homes. Here is what Banky W said: “What’s in a name? One of my favourite aspects of Nigerian culture is the weight that certain tribes give to the naming of their children.

Naija parents don’t just settle for names that sound good. We actually give our kids “mini prayers” or “prophesies” as names. See, my father’s name is “Bankole”, and it would have been customary for me to inherit the same exact name as him… except that “Bankole” means “help me build my house”; and so when naming me, my parents intentionally added“Olu” which is the Yoruba word for “God”, making my name “Olubankole” or “GOD help me build my house”, so that the prayer would transfer the responsibility for help to God , as opposed to leaving it open ended for just anyone/ circumstances/fate.

That’s why I either prefer to be called “Banky” or “Olubankole”, never “Bankole”. Because it’s God that helps me. I grew up holding on to my name as a prayer point, because I believe in the power of positive confession, and in my mind, owning a home was the surest sign that I had truly become successful.

So, just the act of saying my name, was me LITERALLY saying that God HAD to help me build my house. Home ownership became an obsession; and to all the young folks out there hustling to secure the bag and progress in the world, I recommend that you do the same. I understand the desire to stunt a little bit, but before you buy that fancy luxury car and cop watches and chains… before you hit the strip club and make it rain… before you take the “money phone” picture and pop bottles of champagne… do your absolute best to own the house you live in. Then try and own one more as an investment. Your future kids will thank you. Thank God for answering my prayers, by helping me extend my interests in the real estate sector further.

I need to give a very special shoutout to @thehavenhomes for being the most impressive Real Estate Development firm I have ever dealt with, and for making it possible to work with them on my next property. They construct some of the best buildings this side of the Atlantic. Make sure you look them up & ask about their payment plans. You just might end up as my neighbour on “Wellington lane”. #thebankstatements #havenhomes” The haven homes have attracted at least 10 A-list entertainment personalities in the country, including the company’s brand ambassadors 2 Face Idibia, Tiwa Savage, Ay Makun and Banky W, among others, aand the estate has been nicknamed the ‘Beverly Hills’ of Lagos.

Congratulations to Banky W!
