Popular Nigerian singer, actor, and politician Banky W (real name Olubankole Wellington) has just made a major life move , one rooted in love, growth, and purpose.

In a heartfelt post shared on his official Instagram page, the EME boss announced that he and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington, alongside their son, have relocated to the United States.

Banky revealed he has enrolled in a Master’s degree program in Policy Management at the prestigious Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. A move that signals his continued evolution from entertainer to nation builder.

In his words:

“For family. For finding purpose.
For the next year of earning a Master’s degree in Policy Management at Georgetown University in Washington DC.
Wish us well.”

The accompanying photo showed the beautiful trio, Banky, Adesua, and their son at the airport, looking ready for their next adventure.

In a sweet response, Adesua wrote in the comments:

“Home is wherever you are.”

Talk about relationship goals and intentional living.

Banky W is no stranger to reinvention. From ruling the charts with hits like “Yes/No”, to building EME into one of Nigeria’s most influential music labels (home to Wizkid and Skales at their early peak), to acting in box office hits like “The Wedding Party” and even contesting for a seat in the House of Representatives , he’s shown time and again that he’s more than just a musician.

His decision to pursue a degree in Policy Management shows a deeper commitment to shaping Nigeria’s future  through knowledge, leadership, and service.

The announcement was met with massive support from fans and fellow celebrities. From words of encouragement to prayers for safe travels and success, it’s clear the Wellingtons are moving with the full love of their tribe.

Many praised Banky for prioritizing education, family, and purpose at this stage of his life.

While many chase fame, some choose legacy.
Banky W is walking a path that blends passion, public service, and personal growth and we’re rooting for him every step of the way.

As he starts this academic journey, we say:
Naija is proud. Go represent us well, sir.
