In recent times, fans and supporters of Nigerian singer Bankole Wellington aka Banky W have been nurturing the idea that the entertainer is now an ordained clergyman.

He, however, had a lot of clarifications to make on the matter in a recent interview with Legit NG’s Abisola Alawode.

Setting the record straight on misconceptions that he is now a pastor, the music star pointed out how people in the world - especially Nigerians - have an obsession with titles and are always quick to label others.

Banky gave an example of how people are quick to name an individual an 'honourable’ simply because such a person expresses an interest in running for office.

He likened the scenario to his situation and stated that he has mostly considered himself as a teacher or minister rather than embracing the title of a pastor. According to him, it is more important for his preachings to do the work and positively impact the lives of people.

Banky made it clear that he isn’t obsessed with titles, adding that he has never gone for any pastoral ordination ceremony.

The singer made reference to how his spiritual leader, Pastor Tony Rapu, once made a joke about how people said he has ordained him.
