Nigerian singer and Nollywood actor Banky W recently bagged a Master’s Degree in Policy Management from Georgetown University in the US.

The socialite with real name, Bankole Wellington, took to his official Instagram page to announce the great news with his numerous fans.

The singer, actor and politician accompanied the photos with a lengthy caption where he shared his journey to getting the Master’s Degree and how tough it was juggling it with other activities in his life. He wrote in part:

“The past few years have been a stretching season for my family and I. I learned that you can't pour from an empty cup, and so sometimes, it is necessary to step off the dance floor and onto the balcony... to reflect on how far you have come, who you are, and who you would like to become. Because success in life and leadership isn't just about a specific destination or the journey to get there, but about who you become along the way.

I am thankful to share that I have just earned my Master’s degree in Policy Management (some institutions call it an MPA - Master’s of Public Administration).”

Banky W, Adesua Etomi welcome 2nd child

Also in the post, Banky W announced that he and his wife Adesua Etomi had welcomed their second child. According to the music star, their child is named Hezekiah Oluwadarasimi Wellington.

He said:

“I'm even more grateful that we welcomed our 2nd child - Hezekiah Oluwadarasimi Wellington into the world in the middle of earning this degree in Washington DC.

Parenting 2 children in the US, while earning a full-time Master's and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill all at the same time was completely exhausting, but by the grace of God, the strength of faith and the support of family, friends and mentors, we did it!

So as I prepare to step off the balcony and return to the dance floor, I hope you take this as a sign that it's never too late to dream a new dream, or redefine the ending of an existing one.”

Banky W also gave a special mention to his wife, Adesua Etomi, for her support during his schooling journey. See his post below:
