Bimbo Ademoye: The 'Wellingtons' reference explained

The reference to the "Wellingtons" is drawn directly from *M30W*, a romantic Nollywood film in which Timini Egbuson played a character named Wellington.

In the film, he and Bimbo Ademoye portrayed a couple, and fans have since hoped their on-screen chemistry would translate into real life. The two actors are close friends in real life, which has only fuelled the shipping further.
