Popular singer, Banky Wellington has come out to write about his current life after relocating abroad. He recently flaunted himself cooking, sweeping the house and taking food to his wife, Adesua Etomi-Wellington, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his wife did the heavy lifting in birthing their child, so he is now doing his part by caring for her and the kids while also working and taking his graduate classes.
His words, “Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home.
I’m also doing my part in the world – as I earn my Master’s in Policy Management at Georgetown University, I’m keen on advocating for working mothers everywhere.
When we uplift our women, we uplift our world. Gentlemen, kindly do the needful.”
WOW.
