One of Nigeria’s top eligible bachelors, musician Banky W says not every one is destined to get married.

The 35-year-old artiste whose real name is Olubankole Wellington has faced a lot of jokes for remaining single despite his good looks.

Speaking on Thursday night in Lagos during her radio interview, Banky W once again refused to bow to pressure from fans saying, “The same people who would pressurise you to get married are the people who would criticise you when you fail. Oprah Winfrey changed the world but she never got married. It is not the destiny of every single person to get married.”

Banky W had in July spoken to single people not to be under any pressure to get married, as single people do not go about asking older folks “when will be their funeral?”
