Banky W has unexpectedly responded to the ladies who threw jabs at him a few days over his car.
It is no longer news that Banky W was dragged on social media a few days ago after two yet to be unidentified ladies threw jabs at him over the state of his car. He took to his blog where he gave a very lengthy response as to the reason he still drives the said old Range Rover.
“Dear Stalker, In response to the cringe-worthy, creepy video you made about my wife and I, I think there are some things you need to know. First of all, poverty will never be my portion in Jesus name. Also, it is a 2008 Range Rover Sport, not a 1999. Amen and Lol. Oh, and additionally, itās currently for sale to the highest bidder. I had decided last month that Iād sell it, and whatever I got for it, Iād hand over to the āVocational School for the Blindā in Oshodi and the āPink Oak Cancer Trust Fundā.
“My Aunt volunteers at the school, and she reminded me that they were still trying to raise some money to care for their students, so I came up with a plan. I told her that Iād give my followers the background history of my old car, and get all my celebrity friends whoād sat in it at some point or another to autograph it, and then put it up for an online auction. I figured that since I didnāt need the money from the sale to buy a new one, we could just auction it off and hopefully raise a decent enough amount of money to give back to those in need.
“You see, Iāve never found it necessary to own more than one car. Mostly because I can only ever DRIVE one car at a time; and when I bought the car in 2011, I promised myself that I would never buy another car until I owned the home I live in. To me, owning a nice car might help me LOOK like I was doing okay, but owning a nice home would help me KNOW. The way my mind is set upā¦what good is owning a Rolls Royce, if Iām still paying rent on the house I park it in?
“Over the years, as my car went from being kind-of-trendy to being just plain old, people around would occasionally wonder out loud about when I would finally buy a nicer one; Iād just smile and say to myself ānot until I own my houseā. I eventually did buy an additional much smaller car (a Kia), but that was only because I wanted to use it on āUberā, so my driver could earn extra bonus money for himself and us, in his free time. I wonder how shocked and horrified you would have been if youād seen me driving that smaller car instead (which, by the way, I do drive, occasionally).
“You might be happy to know that Iāve now FINALLY ordered a newer, nicer, personal car, and my wife has too. We paid for them a month ago, but we will probably never show them to you, because we donāt want you to stalk us again, but also because thatās not really any of your business ā much like my old Range Rover wasnāt. The cars we are getting are relatively new this year, but the way my mind is set up, we will probably drive them for as long as possible, until we have stashed away enough money for our future kidsā complete University Education, and until we have secured a hell of a lot more real estate for them to inherit. Iām not sure how long that will takeā¦Iām just grateful that my wifeās mind is set up a lot more like mine, than yours.
“With that being said, dear stalker, since youāve taken it upon yourself to help me advertise my old car, I just thought itās only fair to let you know that itās available for sale and that you can be its next proud owner, should you decide to bid on it. Youād be bidding on a piece of Nigerian Pop Culture history, because the car will come complete with a portrait of my wife and I, and the car & portrait will be autographed by every celebrity friend that I can get to. Everyoneā¦ from Wizkid to Tiwa Savage, from 2Baba to Toke Makinwaā¦ from Ebuka to Kemi Adetibaā¦ everyone has been in that car, and Iām gonna try and get them to sign it. More importantly though, if you buy it, youāll be helping me raise money for the āVocational School For the Blindā and for the āPink Oak Cancer Trust Fundā.
“See, thereās a difference between you and I. You look down on people because of what YOU THINK they can or canāt afford. You clearly believe that a manās worth should be measured by the car he chooses to driveā¦ but I think differently. You would actually look down on the very same people that Iāve looked up to for years. Warren Buffet drives a Cadillac he bought about 7 years ago. Mark Zuckerberg drives an Acura valued at about $30k. Alice Walton (the worldās wealthiest woman) drives a Ford F150. Ikeaās founder, Ingvar Kamprad, drove a 1993 Volvo for over 20 years until someone convinced him that driving at 91 was too dangerous ā oh, and he probably doesnāt know the way to the Gucci store, because he buys most of his clothes from the flea market. Google them. All of them drive āoldā cars. But all of them are billionaires whoāve built up their fortune while giving back to society and building up the people around them.
“I believe that true greatness and success shouldnāt just be measured by what you are able to getā¦ but also by what you are able to give. While driving my very-old car the last few years, Iāve spent a lot of my time giving to the people around me and giving back to society to the best of my ability. The fact that youāre able to spend time mocking and stalking me outside a grocery store, says a lot more about you than it does about me. Iām just out here minding my business, building my homes and my fortune, while also trying to build up as many people as possible. You should consider doing the same. Sincerely,~ B.W. #TheBankStatements.”Ā he concluded.
