A NIGERIAN Lady shared her story in details on how bank w came to her rescue

PHOTO OF BANKY  WITH THE CHILD OF THE NIGERIAN LADY HE HELPED

A Nigerian lady who works as a content editor has revealed how singer Banky W saved her from hitting rock bottom. According to Mary her entire life was in shambles with no place for her to live or means to feed but Banky sacrificed money and time for her. 

 Mary shared the details on social media, thanking the star for his kind heart. In her story she was pregnant, heart broken and homeless when she called on Banky and he was there for her. 

Mary who is a content editor and positivist shared the inspiring story with a photo of her daughter with Banky W at the shopping mall.

She said: "So today this happened. On the surface it might look like an ordinary celebrity /child-of-starstruck-parent photo opp but there is a deeper story here.

 About 8 years ago, while about 6 months pregnant with this little girl here, I fell onto terribly hard times. 

I have chronicled most of it on my social media platforms but to summarise it, I was abandoned by my child’s father, lost my house, was kicked out unceremoniously from my job at MTV for no reason, and to crown it all, diagnosed HIV positive.

 Shortly after that, my then best friend, with whom I was staying, decided she had had enough so I was given an eviction notice. 

Long story short, I began to reach out to my friends and acquaintances to try to pick up the pieces, get a place to stay, deliver safely and move on.

 Suffice it to say that practically none of my celebrity ‘friends’ ever came through. These were people who would call me non-stop when I was in MTV but suddenly, I was invisible. The only people that did were this man, @bankywellington, and @funlolafar. 

(Funlola I don’t consider a friend but a sister, or worst case my cousin anyway.) What was funny is that both of them had no knowledge of the situation I was in. I think this will be the first time Banky will be hearing of it. 

I just told him I was trying to raise money for a place, I think. In those days @bankywellington had not even come close to being as successful as he is now. 

Yet the next morning, before 7am, he had driven from his place in Lekki, to my house in Magodo with cash for me. And as usual, a hug.
