Nigerian singer-turned-politician, Olubankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, has sparked conversations about family planning after hinting at undergoing a vasectomy.
A vasectomy is a surgical procedure that serves as a permanent form of birth control for men who no longer wish to have children.
On March 30, 2025, while celebrating Mother’s Day, Banky W took to Instagram to honor his wife, Adesuwa Etomi-Wellington. In a heartfelt post, he described her as the “greatest boy-mom of all time” and expressed deep gratitude for their family.
He wrote:
“Susu, you make this look easy and so beautiful. Hazaiah and Hezekiah are blessed to have you, and I am, too. I’m so grateful for our family, and I’m so glad you’re mine. Happy Mothering Day to the greatest boy-mom of all time.”
Banky W went on to emphasize his love for his wife and children but humorously hinted that their family was complete:
“Happy Mothering Day! Vasectomy now loading though. Love our kids. But no more, please LOL.”
While Banky W’s remark about vasectomy was lighthearted, it may also be linked to Adesua’s recent candid revelation about her extremely difficult pregnancies. The actress previously opened up about suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), a severe and debilitating form of morning sickness during her second pregnancy.
Her story followed the tragic case of Jess Cronshaw, a UK woman who died by suicide after struggling with the same condition. Adesua expressed frustration over the lack of awareness and medical support for women battling HG, sharing details of her own struggle.
She wrote:
“From being ill for months with hyperemesis (if you’re going through this, I see you. It’s not in your head. You are as ill as you feel & think you are, and yes, you need help), to being admitted to hospital, to finding out the love of my life needed another surgery to remove a cancerous tumor while being sick and pregnant, to ending up with an emergency C-section because the devil tried it with my life AGAIN, to a harrowing healing process… it was a lot.”
She also expressed gratitude to the doctors in Lagos, Nigeria, and Washington, D.C., who played a crucial role in her survival.
