‘Some of us are single and searching but it hasn’t worked out yet’ – Banky W

A new single, ‘Gidi Love‘ has been released by Nigerian R&B singer Banky W and according to him, it is aimed at addressing the constant attacks from all quarters questioning when he would quit bachelorhood.

‘These days, I can’t even post “Good morning” on social media, without someone saying “yes but it will be a better morning WHEN YOU MARRY!,’ Banky said.

In an Instagram message in promotion of the song, Mr Capable expressively explained he would settle down at an appropriate time, refusing to be pressurized into marriage.

‘My fellow Bachelors & Bachelorette For too long we have been teased, harassed and tormented by Society with “When will you marry” and “when is your wedding” ?? It is getting out of hand. U don’t see us going around to old people asking them ” please when is your funeral”? These days, I can’t even post “Good morning” on social media, without someone saying “yes but it will be a better morning WHEN YOU MARRY!” It is with this in mind, that #GidiLove was created,’ he wrote.

‘The song is in defense of all single people in Lagos and all over the world. Some of us are just not ready. Some of us are single and searching but it hasn’t worked out yet. There are others who may just not want to get married at all. The point is that, in the words of the great @youngskales, it’s Nobody’s Business.’

The most eligible bachelor in Lagos (as he called himself in the post) further urged others in his position to shun pressure from the public as no one would bear the consequence of a failed marriage on their behalves.

‘By God’s grace we will get there.. we will settle down with the right person and live happily ever after. But until then, pls leave us alone. Because the same people who are pressuring us and talking us into marriage, are the same people who will mock us and talk ABOUT us if the marriage ends quickly. If it’s party rice you people want, we will give you party rice. And peppered fish. And Ciroc to wash it all down. But leave us and our single status alone,’ he further wrote.
