Banky W who hosted and
performed at the One Africa
Music Festival in New York last
night shared a photo of the
recognition on Instagram with an
inspirational message…

‘So earlier today, The
President of the Borough
of Brooklyn honoured us
with citation certificates, for
our contributions to our
communities and for our
career accomplishments.
Here’s the thing in life, it’s
important to find your
purpose, and to trust God
and believe in yourself as
you work hard to chase it.
Follow the path that leads
to you fulfilling your
destiny.’

Nigerian R&B singer, Banky W.

I lived in NYC for over 10
YEARS. And at the time,
being on stage at a venue
like the Barclay’s Center, or
being honoured by the City
Of New York, didn’t seem
like something that was
remotely possible.
But I felt like my calling/
destiny was back home in
Africa. I felt like the music
grind I’d started… it just
felt like Lagos was where I
was meant to be. Even
though at the time, my
entire immediate family no
longer lived in Naija and
my parents couldn’t
understand why I’d want to
risk it all to go back there.
It took a while to make the
decision, But I quit my Job
in Engineering, bought a
one way ticket and came
back. And here I am, 7
years later, performing at
and hosting the
#oneafricamusicfest at the
Barclay’s Center being
honoured by Brooklyn…
I share this not to be
arrogant.. but to tell you
that truly, NOTHING is
impossible. You can be all
that you plan to be. If I
could make it, you can too.
Your current position in life
is only temporary. It’s like
The story of Joseph in the
Bible, he had to go all the
way to Prison to make it to
the Palace.. God did it for
me, He can do it for you
too. Who would have
thought that I’d need to go
all the way to Africa to
make it to the ‘top’ of NYC?
Don’t give up on yourself
or your dreams.
Impossible is not fact; it’s
merely an opinion. As my
boy Kingsley once shared
with me, even when it
seems like things are falling
apart, they can still fall into
place. You can make it. I
promise’.
