Nigerian singer Banky W has shared 40 things he loves about his wife, Adesua Etomi, as she turns 40.
In a lengthy post on his Instagram page, he said he loves her faith, beauty, fight, favourite food, flexibility, faith in him, feelings, funny side, how they hold hands, and more.

Though Banky only listed 14 things, he said he will send the rest to her directly because he has run out of space.

“40 at 40
40 Things I love about you…
- Your Faith – the world sees you as a movie star, I know you as a Jesus girl. Your foundation is Christ, and everything else flows from that.
- You’re Fine – Summertime fine. Light up a room fine. Breaking necks-stopping people in their steps-how did I make you mine-fine.
- Your Fight – The enemy swung hard. But you stood firmer. And no weapon fashioned against you shall ever prosper.
- Your Favourite Food – No matter who is getting married to whom, you’re ordering amala, gbegiri and ewedu.
- Your Flexibility – in life and in the other room. Enough said.
- Your Faith in Me – When my journey has beaten me down, your belief has helped me survive severe, stormy weather. And when it has broken me, you helped put me back together.
- You Feel – You feel things deeply. You cry for movies, reels, and strangers. The only thing more beautiful than your face in this entire world… is your heart.
- You’re Funny – People don’t know how much of a tout you really are. You’re hilarious. My sense of humour was already perfect. But you made it better.
- Your Focus – Your dedication to your craft is second to none. Your performances are not loud – they’re layered. Deep. Nuanced. World-class.
- Our Fire – You made me a better lover. You helped me unlearn and re-learn intimacy. I didn’t even know I had a “spot”. You found it. I knew how to be physical. But you taught me how to make love.
- You are fiercely loyal. When people come for me, you’re always ready for war. Half the time, I don’t even want to tell you what someone did because before I know it, you’re ready to tear their shirt. I will now be begging you on the person’s behalf, lol
- The way we hold hands and touch feet right before we fall asleep
- The way you always said you-na instead of “una”
- Hezekiah’s girlfriend. The way he looks at you. The way “mama” is his favourite word and person.
Sending the rest to you directly cuz I’ve run out of space (and because some things are nobody’s business)
40 looks phenomenal on you. Forever looks even better on us”.
