He is smooth and handsome, but beyond these qualities, he has a large-heart. Banky W has joined forces with rapper, Ice Prince alongside ace photographer, Kelechi Amadi-Obi and Nollywood actor, Femi Ogedebge to hand admission letters and scholarships to 10 young people for a 2 months course in graphic designing at a creative institution in Lagos last week.
The event which was held at Nandos in GRA, Ikeja was organized by Abinibi Creative Academy, a growing institution driven with a bid to develop and raise world class talents in graphic and digital arts.
According to Banky, “I believe an idle man is the devil’s workshop and so I see this as a move to keep these young people busy with something positive and profitable”. He also used the medium to call on other celebrities to support any activity that will change the lives of people in our society.
In a chat with photographer Kelechi Amadi-Obi, he said “everybody knows the world is now a global village and all the activities therein are programmed by internet professionals and I believe Nigeria can birth same, so we should support and encourage our youths for they are the leaders of tomorrow
Abinibi Creative Academy is spearheaded by James Alabi - a zestful young man who believes that Nigeria has loads of gifted young people who need to know how and where to develop their talents. He appreciated all the celebrities who came out to sponsor the students saying “they did well by paying the fees of the beneficiaries in full. ACA is equipped with professional tutors who will impart the needed knowledge into these students and they will come out to ‘transform’ the world with their acquired skills”
