Banky W, a well-known musician and politician, shares insights on why wealth doesn’t guarantee happiness, recounting an encounter he had with a despondent billionaire. In a recent interview, the singer and father of one discussed the relationship between money and happiness.
He emphasized that every individual harbors a void that only God can fulfill, and whatever substitutes are used to fill that void—whether it be money, relationships, alcohol, etc.—will never lead to true contentment.
Banky W reiterated that while money is essential for a comfortable life, it doesn’t guarantee happiness.
He questioned why many billionaires still struggle with despair if wealth truly brings happiness. Expanding on his point, he shared an experience of encountering a billionaire (not in naira) who tragically took his own life.
