Top 7 Power Couples In The Nigerian Entertainment Industry

 Bankole & Adesua Etomi-Wellington

Bankole Wellington, popularly known as Banky W, is a Nigerian music artiste and record label owner. He is married to popular actress, Adesua Etomi. While the couple’s marriage is still fairly young, it is arguably the most celebrated in the Nigerian entertainment industry today. Wherever the couple is in attendance, the spotlight is always on them.

Banky W and Adesua got married in November, late last year, in an elaborate event that was tagged “BAAD 2017”. Their wedding was probably the most talked about of any wedding in Nigeria throughout last year. BAAD 2017 was given further publicity by popular movie, Wedding Party, which, interestingly, had Banky W and his wife, Adesua Etomi, as the lead characters (husband and wife).

In the midst of a rather flawless marriage/love life, there exists one obvious blemish: Banky and Adesua’s marriage is yet to produce any kid. This situation has been capitalized on by mischief makers, who have awashed the Nigerian media-scape with several malicious rumours.

In some quarters, it was rumoured that the star actress is infertile. In others, it was alleged that Banky W is impotent. These rumours, however, have no base; they are mere concoctions of mischievous and overzealous bloggers. Hopefully, sooner rather than later, the power couple will welcome their first child.

Olu Jacobs & Joke Silva

“Speak of a successful marriage, speak of Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva”. These two Nollywood veterans have been married for over 30 years. They have been able to weather the storms and their marriage would easily pass as a template for new couples in the industry.

The couple got married at a lavish event in Dubai, UAE, on March 23, 2013. Since then, their love has been growing ever stronger. Their marriage is blessed with two kids.
