Nigerian entertainer and politician Bankole Wellington, also known as Banky W has announced a successful surgery amidst an ongoing cancer tumour battle.
The musician had announced in 2017 that he was battling cancer, posting on his Instagram handle back then about his third surgery.
He wrote; “For those who’ve been wondering why I’ve been away (for) so long, I had my third surgery on a rare strain of skin cancer tumours in my shoulder last month. The first two times were over 10 years ago, then it recently resurfaced. But this isn’t a sad story as much as it is a reminder and a testimony.
“A reminder that you should never take life for granted. You only get one shot. Some people went to sleep and never woke up. Many others have lost the battle to cancer and other illnesses. Many are still fighting. You never know when your time will be up. So, don’t waste another minute.
“It’s also a testimony about the goodness of God. I think I had to go through this again to remember how merciful God is to me. Lord knows I don’t deserve it, but He saves me time and again, anyway. I keep saying I need to write a book. I do”, he said.
However, having had a successful surgery again, he took to his social media handle, appreciating the support of his fans and friends.
Bank W’s video included his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, around him while he was whisked around the hospital.
He wrote the caption which preceded the video thus; “Christ 4 – Cancer Tumors 0
Sometimes, your faith in God will not prevent the storms from coming… but it will carry you through them. Faith won’t always stop you from hurting, but it will help you heal, and it will help you deal.

God never said the weapons wouldn’t form, He promised that they wouldn’t prosper. He never said the enemy wouldn’t come… He promised that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of God would raise a standard against him.
Posting this testimony to encourage anyone out there who is going through a challenge. It might seem bigger than you, but greater is He that is in you than anything you will face in this world.
Grateful for my wife, family, friends, and Pastors for their love, prayers, and support. Thanking God for my health and trusting that this latest victory is final in Jesus’ name.
Appreciating the gifted hands and minds of my doctors, Dr. Onyewu of the Center for Advanced Specialty Surgery, and Dr. Adenuga of Euracare and the teams that support them.
We have the victory yet again. Now and forever, in Jesus’ name.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” – Romans 8:28
