For anyone who's ever suffered through a loss, a disappointment or a situation where things just didn't work out the way you hoped... "Faith after a Fall" is for you. For me. For all of us. Please watch this and share if you feel compelled. The full message is on my YouTube page.

Faith gives you the courage, resilience and power to redefine endings. What many may see as the finish line of a journey can become the starting point of the next chapter of your story. The past few years have been a stretching season for my family and I. I learned that you can't pour from an empty cup, and so sometimes, it is necessary to step off the dance floor and onto the balcony... to reflect on how far you have come, who you are, and who you would like to become. Because success in life and leadership isn't just about a specific destination or the journey to get there, but about who you become along the way. 

I am thankful to share that I have just earned my Master’s degree in Policy Management (some institutions call it an MPA - Master’s of Public Administration). 

I'm grateful to have been able to study at one of the greatest schools on the planet for Public Policy - @georgetownmccourtschool @georgetownuniversity 
I'm even more grateful that we welcomed our 2nd child - Hezekiah Oluwadarasimi Wellington into the world in the middle of earning this degree in Washington DC.

Parenting 2 children in the US, while earning a full-time Master's and serving as a Fellow on Capitol Hill all at the same time was completely exhausting, but by the grace of God, the strength of faith and the support of family, friends and mentors, we did it!

So as I prepare to step off the balcony and return to the dance floor, I hope you take this as a sign that it's never too late to dream a new dream, or redefine the ending of an existing one. 

Sincerely,
- Banky Wellington 
Master of Policy Management (MPM)

PS: Susu deserves her own complimentary Honorary Policy Master's for going through these past couple of years with me. I couldn't have survived without her. I told her I enjoyed it so much that I am thinking about earning a PhD next. She said she hopes my next wife will support me on that 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 Lolll let me make some money first. We will come back to this PhD matter 😋😁

Fireside chats are my favorite kind of speaking engagements... especially with young people. I get to have an intimate conversation with a group of brilliant minds. We listen and we learn... we inspire and engage. We give and we grow. 

Thank you to the amazing students at Duke University who got together and made this possible. I had the most incredible time hanging out with them. I hope they were blessed because I certainly was. 

Special thanks to @duke.africa @fuqua_bia @duke_sanford @dukeglobalbaton @duke.gpsg @duke_intlstudentcenter for collaborating to make this happen. 

And special shoutout to @lolajames001 and her squad for working tirelessly to arrange it. 

This conversation and these college students will always remain near and dear to my heart. If you were there, please comment so I can spot you. And if you weren't, maybe I should come to your school next.

We support the “Reserved Seats for Women” bill which aims to reserve an additional number of seats exclusively for women to contest in the National and State Houses of Assembly. 

According to the World Economic Forum’s 2023 Gender Gap Report, Nigeria ranks 125th out of 146 countries in gender parity—behind Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and even countries like Iraq. That’s not just embarrassing. It’s unacceptable. We can—and must—do better.

Passing this bill will change everything. It will send a powerful message to every Nigerian girl: You belong in the room where decisions are made. It will bring more voices, more lived experiences, and more wisdom to the table. It will unlock Nigeria’s full potential—not just for growth, but for justice, innovation, and sustainability.

Susu, you make this look easy and so beautiful. Hazaiah and Hezekiah are blessed to have you, and I am too. 
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

 I'm so grateful for our family, and I'm so glad you're mine. Happy Mothering Day to the greatest boy-mom of all time.

Love you Shuga. If I could do it all again, I'd find you sooner.

Sometimes, you have to "get off the dance floor and onto the balcony." That's what the past year has been for me. 

It was my opportunity to a step back and reflect on my journey, take stock of how far I've come, figure out where I want to go, and who I'd like to be when I get there - wherever "there" is. 

Because I've learned that it's really not about a destination or the journey, but who you become along the way. 

And honestly? I like who I'm becoming. 

I don't have it all figured out, and that's okay. I'll just love deeply, live boldly, and work hard. And keep putting one foot in front of the other, walking by faith.

And when I eventually get to the top of any mountain, I will plant His flag, not my own. 

Because it's always been by His grace, through my faith. 

Happy birthday, kiddo. You're alright.

Say something encouraging to the birthday boy!!! Also, send dollars. 😁🙌🏽🤣💯❤️🥳🥳🥳🥳

The truth is... people change. We evolve into different versions of ourselves over time. 

And the prayer is that as you and your partner evolve over the years, you'll be just as into each other as you were when you first met. 

Susu, Year 8 has been our best year yet. 

I've watched you grow. 
Can't wait for the world to see you shine. 
No matter what the future holds,
I'm yours, and you're mine. 

Happy birthday, baby. 
I'll be by your side until you're 80. 
Then, we'll have to negotiate with God about eternity.

Thank you for seeing who I was before I became him. 
Thank you for choosing me, 7 years and counting. 
Thank you for being my heart and building our home and family,
I love you now, always and eternally. 

Happy 7th Anniversary, baby.
Truly, madly, deeply. 

- Bubba 

PS: The first time I heard this song, I thought of you and the world we are creating for our boys. I was always a bit nervous about becoming a husband and a father, but you make it easy. I'm a better man because you chose me. I'm a greater man because you love me. We don't have it all figured out, but we don't need to - because we've got each other and we've got Christ at the center. In Jesus' name, nothing will ever break our 3-fold cord. Here's to the next 43 years or more, until eternity and beyond.

If only they knew... 

Where God brought us from. Where we are now. Where He's taking us, and what He's making of us. 

I'm so grateful for the journey and for my brother that's gone through every mountain high and valley low with me.

Happy birthday to the Captain, the CEO, the businessman, the manager, the pilot, the one and only @captdemuren. You are one in a million and I'm grateful for you. More grace, favour, peace and prosperity in Jesus name.

Love you bro. Always and forever.
