Most times in life, musicians and artists seems to see beyond our present horizon thus writing songs of things that will make you ask certain questions like, "Is he a prophet", how come everything he said in his song is coming to pass.
This same scenario has just played out in the lives of musician and CEO of Empire Mates Entertainment #EME, Bankole Wellington popularly known as and called BankyW and actress Adesua Etomi.
To Kemi Adetiba who screenplayed and directed this movie that premiered during Toronto International Film Festival #TIFF last year September and went ahead to achieve a box office record, I say thank you for being the Matchmaker in real life as you tried to portray one of your characters in the movie #TheWeddingParty.
Whoever did the casting of this movie that matched BankyW to be the groom and Adesua to be the bride, you deserve a big handshake, in fact you will perform the wedding toast on that day, its your thank you gift, Kemi Adetiba should be the Wedding planner now in real life because she is now a prophet and have achieved being a matchmaker in real life as she tried to portray one of her characters and finally AY should be the wedding MC as he was in the movie.
