Not to be outdone by his exploits in the music world, Mr W is very accomplished in several other fields: he’s a published writer, as several of his articles and write-ups have been featured in numerous Nigerian Newspapers, blogs, magazines and media platforms. As a philanthropist, he launched the “Banky Wellington Organization (BWO)” through which he spearheads or partners with numerrous charitable and incredibly impactful initiatives.  He launched the “I am Capable” Scholarship Fund, which has provided tuition, room & board assistance for multiple deserving youth over the years in various tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the US, and Canada.
