The Wedding Party 2 team are currently enjoying themselves while hard at work in Dubai shooting the film.
Photos and videos of them in the United Arab Emirates capital have been showing up on social media in recent times.
Many people cannot wait to see the film after Nollywood veteran, Patience Ozokwor was added to the lineup of cast.
Seeing what this has the potential to mean for the āmarriageā between Banky W and Adesua Etomi, I put a call through to Banky W. And as I feared, wahala is already happening.
Our conversation is below:
ME: Mister Capable. How far? This is āSegun Odejimi. I know you donāt have my number.
BANKY W: Yeah. Been asking around for it. I read the interview you did with Susu. She told me about it and I was initially skeptical but it turned out great. Thank you bro.
ME: Donāt mention. I live for you guys.
BANKY W: Wow! Thatās cool of you to say. Susu and I will ensure you get a seat in front at our wedding.
ME: You donāt have to do that. I donāt like being in public eye. But I actually wasnāt referring to just you and Adesua. I live for the whole Nollywood community.
BANKY W: I see. All the same. You have to attend our wedding. [sudden sadness in voice] Thatās if it happensā¦
ME: Why? Youāre tired of Adesua already? Or is Don Jazzy guilt tripping you for leaving the Nigerian Bachelors Society just like that?
BANKY W: Nah. Itās Patience Ozokwor.
ME: How?
BANKY W: You know she has been added by the producers of The Wedding Party 2 and sheās actually supposed to play my motherās elder sister.
ME: Ohā¦ She will be Ireti Doyleās elder sister in the film?
BANKY W: Yeah. In the film, sheās supposed to try to disrupt my marriage with Adesua. She is going to try to do her best to put us asunder. You know she has played the horrible mother-in-law part in movies for long.
ME: True, Banky. True.
BANKY W: I mean, sheās killing the role in the film but the problem is that she seems to be taking the role really literally and bringing it into the real world. Anytime she sees Susu and I, she runs from wherever she is and comes to pull us apart as if it is a fight she is separating. The other day, Susu and I were enjoying ourselves in our hotel pool, she was supposed to be learning her lines with RMD. Immediately she saw us, she left RMD, pushed her way towards the pool screaming and pulled Adesua by her hair.
ME: Ah!!!
BANKY W: You remember how Adesua screamed in The Wedding Party when she noticed her wedding gown had torn
ME: Yeah!
BANKY W: Thatās exactly how she screamed.
ME: Wawu!
BANKY W: Iām afraid Madam Patience will sabotage our marriageā¦
ME: Wait! When are you guys planning the wedding to be?
BANKY W: No, Iām not telling you yet.
ME: And you donāt want to tell the world?
BANKY W: Not yet.
ME: Letās talk about the proposal for a moment. Why did you spell ordinary āMARRYā incorrectly? So, when your kids are looking at the proposal photo, they will see that their father cannot spell ordinary MARRY?
BANKY W: Donāt mind Ebuka. He was the one I asked to put the flowers and candles in the room in preparation for the proposal. Heās the one who made the mistake.
ME: So Ebuka does not know how to spell?
BANKY W: Of course, he does. But yāknow, sometimes, these things happen.
ME: Of course, they do. Is Don Jazzy officially the new head of that you peopleās Nigerian bachelors society to which you used to belong?
BANKY W: Yes. But heās leaving that post very soon.
ME: Really?
BANKY W: Yes.
ME: For who? Linda Ikeji finally stole his heart?
BANKY W: Not her.
ME: Genevieve Nnaji?
BANKY W: Not her.
ME: Who then?
BANKY W: Cossy.
ME: Sir? You say?
BANKY W: Cossy Orjiakor
