Banky W Thanks Basketmouth For Being There Through His Cancer Battle by Letenwam: 3:42pm On Sep 14, 2018
Nigerian comedian, Basketmouth is a year older today and Banky W took a walk down the memory lane as he celebrated him on his big day.

Banky W who thanked Basketmouth for being a true friend through his cancer battle wrote; 

Almost a year ago, I was recovering from Cancer surgery in the US. It was a trying time for me.. for weeks I could barely move, I had tubes running out of my back draining blood, I was on so many pain meds and even then EVERYthing still hurt like hell. And one day out of the blue, Basketmouth called me to see how I was doing. He knew I was in the US but I hadn't told him about the surgery. We'd been friends for a long time, so when he sensed something was up, I told him what I was dealing with. Now at the time, he was on tour, while also visiting/caring for his family.. but as soon as he heard the details, he insisted on coming to visit me the next day before flying to Texas. He asked if I needed anything and I said no, but he kept insisting that there must be some groceries in Momsie's house that were finished, or something that I needed from the store that he could bring.

He wouldn't take no for an answer so I said okay, pls bring me a bottle of apple juice. My brother got a friend to drive him almost an hour out of their way, and showed up at the front door with like 3 months worth of apple juice. I kid you not. The bottles were MASSIVE. And then he sat with me for a couple hours, before his flight. We talked, he made me laugh, we compared testimonies and war stories, and just spent time catching up. We encouraged each other, and in a period where almost every day was incredibly painful, rough and downright depressing, he was an unexpected ray of sunshine that made me feel so much better.

So today I want to thank him for being my friend especially when I really needed one. Sometimes, that strong person who everyone leans on, needs someone to lean on too. He's one of the most gifted & accomplished entertainers I've ever met.. but more importantly, he's one of the kindest. May God bless you and reward you for all you do for others. May your back never be weary from the loads you bear. May your children be greater than you are. May the rest of your years be the best of your years. May your show at EKO HOTEL ON THE 29TH AND 30TH OF SEPT BE SOLD OUT. Honoured to call you my friend. Happy birthday bro.

Banky W's gratefulness to basketmouth is for being there for him in his times of trouble. I'm thanking him for making me laugh so hard through the years.

As a young boy, I hardly watched Nigerian comedy because it was so boring to me. The day all that changed was when i watched a particular edition basketmouth performed on Night of a thousands Laughs where he said that Marriage is a one channel thing and his friend was reversing his video tape to feel like he was walking out of the marriage.

Today, I have close to 100 videos of him performing on my laptop

Thank you basket, for cracking my ribs through the years. You gained a worthy fan

You're a Legend
