Fast-rising Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, has stirred reactions by distributing food items to the needy. The controversial singer shared a video on his Instagram showing him giving out noodles, spaghetti, and other foodstuffs to the poor.
This gesture comes shortly after he faced significant backlash on social media for criticizing endbadgovernance protesters, labeling them as poor and lazy. He commented that their lack of employment was driving the nationwide protests and urged them to advocate for themselves. His charitable act has not fully redeemed his image, especially given the recent controversy.
Portable’s charity work is not new. Last April, he celebrated his wife’s birthday by giving cash to people on the streets. Similarly, on his own birthday last year, he distributed money and food items. In his video, Portable reflected on his journey, expressing uncertainty about where he is headed but trusting that setbacks are opportunities to rise. He vowed to keep striving until he succeeds and promised that his future self would astonish people.
