Portable Declares He’s ‘More Important to Nigeria’ Amid Legal Troubles

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has stirred reactions once again with his latest social media posts.

Amid his ongoing legal battle with the Ogun State government, Portable took to Instagram to share photos from what he described as his “hideout,” boldly declaring that he is more important to Nigeria than his enemies.

In a series of posts on his Instagram page and story, the Zazuu crooner expressed his resilience, emphasizing that pain only makes him stronger while prayer elevates him.

"Zazuu. Pain makes me stronger, prayer makes me bigger. Life goes on. God never dies. I believe in Eledumare."

"I am more important to Nigeria than my enemy."

"Nobody can fall me. Omo Olohun."

Opinion: Drama or Determination?

Portable’s defiant stance is nothing new—he has built a reputation for controversy, often making headlines for his legal troubles, outbursts, and public feuds. However, his latest claim of being more important to Nigeria than his enemies raises eyebrows.

While his fanbase remains loyal, critics argue that Portable’s antics often overshadow his talent. Others see his resilience as a testament to his street survival mentality, refusing to be silenced despite facing legal battles.

Is Portable simply stirring controversy for attention, or does he genuinely believe in his own importance to Nigeria’s music industry? One thing is certain—whether loved or criticized, he always finds a way to stay in the spotlight.
