Nigerian social media users were taken aback by a recent post by controversial singer Portable, also known as Habeeb Okikiola, in which he shared a conversation with Fuji artist Pasuma Alabi Wonder.
The singer, who has had his share of public turmoil, appears to have turned a new leaf following his victory over the Ogun State government. In his post, Portable shared a heartfelt exchange with Pasuma, where he requested the veteran singer take him to Mecca so he could offer thanks to God. Pasuma, who has supported Portable in the past by praying for him during difficult times, expressed willingness to help.
Portable’s post sparked a variety of reactions from his followers, many of whom were caught off guard by his newfound focus on spiritual matters. In the post, he also asked his fans to stop calling him “wahala,” as he is no longer interested in causing trouble and is now focusing on making money.
Here are some of the reactions from his fans:
