@_AswiajuLerry Na people like Portable fit handle Nigerian Police. Police wey dey harass everybody, e reach Portable turn na him dey harass them
@_theladymo Portable said if police want to invite him, they should invite him with money. You wan see superstar, you no wan pay
@Mbahdeyforyou If we get like 3 of Portable for this country so many police for dun resign
@_oluwaseun9 Portable say “Yahoo boy carry police come arrest musician” Nollywood no do reach like this
@DanielRegha Portable’s acts may seem entertaining but his behavior is seriously disturbing; That’s n¤t normal. Olamide & his circle of friends should check up on him ASAP. He needs to see a psychiatrist or, better still, go to therapy. I sincerely hope he gets some help. No offense.
@PoojaMedia We need Portable on Nedu’s podcast. Make he scatter small things
@VALKlNG Portable go enter studio go cook new song with this experience. Y’all ain’t ready.
@EjikeIbeh Portable is a mentally rugged guy, he got this ability to voice out when he feels like being cheated or oppressed and that’s what many of us lack , we lack that courage to boldly come up to say NO and shout till people hear our cry. Don’t know why people want to see him fall .
@Yemihazan Police go harass portable, instead na portable come dey harass police, internalized werey is very much needed as a Lagosian
@Capt_Leviii As much as I hate to admit it. Portable is right in this case. If there’s a petition against him, why not invite him instead of coming guns ablazing to disrupt his business. It even has long-lasting effects cause people will avoid the place due to fear of police raids.
