So i must waste N500 for transport to mtn,glo,etisalat or airtel shop

if it cant be done online, then it is useless.
who has time foe queuing up these days.

Also, lets say i just loaded 1000 glo and decided to port to airtel, what happens to my credit since airtel may not recognise my recharge?

Exhaust your credit before porting.

of course it makes sense...why would airtel give you N100 airtime when you paid that money to mtn? when you port your line from one network to another, it must be on a clean slate...you cannot be owing them (postpaid) and its your responsibility to make sure you use up your prepaid airtime before requesting the port
