"I’m Not a Thief, I Do Music for a Living" – Portable Cries Out for Help After Police Declare Him Wanted.

Controversial Nigerian singer Portable, who was declared wanted by the Ogun State Police earlier today over an alleged assault on officials, has taken to social media to plead for help from Nigerians.
In a video, Portable introduced himself and called for support, saying: "I do music for a living. Nigeria, now I need your help. There’s no place like home, but home is full of evil people. Why me? Why only me? Why Nigeria? I have issues in Nigeria. I do music for a living; I am not a thief. I don’t kill people, I don’t harm people, and I wait for my own blessings. Inside my own blessings, I bless others. I don’t make trouble; people look for my trouble."

Since the incident, Portable has displayed erratic behavior. A few days ago, he was spotted in a white garment, lying down in a church, praying. He later took to Instagram to declare himself mentally challenged, revealing that he is currently in a psychiatric home receiving treatment.
Portable’s emotional plea came shortly after the police declared him wanted.

On Monday, a tense confrontation erupted within the chambers of the Lagos State House of Assembly as operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS) clashed with legislative staff. The DSS officials, outfitted in black jackets, helmets, and armed with weapons, engaged in a struggle with the workers at the chamber's entrance, leading to chaos within the House.

This incident follows recent turmoil in the Assembly. On January 13, 2025, Speaker Mudashiru Obasa was removed from his position by a majority of House members amid allegations of misconduct and financial misappropriation. He was replaced by Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda. Despite his removal, Obasa has maintained that he remains the legitimate Speaker, urging that due process be followed for any removal. In response to the ongoing tensions, the Assembly has tightened security measures, requiring all staff and legislative aides to present valid identification for access to the premises. The Lagos State Police Command has also pledged to maintain order, emphasizing their commitment to preventing any breakdown of law and order in the state.

Paraman:
Obi is a very foolish person for asking for this.
Peter obi will never become the president of Nigeria

What he is actually saying is that those involved in or caught dealing in illegal or fake drugs should be decisively dealt with within the confines of the law. Only the shops belonging to those culprits should be marked for closure, rather than closing the entire market and punishing innocent people who are conducting legitimate business.

Most especially in this economy, it will negatively impact the livelihoods of others doing lawful business in the same market.

In summary, close down the shops of those caught in illegal drug activities and deal with them, but do not shut down the entire market. It’s like punishing innocent people for a crime they know nothing about🙂

Summary:

Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, has called for the immediate reopening of markets affected by the closure of the Head Bridge Market in Onitsha, which was shut down due to drug-related activities in a section known as Ogbo Ogwu. While condemning illicit drug trade, Obi emphasized the importance of fairness in law enforcement and urged for transparency during shop inspections, involving store owners in the process. Reflecting on his tenure, he advocated for a balanced approach to public health and economic stability, urging the state government to reconsider the current strategy to minimize hardship on traders.

Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has called for the immediate reopening of markets that were collaterally affected by the closure of the Head Bridge Market in Onitsha.

The market was shut down by regulatory and security agencies due to alleged trading in illegal drugs within a section known as Ogbo Ogwu.

While condemning the sale of illicit drugs, Obi, in a statement on Monday via X, emphasised the need for fairness in the enforcement of the law.

“One unequivocally condemns such illicit drug trading activities and urges the government to take all necessary measures to eradicate the sale of fake items—especially drugs—and legally prosecute the perpetrators for the health and safety of society,” he stated.

“Their continued closure is severely affecting the livelihoods of millions, especially during this difficult period in our country,” Obi wrote”

He also called for transparency in the search of shops, urging authorities to involve store owners during inspections.

“The search should be conducted transparently, with store owners present while their shops are inspected and items removed by the law and due process,” he advised.

Recalling his tenure as Anambra governor, Obi shared his approach to handling similar situations.

“Whenever we encountered public health threats, we addressed them collaboratively and methodically with the relevant agencies. In cases requiring market interventions, we worked closely with regulatory authorities and security agencies, ensuring fairness and due process,” he explained.


He urged the state government to reconsider the current strategy to prevent undue hardship on traders and protect the state’s economy.

“A more balanced and transparent approach will enhance both security and economic stability,” Obi added, emphasising the need to weigh public health measures against their economic impact.

Summary:
The Take It Back (TIB) Movement has condemned an alleged attack on its leader, Omoyele Sowore, and his team during the 2025 Lagos City Marathon. According to TIB, after completing the 10km race, Sowore and his crew were confronted by individuals who claimed their canopy was reserved for government dignitaries. Shortly after, thugs reportedly assaulted them, harassed journalists, and forcibly seized a media crew member’s camera to delete footage of the attack. TIB has demanded the return of the camera, an apology from the marathon organizers, and accountability from the Lagos State Government. As of press time, no official response had been issued.

Yesterday, Sowore posted a video showing a mild drama that occurred during the Lagos State 2025 Marathon between him and Sanwo-Olu’s men. He shared the video on his X handle, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption:

"How occupying a canopy after the Lagos Marathon 10k infuriated some rogue elements who assaulted our crew members and journalists, leading to unprovoked attacks, which led to the seizure of a camera belonging to one of our journalists. They insisted on viewing and deleting all the content because it caught them live attacking our crew in Lagos."

However, Punch newspaper reported today that the Take It Back (TIB) Movement has condemned what it described as a “disgraceful attack” on its leader, Omoyele Sowore, and movement members during Saturday’s Access Bank Lagos City Marathon.

According to a statement issued on Saturday by the Director-General of TIB Global, Sowore and his team participated in the 10km race but were met with violence and harassment at the finish line in Eko Atlantic.

The statement alleged that thugs, reportedly “sponsored by the Lagos State Government,” assaulted Sowore and his team, including members of the press.

"After crossing the finish line, Sowore and his comrades returned to the tents provided for participants, where they sat to address the media, including a Daily Trust reporter who had followed them throughout the race," the statement read.

The movement claimed that some individuals approached them, insisting that the space was designated for “government dignitaries” and that they should vacate the area.

Sowore reportedly questioned this assertion, challenging why non-participants were given priority over those who had completed the race.

A team member assured the coordinators that they would only be there temporarily while waiting for other team members, after which they left.

TIB alleged that about 10 minutes later, a group of thugs launched an unprovoked attack on Sowore, his team, and members of the press.

"The media crew covering the event was not spared, as they were also harassed and assaulted," the statement alleged.

According to TIB, the attackers targeted their equipment, forcibly seizing a camera belonging to a media crew member named Happiness.

"Her camera was forcefully taken in an attempt to delete footage of the attack," the group stated, adding that as of the time of the statement, the camera had not been returned.

In response, TIB demanded immediate action from the Lagos State Government and marathon organizers.

"We demand the immediate return of the stolen camera and footage, as well as a public apology from the marathon organizers for their complicity in this politically motivated aggression," the statement read.

TIB highlighted that Sowore has participated in at least four editions of the Lagos City Marathon and described the attack as an “affront to the principles of sportsmanship.”

As of press time, neither the Lagos State Government nor the organizers of the marathon had responded to the allegations.

Sowore was attacked in Lagos by thugs alongside crew members of his media outfit while participating in the marathon.

The Access Bank Lagos City Marathon is one of Nigeria’s most prestigious road races, attracting elite athletes, casual runners, and government dignitaries.

A viral video has surfaced online showing youths running in panic as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed Ekpoma, Edo State, on Valentine’s night.

Many abandoned their cars in the middle of the road, fleeing on foot to escape the EFCC. The video, recorded at night, captures the voices of a man and a woman behind the camera narrating the chaotic scene, claiming that EFCC operatives were responsible for the raid. Gunshots were also heard during the operation, adding to the tension and confusion.

The incident has sparked outrage on social media, particularly on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), where users have questioned why the EFCC would conduct such an operation at night and in this manner. Some have even compared it to an armed robbery.

Speculations are also circulating, with some users suggesting that the operatives might not be real EFCC officers but impostors or criminals posing as law enforcement agents.

Further reports allege that the EFCC loaded three buses with young men and drove them away as suspects, fueling growing concerns about the nature of the operation.

@ Nlfpmod, what do you think about this banana eating thing?

Caaz:
I recently started eating my boiled yam with the peels.

For real?🤔

It looks like this is going to be a long one. Daddy Freeze just shared a video on his Instagram page featuring 2Baba’s mother, who is calling on Honourable Natasha Osawaru, the Edo State lawmaker, to free her son.

In the video, the woman introduced herself as Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface or 2Baba. She said, "This message is for Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I am calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to release or free my son. My son is going through a divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses. I know my son—this is not him.

Please, Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and on his neck, remove them and free him."

Reacting to the video, Daddy Freeze urged Tuface and Natasha to reach out to Mrs. Idibia and ensure everything is okay at home, as she seems deeply worried.

In a video recently shared by Sahara Reporters, a man wearing a camouflage top and shorts can be seen charging at a police officer, repeatedly hitting him while the officer keeps walking backward. The man continues his assault despite another individual’s attempt to pacify him, but all efforts prove futile.

The person recording the incident can be heard saying, “Nigerian Army?” while shouting indiscriminately.

The cause of this altercation is yet to be ascertained at the time of reporting. However, available information suggests that two police officers have been abducted.

So, what are your thoughts on this? Can you eat a banana without peeling its skin?

Let us know if you have tried this or if you would give it a try! 🙂🙂🙂

A lady has pleaded with people to stop peeling off the outer part of bananas. According to her, many unknowingly discard the most nutritious part of the fruit.

She was seen eating a banana with its peel and explained that it contains antioxidants and provides better satiety. She emphasized that the peel is rich in essential nutrients that can benefit the body.

Encouraging people to rethink their habits, she advised against throwing away banana peels, especially in Nigeria’s current economic situation, where food waste should be minimized.

Her statement has sparked reactions online, with some agreeing with her while others remain skeptical about consuming banana peels.

Tuface get eye sha.. Even Anie sef go support am for this one, the babe to clean.

You really need to be wary of Nigerians when it comes to investigative journalism—especially when they’re determined to gossip about you. They will dig deep and uncover results in no time. Sometimes, it may seem like just an unserious rumor, but you’ll be shocked to discover that there’s a lot of truth to it.

When someone first claimed to have spotted 2Baba and this Natasha lady together at a hotel, many people didn’t take it seriously. Then, when 2Face appeared at the Edo House of Assembly, some still dismissed the dating rumors. But everything changed when Tuface himself came out and confirmed them.

Never underestimate Nigerians’ investigative abilities.

Amen 🙏

Hon. Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, has announced her plan to provide 150 free JAMB registration forms to students from Egor. She also promised that the top five students with the highest scores would receive full scholarships.

Natasha Irobosa Osawaru, who currently serves as the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, shared this in a recently posted video.

Meanwhile, this announcement comes amid rumors of a romantic relationship between her and Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba.

Tuface sparked fresh speculation after hinting at a possible romance with Natasha Osawaru. These rumors surfaced shortly after news broke about his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia. Reports suggest that 2Baba is considering taking his relationship with Osawaru to the next level.

The speculation grew even stronger after he made a surprise appearance at the Edo State House of Assembly during a plenary session on Monday. A video of them together at a nightclub in Lagos also added fuel to the rumors.

On Tuesday, 2Baba addressed the rumors in an Instagram video with the caption: “To Whom It May Kwansighn. #I don yarn my truth. Feel free to continue alleging. We shall all be alright.” He denied that Osawaru had anything to do with his split from Annie.

Who brought this very old news to Nairaland?

Something of 2023? 😲

Now, judge for yourself.
I’ve noticed that many people like to appear informed and "woke" when, in reality, they often lack proper knowledge. A simple Google search could have saved you from this blunder. Next time, do your research properly before commenting—that’s called wisdom.

Summary

Portable clashed with government officials after town planning agents inspected illegal structures in Ibogun and Otta. He mocked and intimidated them, forcing them to leave. When they later returned to serve a notice at his bar, he and his supporters attacked the officials, blocking their escape and assaulting them. The agents managed to find safety in a petrol station until the police arrived. Several suspects were arrested, but Portable is reportedly in hiding. A trending video now shows him in a church, dressed in white, praying.

Recently, officers from the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA) began inspecting developments in the Ibogun and Otta areas to check for proper planning permits and issue notices for illegal structures.

During the operation, the agents were working near Portable’s bar when he recorded a video mocking the officials. He boldly referred to himself as the "town planner" and encouraged his customers to do the same. Confronting the agents, he insisted that no one could plan a town where he lived. His aggressive stance eventually forced the officials to leave for their safety.

Days later, when the agents returned to Portable’s bar, they met his father and explained their mission. They issued a notice for illegal structures and informed him that there was a period within which the family could contest the notice if they had valid documents. His father assured them that Portable was not around but promised to show him the notice upon his return.

However, as the agents were posting the notices, Portable arrived on a motorcycle with a group of supporters. They immediately attacked the government officials. As the agents tried to flee, Portable ordered motorcycle riders to block their path and assault them. He personally slapped and physically attacked the officers.

The agents managed to escape into their vehicle, but Portable gave chase on a motorcycle, attempting to cut off their exit. The officials eventually sought refuge in a petrol station, where bystanders shielded them while they contacted their office. The authorities alerted the police, who quickly arrived and rescued the agents.

According to eyewitnesses, the agents were pelted with stones and beaten by Portable and his gang even as they hid in the petrol station. Following the attack, the police arrested several individuals suspected of involvement and impounded their vehicles.

Portable has a history of clashing with government officials. In 2023, he was arrested and arraigned by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly assaulting police officers.

Currently, Portable is reportedly in hiding, with strong rumors suggesting that he will be arrested and prosecuted once he resurfaces. However, a trending video shows him in a church, dressed in a long white garment, lying on the floor in prayer.
