Nigerian music sensation Portable has ignited social media discussions with startling allegations involving Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu and Yoruba Nation agitator Sunday Igboho.
Explosive Claims About Peace Negotiations
In a viral video that has been circulating online since November 22, 2025, the controversial singer made bold statements about financial settlements offered to both separatist leaders. Portable claimed that both men were offered approximately N50 billion as part of peace negotiations with authorities.
The 'Zazu' crooner specifically alleged that while Sunday Igboho accepted the substantial financial offer, Nnamdi Kanu firmly rejected his portion. Translating his words from the viral clip, Portable stated: "Sunday Igboho was offered N50 billion for peace, he collected it. They offered Nnamdi Kanu the same thing, with oil and everything, he rejected it. He said 'death or Biafra.'"
Portable's Personal Stance on Activism
The singer didn't stop at merely reporting the alleged transactions but went further to compare himself with the agitators. He made it clear that his approach would be fundamentally different if faced with similar circumstances.
"My fans, if I am offered money, I will collect it and stop fighting. See how Sunday Igboho is enjoying because he surrendered his fight," Portable declared in the video that has since gone viral across multiple social media platforms.
He offered practical advice to his followers, urging them to prioritize personal interests over national struggles. "Fight for yourself, don't fight for them. Use money to enjoy life and employ securities," the singer added, emphasizing individual financial security over collective political causes.
Broader Context and Previous Controversies
This isn't the first time Portable has weighed in on the Nnamdi Kanu situation. The entertainment news comes against the backdrop of Kanu's recent life imprisonment sentencing, which has generated significant political discourse across Nigeria.
Earlier, Portable had engaged in social media sparring with celebrity bartender Cubana Chief Priest following the socialite's open letter to President Bola Tinubu regarding Kanu's imprisonment. In the viral letter, Chief Priest had warned Tinubu about potential electoral consequences in the South East if Kanu remained incarcerated.
Portable fired back in social media comments, questioning why Cubana Chief Priest didn't confront President Tinubu directly when they met in May. "But you forgot to tell him when you snap a picture. Who tell you say Tinubu go win?" the singer wrote, while also criticizing what he perceived as hypocrisy in collecting money from Seyi Tinubu, the President's son, while issuing political warnings.
Social Media Reactions and Public Response
The video featuring Portable's allegations has generated mixed reactions across social media platforms, with users expressing diverse opinions about the singer's claims.
Some reactions compiled from social media include:
- User godblessed2305 commented: "Illiteracy."
- sakaolawale_ referenced: "Please who remember that TOPE ALABI song...Enu re a ko ba e .... ??"
- loveth_arena noted: "If they arrest this one now, they will start shouting justice for him."
- alexthor65 expressed: "Portable keep talking we listening attentively."
The varied responses highlight the polarizing nature of Portable's statements, with some dismissing them as uninformed while others appear more receptive to his perspective.
Meanwhile, in related entertainment news, Portable's wife Ashabi Simple recently made headlines for expressing how much she misses her husband, sharing a clip of them dancing together in his car to his hit songs and praying for his success.
