Portable Apologizes for Slapping Pastor, Blames Past Trauma
Controversial Nigerian street-pop artist, Portable, has publicly apologized after being seen in a viral video slapping a pastor who had come to preach at his bar.
The incident sparked outrage online, with many netizens and religious figures criticizing the singer’s actions and calling for accountability.
In a video posted early Monday morning, Portable addressed the situation and expressed remorse, attributing his reaction to previous traumatic experiences.
He explained that he initially believed the pastor was there with malicious intent, possibly to harm him spiritually, which led him to react in such a manner.
Reflecting on the incident, the artist acknowledged his mistake, stating that had he known the preacher was genuine, he never would have acted so aggressively.
Portable, who has had a history of controversies, admitted that his past experiences have shaped his outlook, especially incidents that involved his sister being harmed through similar deceptive tactics.
While appealing for forgiveness from both God and the public, he stressed that he is also a person of faith, even though he is not without flaws.
“I’m human, and like everyone else, I’m not perfect,” he said in the video, adding that his upbringing as an orphan has made him particularly sensitive to certain situations.
He called for understanding from his fans and community, reiterating that he didn’t intend to disrespect the church or the pastor, and emphasized that street life often comes with complex challenges.
Nigerian singer Spyro speaks on his values, morals, and how he applies them to his work.
He shared that when shooting music videos, he does not tolerate certain things because they do not align with his beliefs.
“You can’t be in a video with me and you’re smoking. That can’t happen. You can’t be in a video with me and you’re naked. That won’t happen. I have rules and regulations for working with people.
“I can’t be on a song that is not clean, to start with. Shoday, give your life to Christ. I said, ‘Shoday, give your life to Christ.’ He said I should continue mine while he focuses on his. Even if he’s not with Christ, he’s coming to Christ. That’s why I’m in this industry. It’s a gradual process.”
Babcock University makes headlines as it speaks regarding content creator Carter Efe, who claimed that he studied at the school and graduated with a first-class degree.
When asked for proof, he shared a certificate that stated “First Class Upper.” However, the university has now spoken out, stating that the certificate is not from the school and is forged.
“Babcock University does not issue ‘Honorary Certificates’ in recognition of undergraduate academic performance. Academic excellence, including the award of First Class Honours, is formally recognized only through the University’s official degree certificate and academic transcript issued by the Office of the Registrar.”
“There is no academic classification or degree known to Babcock University as ‘First Class Upper.’ The recognized classification is First Class Honours.”
