Controversial Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola, who goes by the stage name Portable, has recently expressed that he has learned much more from his experiences on the streets than he has from sitting in a classroom. This statement comes amidst a recent incident where police officers stormed his apartment to arrest him, after he had reportedly declined earlier invitations to come to the station.
Portable, who has been known for his controversial music and actions, gained attention when a video circulated online showing him resisting arrest and even dragging the police officers who came to apprehend him. In the video, he could be heard proclaiming that he was a "federal Government liability" and that he worked with the ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Despite these recent events, Portable seemed undeterred and even took to social media to share a photo of himself, accompanied by a caption in which he praised himself for his resilience and described himself as "smarter" than his detractors. He went on to declare that he had learned much more from his time on the streets than he ever had in a classroom, and ended his post with several messages of inspiration and hope.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Portable's music continues to resonate with many of his fans, and his recent statement about the value of street experience versus traditional education has sparked debate and discussion online.
