Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has criticized actress Iyabo Ojo for commending single mothers.
In a video that has since gone viral, Portable verbally attacked Ojo, claiming she is not in a position to advise the younger generation on matters of marriage.
He further suggested that single mothers are prone to promiscuity and may have children with multiple partners.
“Which advice do you even want to give to the younger ones getting married? That they should be giving birth for different men? One child for one man, three children for three different men?” he asked.

Nigerian music star, Davido has cautioned individuals who are trying to live or move exactly like him, stressing that people should focus on building their own paths instead of copying others.
The singer stated that many people admire the lifestyle and success they see on the surface without understanding the sacrifices, challenges and unique circumstances behind it.
According to Davido, “everyone has a different journey and should avoid measuring their lives against those of celebrities or public figures.”
His remarks have since generated reactions on social media, with many fans agreeing that success comes from authenticity, consistency and hard work rather than imitation.
The Afrobeats star, who recently described himself as being in his “crown era,” has continued to encourage young people to remain focused on their goals and create their own identity rather than trying to replicate someone else’s lifestyle.
Social media reaction to Davido’s tweet…
@BigTimi01: “Davido is right. Many people see the lifestyle but don’t know the sacrifices behind the success.”
@AdaLuxury_: “Not everybody can move like Davido. Build your own path and stop living through celebrities.”
@30BG_Forever: “Facts only. Social media shows the results, not the process.”
@KingMide_: “Some people want Davido’s lifestyle but not Davido’s work ethic.”
@Chi_Collections: “The best advice is to focus on your own journey. Comparison is the thief of joy.”
@IamKelechi_: “A lot of people copy the spending habits of celebrities and end up in debt. Wise words from Davido.”
@RealEhis_: “Everyone’s story is different. What worked for Davido may not work for the next person.”
@QueenNenye_: “This is one of the most realistic things Davido has said. Know your lane and grow at your pace.”
Nigerian rapper, Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has stated that travelling abroad and getting exposure made him realise how far behind Nigeria is in terms of development compared to other countries.
The music star said Nigeria is “hectic”, adding that he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life living in Nigeria.
He, however, admitted that the Nigerian society motivates him to work harder.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Zeze Millz Show, Blaqbonez said he wished Nigeria was better as a country.
He said, “Nigeria is hectic, but it is still home. When you go to other countries, you will realise how far we are from where we should be. But the vibe and energy are still there. There is a hustle spirit that comes with being Nigerian. I really wish the country was better.”
Blaqbonez added, “I don’t want to spend the rest of my life living in Nigeria. I don’t think that there is any successful person who wants to live in Nigeria after retirement. Maybe there are some people. But the way I picture my retirement is living in a big ranch and raising some animals. That is not a thing that is in Nigeria.”
