I Am A Student Of Kwara Poly – Portable Opens Up On Why He Didn’t Finish School

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has disclosed the difficulties he experienced during his childhood.

Portable revealed that he hawked sachet water to pay his way through school without any sponsor and is now responsible for supporting his family despite once being regarded as the “olodo” in the house.

Naija News reports that the controversial singer made the revelation during an appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast in a clip published as a YouTube Shorts video by Glitch Africa Studios on Monday.

He reflected on his early struggles, family dynamics and determination to complete his education.

Portable explained that he was unable to complete his formal education at the time because he had to fend for himself.

“I no finish school; the time wey I dey go school, I sell pure water, I no see anybody to sponsor me,” he said.

The singer, however, expressed optimism about returning to school, saying, “I will still finish school, I be student of Kwara Poly.”

Portable also spoke about his family, claiming that while his father sponsored the education of his siblings, he was left to cater for himself and was considered the dull one.

“My papa send my brothers and sisters go school, na me be Olodo but now, na me dey feed all of them,” he stated.
