Portable has shared a personal account of his early struggles, revealing that he was considered the “Olodo” of his family despite now being the one responsible for their welfare.
During an interview on the Honest Bunch podcast, the controversial singer recounted how financial hardship affected his education. He said he sold sachet water while attending school because he lacked anyone to fund his studies, forcing him to drop out before completing his education.
The Zazu star, who said he remains a student of Kwara Polytechnic, expressed hope that he will one day return to finish his programme.
Portable further explained that while his father paid for the education of his brothers and sisters, he was seen as the family’s “Olodo.” According to him, things have since changed, and he now provides for the same relatives.
“I no finish school, the time wey I dey go school, I sell pure water, I no see anybody to sponsor me. I will still finish school, I be student of Kwara Poly. My papa send my brothers and sisters go school, na me be Olodo but now, na me dey feed all of them,” he said.
