Single Mothers Association Gives Portable Appointment
Controversial singer Portable has added another title to his hall of fame that includes ‘Ika of Africa’, ‘Amuludun’, ‘Federal Government Liability’, ‘Tony Montana of London’, and ‘Police Ambassador’, among others.
On Saturday, he added Godfather to his aforementioned self-acclaimed titles. He was named the Godfather of the Omotosho Single Mothers Association (OSMA).
Single mothers association brings together women raising children without a spouse or partner present in their lives. This could be due to divorce, separation, or never being married to the child’s father.
Portable is married to Bewaji. He’s the father of children with three other women: actress Ashabi Simple, Honey Berry, and another woman (name remains unknown).
Portable was bestowed with the title on 1 June at an event organised by the association (OSMA).
The singer’s appointment has sparked buzz on social media, with waves of amusement and curiosity.
The ‘Zazzu Zeh’ coroner shared the video on his Instagram page, where he was appointed the OSMA Godfather.
In the video, Portable is seen wearing a green cap and a white shirt, similar to OSMA members.
The single mothers said their association is duly registered with chapters across the globe.
“We are in Canada, London, Australia, Dubai, Libya, Cairo (Egypt), and America, among other places. We are single mothers in the Omotosho chapter and appointed Omo Olalomi our Godfather. We shall reap the fruit of our children, and none of our children shall be found wanting.”
The single mothers prayed that the singer’s glory would not fade into darkness.
Portable’s official identity card, issued to him with registration number 7275162, reveals he holds dual roles as godfather and International Governor of the association.
Abandoned children’s father
In the video, Portable declared himself as a father figure to the children of single mothers.
He said: “They have finally appointed me as Godfather of Single Mothers, and these are international. Let their faces show very well in the camera. Don’t you know that single mothers should be witches because of their children?
“Don’t you know that my mother is a witch? I’m the Godfather of single mothers, which means I’m the father of the single mothers’ children.”
The ‘Zazzu Zeh’ crooner appreciated the single mothers for considering him worthy.
The appointment of the 30-year-old singer came weeks after he was granted bail following his arrest for allegedly purchasing an N27 million G-Wagon and failing to pay the remaining balance.
Upon his release from police custody, he ignited social media with a snippet of his upcoming song, ‘Spiderman’, which detailed his arrest by the police.

MultiChoice Nigeria Loses 243,000 DStv, Gotv, Subscribers In Six Months Over Increase In Price
The South African pay-TV operator MultiChoice Group disclosed that its Nigerian unit, MultiChoice Nigeria, lost 243,000 subscribers on its Digital Satellite Television (DStv) and General Entertainment on Television (GOtv) services from April to September this year.
The company revealed these figures in its Interim Financial Results for the period ending 30 September 2024, which were released on Tuesday.
MultiChoice attributed this decline to Nigeria’s high inflation rate, which exceeds 30%, driven by the rising costs of food, electricity, and fuel, causing many customers to disconnect.
In its financial report for March 2024, MultiChoice had earlier reported an 18% subscriber loss in Nigeria.
The company further reported a 566,000-subscriber loss in the Rest of Africa operations over the past six months, with Zambia and Nigeria contributing the largest shares to this decline.
“With the Rest of Africa business having seen a decline of 803k subscribers in 2H FY24, this rate of decline slowed to 566k in 1H FY25,” stated MultiChoice.
The loss included 298,000 in Zambia and 243,000 in Nigeria, while other markets experienced a minor decline.
Extreme inflation and currency instability have negatively impacted the group’s profits, with MultiChoice Group CEO Calvo Mawela commenting, “We are making good progress in addressing the technical insolvency that resulted from non-cash accounting entries at the end of the last financial year.”
Mawela noted that the group’s net equity position is expected to recover by November.
With regard to Zambia’s losses, the company attributed them to extensive power outages caused by drought, leaving some regions with up to 23 hours of daily outages.
The company also cited competition from streaming services and changes in viewer preferences as pressures on its traditional pay-TV model.
To adapt, MultiChoice invested an additional ZAR1.6 billion in its streaming service Showmax, which reported 50% year-over-year growth.
Mawela added, “Showmax strategically positions the business to actively participate in the streaming revolution as it gains momentum across Africa.”
Nollywood actress Sarah Martins has narrated how she became a gold digger.
The actress made this known while reacting to Veekee James’ story of abuse and financial exploitation by her ex-lover.
In a trending post on her Instagram page, Sarah explained that she turned gold digger after her former lover established another woman with her money.
She wrote: “After listening to Veekee James experience in her former relationship, all I can say is, stop overplaying your role in a relationship!
“There was a time I gave my ex 50% of my salary for 6 months and he was giving the money to another woman. He even funded her business from my sweat and the lady got married to someone else months after he funds her business.
“I’m a lover girl and I go hard for people I love but ever since them show me shege on top my kind heart, I no dey give man shishi! With my full chest, I am currently a gold digger!”
