I’m Not With Portable For Money – Actress, Ashabi Simple Speaks

Popular singer, Habeeb Okiki aka Portable’s fiancée, Akinyanju Omobolarinde, aka Ashabi, has talked about their love.

Ashabi who is an actress, has said contrary to what people think, she is not with the ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner for his money.

Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, she said, “He (Portable) has done many things for me but what stands out the most is the care and support he gives me. I am not here for the material things.

“I have produced movies and made my millions before meeting him. I have been a self-sponsored student even before I met him. I have been carrying responsibilities way back.”

The actress revealed that they plan to get married soon and she has no issues sharing him with other women.

She said, “We have introduced our families and hope to get married soon. I am an entertainer and I have thought about getting married to him properly. I did not get pregnant by mistake. It was planned and I do not expect to have issues with any of his wives or other baby mamas. I see some comments that I want to snatch Portable but I am not here to snatch anyone. I am just a shareholder and I cannot take care of him alone because I have my career and child. I also want to work more and be famous.”

Responding to critics who often describe Portable as rough, the actress noted that the singer is a caring and understanding partner who is different off the stage. She said, “One cannot judge his personality from his performance because that is what he does for a living and he has to put in his best and energy. As my man, he has always been calm and caring. He is always available when I want to talk to him and he is a great listener. Those are some of the things I like the most about him.”

Also, she spoke about the movies she has produced so far.

She said, “I produced my first movie, ‘Ato’ in 2020. I also co-produced another movie with Juwon Ayorinde titled ‘Iyanje’. I then produced a movie in 2022, ‘Side Chic’ followed by another one, ‘My Relative’, the same year. I also have a new movie about to drop. It is titled ‘Owo Sina.’

At Least He’s Not Stealing – Actress, Bukunmi Oluwasina Reacts To Sylvester Madu Selling Okrika

Bukunmi Oluwasina, a popular Nollywood actress, has reacted to the video of popular Nigerian actor, Sylvester Madu selling second-hand clothes also known as Okrika.

Recall that a Nigerian man with the TikTok handle @ejimaa came across the actor as he was sorting a bale of clothes in the market and filmed a video of him to share on the popular video-sharing platform.

In the clip, the 48-year-old movie star, who is well-known for playing tough characters in movies, is seen arranging his wares and selling them to people.

The video has since gone viral on social media, sparking mixed reactions from netizens, with some claiming that the actor was filming a movie in the market, while others asserted that there is nothing wrong with the actor having a legitimate side hustle apart from acting.

Reacting to the video, Bukunmi Oluwasina stated that the business Sylvester is doing was better than going out to beg or go out to steal.

In her words; “You all have so normalized the fake lives some celebs live on social media that you no longer see the pride and dignity in those who don’t join the trend but rather, choose to be themselves and do whatever they can to provide for their family.

“He is actually better than some of your role models, who borrow designers to take pix and post online, only to return them to the stores they bought them from or their owners.

“And shame on those recording him without his consent and those posting.

“At least he isn’t begging or stealing.

“He could even be on set.

“live and let others live.”
