My Mother Died When I Was In School I Didn't See Anybody To Sponsor Me, So I Went To ODC-Portable

Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has revealed how the death of his mother disrupted his education, forcing him to change schools because there was no one left to pay his school fees.

The singer shared the emotional account during an interview on The Honest Bunch Podcast, on Monday, 6 July, 2026, where he reflected on the challenges he faced while growing up. Portable explained that his mother's death marked a turning point in his life, leaving him without the financial and emotional support he needed to continue his education without interruption.

Speaking about the difficult period, the controversial artiste said he had to make tough decisions after losing the person who had always cared for him and ensured his educational needs were met.

"My mother died when I was in school and I didn't see anybody to sponsor me again and the school fees was high so I went to ODC," Portable said.

According to the singer, the financial burden became too much after his mother's passing, making it impossible for him to remain in his former school. He said transferring to ODC became the only option available as he struggled to continue his education despite the hardship.

Portable's remarks provide further insight into the difficult childhood experiences that shaped his journey before he found fame in the Nigerian music industry. Over the years, the singer has spoken openly about his humble beginnings, often crediting his resilience and determination for helping him overcome numerous obstacles.
