  Portable breaks down in tears and apologizes again for slapping preacher Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, broke down in tears as he issued yet another apology following a confrontation with a preacher outside his bar. The singer's apology, which is his second in a row, comes after gospel singer Testimony Jaga gave Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologize to the pastor or face unspecified consequences. The controversial street star explained that his reaction was due to a past traumatic experience involving his sister, who was once attacked by someone posing as a pastor. He added that he would not have slapped the preacher if he knew he was a "true man of God." However, in a recent video, Portable is seen on his knees crying profusely, as he expressed remorse for his actions against the preacher.

 Fuel Subsidy Is Back – Obasanjo


Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, revealed that fuel subsidy which was removed by the Federal Government in 2023 has been reintroduced due to inflation.


President Bola Tinubu during his inaugural address on May 29, 2023, had declared that fuel subsidy “is gone.”


The development has led to the increase of petrol price from about N200 to over N600 per litre.


In an interview with the Financial Times, Obasanjo faulted the manner in which the subsidy was removed by the government.


According to him, the government should have implemented some measures before the subsidy removal.


He, however, explained that the subsidy has “come back” due to the inflation rate.


“There’s a lot of work that needs to be done. Not just wake up one morning and say you removed the subsidy. Because of inflation, the subsidy that we have removed is not gone. It has come back,” Obasanjo said.


He also highlighted the need for investor confidence in Nigeria, stating, “You have to go from a transactional economy to a transformational economy.”


Daily Trust reports that some of the demands of the ongoing nationwide protest is reinstatement of the fuel subsidy regime.


But Tinubu, in his Sunday broadcast, ruled out possibility of returning fuel subsidy.


He described the decision to remove the fuel subsidy as painful but necessary, while arguing that it had been a “noose around the economic jugular of our Nation” and had hindered economic development and progress.
