Nigerian artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, performed recently at the Celestial Church of Christ, Goshen Land Cathedral, in Lagos State.
Portable had been scheduled to perform at the praise night alongside popular Fuji musician, Pasuma, causing a stir on social media. Though the church leader stated that the artiste would no longer perform, Portable insisted he would perform at the church event.
He kept to his words, attended the praise night and thrilled the audience.
Nigerians have however reacted to the development on X, formerly Twitter.
