“Portable Promised Me ₦1m Online but Sent ₦20k Offline”: Woman Cries Out

A woman has taken to social media to call out controversial Nigerian singer Portable, alleging that the artist failed to fulfil a public promise of financial support.

According to her account, Portable had allegedly promised ₦1 million online, a claim she says was made publicly and raised her expectations. However, she alleges that when the actual transfer was made privately, she received ₦20,000 instead.

In a video that has since gone viral, the woman expressed disappointment, stating that the disparity between the public promise and the amount sent made her feel embarrassed and misled. She stressed that while she appreciates any form of help, the issue was about integrity and public accountability, not entitlement.

The allegation has sparked mixed reactions online. Some social media users criticised Portable, accusing him of using generosity for clout, while others defended the singer, arguing that no one is obligated to give money, regardless of promises made online. A third group questioned the authenticity of the claim, calling for evidence of the alleged ₦1 million promise.

As of the time of reporting, Portable has not issued an official response to the accusation. The singer, known for his outspoken personality and frequent online controversies, has often found himself at the centre of social media debates involving fans, critics, and members of the public.

The incident once again raises conversations around social media promises, celebrity philanthropy, and public expectations, especially in an era where online statements can quickly go viral and shape narratives.
