Portable Blasts Ashabi Simple, Declares He’s Done With Her Forever

Portable has gone on a furious rant against his baby mama, Ashabi Simple, following a serious disagreement between them, declaring that their relationship is completely over. Speaking during a livestream, the singer made it clear that he has no emotional attachment to her anymore and ruled out any chance of reconciliation. “I am no longer interested in you and I can never love you again even if a knife is put on my neck,” he said. Portable also addressed Ashabi’s decision to take the matter to court, stressing that they were never legally married. “I didn’t marry you legally so why are you taking me to court because we had a fight?” he asked. According to him, his only obligation going forward is their children. “The only thing I owe you now is food money for the children. I am done with you.” He went on to warn that her actions would have lasting consequences, adding, “In future you will tell your children that you took their dad to court.” The singer then launched personal attacks, accusing Ashabi of trying to ruin his home. “Shameless woman that got pregnant for someone else’s husband,” he said, alleging she deliberately involved gossip blog Gistlover. “You went to tell Gistlover that you were pregnant for me because you wanted to destroy my home.” Portable ended the outburst with a harsh curse directed at her, saying, “Pami baby it shall not be well with you,” further escalating the already tense public fallout between the pair.

Arsenal Miss Chance To Extend Premier League Lead After Goalless Draw With Liverpool

Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw by Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, missing the opportunity to stretch their Premier League lead to eight points. Liverpool, who have struggled for consistency this season, produced a composed performance that ended Arsenal’s five-match winning streak. The closest either side came to breaking the deadlock was when Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley cleverly chipped Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya following a mix-up with center back William Saliba, only for the ball to bounce off the crossbar. Arsenal managed just four shots on target and looked unusually disjointed, leaving home fans frustrated. Despite the setback, the Gunners still head the table, maintaining a six-point advantage over second-place Manchester City and third-place Aston Villa with 17 games remaining. Both City and Villa drew on Wednesday against Brighton and Crystal Palace, respectively, keeping Arsenal strong favorites for their first league title since 2004. Liverpool remain in fourth place, extending their unbeaten league run to 10 games. The defending champions looked more solid at the back but lacked firepower up front, missing injured strikers Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike, while Mohamed Salah is away with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. Adding to their concerns, Bradley had to be carried off on a stretcher in stoppage time with a suspected ankle injury, casting a shadow over Liverpool’s performance.

Don’t Be Fooled: Ned Nwoko Reacts to Regina Daniels’ Negative Drug Test, Warns Temporary Abstinence Is Not Sobriety

Senator Ned Nwoko has responded to Regina Daniels’ recent post sharing a negative drug test result from abroad, warning that temporary abstinence does not equate to true sobriety. In a statement released by his communication team, Nwoko said: “DON’T BE FOOLED: TEMPORARY ABSTINENCE IS NOT SOBRIETY. Recovery and accountability are not matters for social media posts or public engagement; they require sustained effort, honesty, and professional support.” The statement questioned the circumstances of the recent test, contrasting it with earlier assessments conducted by independent, reputable centres in Nigeria and South Africa, which reportedly documented prior drug and alcohol use. “Presenting a later negative result as proof that no prior use occurred is misleading and disingenuous. At best, it reflects abstinence over a period of time. It does not invalidate earlier medical reports, nor does it negate what necessitated intervention in the first place,” the statement read. Nwoko also addressed attempts to downplay the seriousness of MDMA, saying: “Renaming it does not alter its chemical composition, its risks, or its impact on judgment and stability.” The communication highlighted that the senator had long supported Daniels with structured rehabilitation and professional therapy, noting that temporary or one-off interventions are insufficient. “Long before this matter became public, Senator Ned Nwoko explored every possible avenue to provide support. Denial is never a foundation for sustainable therapy. The first step is to own up to the existing problem,” it added. The statement further emphasised that any drug test, regardless of location, would be scrutinised in court and must be backed by credible, admissible evidence. “It is not time for drama. Any test conducted anywhere in the world will face court scrutiny and should be ready when subpoenaed, to defend results just like the Nigerian and South African labs,” it concluded. This comes amid ongoing public attention on the couple following disputes over alleged substance use and personal issues, with Nwoko calling for accountability, professional support, and focus on reality rather than social media narratives.

AFCON 2025: Wilfred Ndidi Vows to Pay Super Eagles’ Unpaid Bonuses If Government Fails

Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has pledged to personally cover outstanding match bonuses for players and officials at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco if the Federal Government does not fulfil the payments before Saturday’s quarter-final clash with Algeria. Ndidi made the commitment in comments shared by BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji on Thursday, despite assurances from the Federal Government that the funds would be released between Thursday and Friday. “I have been encouraging the team to stay focused and continue training for the Algeria game. I’ve been doing this since our second match,” Ndidi said. “I have now assured the players and staff that I will personally pay the bonuses if the authorities fail to do so before Saturday.” He stressed that financial distractions must not affect the team’s performance, noting that he does not want unresolved bonus issues to disrupt preparations. Reports had earlier surfaced that players and officials were considering refusing to travel to Marrakech or attend training sessions over unpaid bonuses for their group-stage matches and the round of 16. In response, the Minister of State for Finance, Doris Uzoka-Anite, announced that group-stage bonuses had been released and had passed all regulatory approvals. She added that new measures had been introduced to prevent further delays. According to her, the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria have streamlined foreign exchange processes to ensure timely payments, with transfers to players’ domiciliary accounts already underway and expected to reflect between Thursday and Friday. The Super Eagles arrived in Marrakech on Thursday and trained ahead of Saturday’s quarter-final against Algeria. Nigeria are chasing a fourth AFCON title, having previously won the tournament in 1980, 1994, and 2013.

Portable Blasts Wife Bewaji After Begging Her Amid Ongoing Drama With Baby Mama Ashabi

Controversial singer Portable has publicly lashed out at his wife, Bewaji, days after appealing to her during his ongoing clash with baby mama Ashabi. In an emotional rant, the singer insisted he prefers having only one wife but accused Bewaji of neglecting him and pushing him into seeking attention elsewhere. He claimed she failed to check up on him, care for him, or show affection, arguing that such behavior drives men toward other women. According to Portable, when another woman became pregnant for him, he begged Bewaji to forgive him out of respect for their marriage. However, he alleged that she showed no willingness to stay or work things out, despite his efforts. He went further to accuse her of prioritizing her pastors over him, saying she kneels for them but refuses to do the same for her husband, even though he claimed responsibility for training and supporting her. Portable also lectured her on how to keep a man happy, stating that many women outside eagerly care for married men, while wives remain distant and unhappy at home. He warned her to draw closer to him, insisting that although he provides for her financially, she refuses to reciprocate care and attention. The singer even complained about being denied the use of her skincare products, claiming she feared other women would find him attractive, joking that his skin had become darker as a result. The public outburst has sparked widespread reactions online, with many criticizing Portable for airing private marital issues publicly, while others debated his controversial views on marriage, loyalty, and responsibility. This is the first time Portable has publicly dragged his first wife, Bewaji, accusing her of not taking care of him,saying she doesn’t serve him food on time or give him skincare treatments, despite selling creams.

DHQ Renames Armed Forces Remembrance Day to Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day

The Defence Headquarters has officially changed the name of Armed Forces Remembrance Day to Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day. Maj. Gen. Samaila Uba, Director of Defence Information, confirmed the change on Thursday, explaining that it reflects the dual purpose of the event: to honour both serving members of the Nigerian Armed Forces and those who lost their lives defending the nation. “January 15 is set aside each year by the Federal Government to recognise the dedication of active personnel and to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect Nigeria’s territorial integrity and the lives and property of its citizens,” Uba said. He added that the annual event is preceded by a week of activities and concludes with a grand parade and wreath-laying ceremony on January 15. “Previously called ‘Armed Forces Remembrance Day,’ the new name, ‘Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day,’ better captures the essence of the occasion — celebrating the living while honouring the fallen,” Uba explained. The general also urged media organisations to adopt the new name in all future coverage. “We call on the media to use ‘Armed Forces Celebration and Remembrance Day’ in reporting. We appreciate their continued support in the fight against insecurity and look forward to deeper collaboration,” he said. Historically, the event has focused mainly on commemorating fallen soldiers, with wreath-laying ceremonies across the country. The renaming reflects the military’s intention to balance remembrance with recognition of active-duty personnel.
