According to a Twitter user, Portable is doing a fantastic job, unlike other celebrities who put less effort into pushing brands.

"Portable was just made the brand ambassador of Odogwu bitters less than 48 hours ago but check how many videos he posted advertising this product. Check other celebrities and how often they advertise brands they 'represent' and you'll see the difference.


He's basically selling it like it's a mix tape. He took it to the hood to sample it to his hood boys. With such dedication and passion for a brand, more brands would want to invest in him. Every business wants value for their money."

I was 13weeks pregnant when I started this course, people had so many doubts because they thought being pregnant and studying Nursing in the UK is the most difficult thing anyone would do especially if you haven't found your way around yet. I got to a point where i began to have doubts and questioned my decision.

At this point i knew I had to work harder, to prove myself to the people who had doubts, even to my university who thought that deferring my admission was my best bet. Anyways I had to put in the work and trust me it was a lot of hard work.

Throughput my studies i went through pregnancy, newborn, toddler I did what I had to, just to show that women can achieve whatever they put their mind to irrespective of the circumstance. Being pregnant and able to hold your child is a gift and should feel like it. To everyone/women keep pushing and trust your hardwork will pay off.

Today I celebrate my myself on becoming a Registered Nurse. "
