“Repent from sinful ways”, Portable Preach to Bobrisky
Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has publicly called on crossdresser Bobrisky to reconsider her lifestyle and “repent from sinful ways.”
Portable’s remarks come in the wake of a series of legal and personal troubles facing Bobrisky, whose real name is Idris Okuneye.
Reacting to recent developments via Instagram, Portable offered advice to crossdresser Bobrisky, urging her not to consider suicide but instead to repent from her “sinful ways.”
In his message, Portable encouraged the self-proclaimed transgender celebrity to seek forgiveness from God and embrace a path of redemption.
“Bobrisky, life is risky. God does not want sinners to die. Tell him to repent. Damn it to any sinner that does not repent. If you die, you are going to hell. Beg God to forgive you. God does not want a sinner to die,” he said.
“Help me tell Bobrisky to ask God for forgiveness. All Bobrisky needs is to ask God for forgiveness of sin. What Bobrisky is facing now, if he repents, he will enjoy the world. But if he does not repent.”
Bobrisky was released from prison on August 5 after serving part of a six-month sentence handed down on April 12 for her involvement in the abuse of the Nigerian currency, the naira.
Recall her current ordeal began when social media influencer Martin Otse, known as ‘VeryDarkMan’, shared an alleged audio recording online in which Bobrisky purportedly claimed she had bribed officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) with ₦15 million to drop charges against her.
Bobrisky, a prominent social media personality who identifies as transgender, has since denied these accusations.
She dismissed the audio recording as “fake” and insisted that she had not paid any bribe, stating, “I served my term in prison.”
The bribery allegations, however, prompted the EFCC to summon both Bobrisky and Otse for questioning. EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede has also ordered an investigation into the claims, further fueling the controversy.
