Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is set to release an extended play project called “Chosen One” . He shared a sneak peek of one of the tracks on his Instagram page, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.
Portable’s announcement comes at a time when the Nigerian Pentecostal Church, Chosen Revival Ministries, is trending, and it seems like he’s riding the wave . The singer is known for his catchy tunes and headline-grabbing antics, so this new project is likely to be just as attention-grabbing.
The teaser post was accompanied by artwork inspired by the viral ‘I am a Chosen’ trend.
In the song, Portable, famed for his hit Zazoo Zeh, boasts of his financial contributions to both Christian and Islamic causes, claiming these efforts would guarantee him a place in heaven.
The announcement has already sparked conversations across social media
I’ve been to church where they wear casual dress/ I’ve been to a white garment church/ I’ve attended Cherubim, rolled on the floor/ Even though you attend Celestial you may not become a celeb/ I am a glory of the celestial/ Be careful/ I’ve rang bell for seven churches/ I’ve attended seven churches/ I’ve been to seven mountains/ Shouted seven hallelujah,” he sings in a mixture of Yoruba and English language.
“I bought instruments for churches/ My life will be good/ God of Osoffa do not let me be hot by world arrow/ I’ve helped in the construction of churches/ I’ve helped provided light for churches and mosques/ I will make heaven.”
Portable shot to fame in December 2021 with his breakout single Zazoo Zeh featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.
