He is ranked in the top five richest Nigerian footballers; and Portable is aware of this immediately he came face-to-face with the superstar.

As they exchanged pleasantries in Yoruba dialect, the ‘ZaZoo Zeh’ crooner cheekily told the 42-cap Nigerian international not to make bank transfer – insinuating he wanted cash gift.

Nigerian outlet Vanguard reports that Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is unarguably one of the most sought-after new faces in the Nigerian music industry today.

Portable “Omolalomi,” gained prominence after the release of his first song ZaZoo Zeh, featuring popular Olamide and Poco Lee.

Football fans in Lagos mob Obafemi Martins

Meanwhile, Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins was mobbed on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria, with a fan claiming the former Inter Milan striker is better than Robert Lewandowski.

‘Obagoal’ remains a household name in Nigeria after he scored 18 goals in 42 appearances for the Super Eagles between 2004 and 2015.

In recent times, he has been spotted at social gatherings in the company of entertainers in his little way to support their careers.

Obafemi Martins played 488 club matches in his career, scoring 183 goals in the process before hanging his boots.

The former Super Eagles coach was in charge of the German Regionalliga team, SV Straelen, for barely two months before announcing his departure.

It was gathered that Fortuna Düsseldorf II defeated Straelen 2-0, with Oliseh utterly upset by his players’ performance during the encounter.
