Ever since his breakout in 2021, Portable, The Ika of Africa has not let a single part of our internet breathe. With his unmatched sense of humor and his ‘I no send anybody’ energy, you can’t hate this guy. For the record, Portable is not just a street pop artist, but now also a heavyweight champion, his own way of agreeing with the ‘no gree for anybody’ 2024 motto.
2023 was a lot! Some people started and ended the year single while some hilariously created a Class of ‘24, which represents the outrageous number of weddings that will happen this year.
BUT, whether you started the year single, taken or heartbroken or even without a job, we have curated 5 motivational quotes from the Ika himself that you need for this new year.
“Who go help you no go stress you”
Anyone giving you a headache in the name of helping you is not your helper. That’s just Tinubu in Peter Obi’s clothing. Remove your slippers, hit them against each other to remove the evil dust and run. Run and never look back. Your helper will help you without any cost, without a single sweat dripping from your head. Don’t say we didn’t tell you.
“Make money before you love”
In fact, this was meant to be number 1 on the list. If you value your remaining mental health, make money before you embark on or enter any talking stage. Only Portable knows what his eyes saw before he made that statement. Falling in love will test you. Imagine losing your crush just because you replied with ‘It is well’ instead of ‘send your account number’. Getting the bag should be your top priority. Please don’t lose focus.
“Never put the keys to your success in someone else’s pocket”
Please, for the love of whatever name you shout when you wake up from a bad dream, read that statement again and let it sink in your head. You can even make it your daily mantra, yes! That’s how crucial this is. If you make the mistake of letting someone else dictate your happiness or call the shots in your life, so sorry but you’ll be waking up to a new level of shege every day. New day, New pepper! You may even start to lose purpose for that thing you’re so passionate about. Don’t try it!
“Every year na my year”
Yes! Your shine doesn’t have to be periodic. Your big break can be every year. If you made it last year, you can still make it again this year. And if you didn’t, this is another opportunity to give it another shot. This does not apply to people that were served hot breakfast sha. Please take a break, if you don’t pity yourself, we pity you. This year is not another year to receive another round. Try as much as possible to find the love of your life please.
“Dey for anybody wey dey for you”
This one is a 2-in-1 combo. “Dey for anybody wey dey for you. No dey for anybody wey no dey for you”. In other words, ‘Be a friend to your friend and throw a blow to anybody that disturbs your peace’ (We do not support any form of violence). Not exactly what your typical Pastor or Imam would preach on a normal day, but remember our motto for 2024.
You made it into 2024 and that’s a sign that it is going to be a great year for you. Remember that you have the choice of either making it your best or your worst year yet. Don’t give anyone the chance to ruin it for you, set realistic goals for yourself and stick to it religiously, no pressure. Have a great year!

Loveet!
