Ossai Ovie Success, Senior Special Assistant on Media to the Delta State Governor, has publicly censured Sound City Radio and Television for what he deemed as an inappropriately attired female presenter.

After images of the presenter wearing a provocative outfit surfaced online, Ossai took to social media to express his disillusionment. “Sound City Radio, I’m appalled by your lack of decorum. Is this the standard of attire for your staff or guests? This is an affront to professionalism and a discredit to the industry. I expect a formal apology,” he wrote on Facebook.

Ossai’s post ignited a heated online discussion, with many weighing in on the importance of sartorial professionalism in the media. While some concurred that media organizations should maintain certain standards, others countered that fashion choices are a personal matter and should not define a professional’s competence.

Sound City Radio has yet to respond to the criticism, but the incident has rekindled the debate on dress codes in Nigeria’s media industry and how organizations strike a balance between self-expression and workplace ethics.

The elder sister of Nigerian singer, songwriter, and rapper Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has publicly apologized to Nigerians for his controversial behaviour, alleging that a family member is spiritually influencing his actions.

In a viral video circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter, the woman identified herself as Portable’s elder sister and expressed gratitude to the singer for his generosity. She revealed that he had supported her during a critical health challenge, ensuring her treatment and recovery.

She accused a certain family member, identified as Akeem, of being responsible for Portable’s erratic behavior. According to her, Akeem has also been targeting her, and she urged the public to hold him accountable if anything happened to her or the singer.

In her words:

“People of Nigeria, I greet you. Regarding my younger brother, I am his elder sister, the first child of his mother. She gave birth to three children.

Portable has never stolen. No one helped us in the past, but when he started making money, he took care of us.

I’ve never spoken out like this before, and he hasn’t even posted me despite being his sister. When I had health issues, Portable sent money for my treatment, even while he was in London.

Portable is the one taking care of the family. If not for him, I would have died.

If anything happens to me, Akeem is responsible. He is the one influencing Portable, making him misbehave and offend Nigerians.”

Following the video’s circulation, Nigerians took to the comment section to express their opinions:

@smdd150: “She urges Nigerians to understand that Portable is not inherently a bad person and that his actions are being influenced by external forces.”

@ndictmedia: “Portable’s elder sister has just stated the obvious here. We don forgive Portable already, the family member should calm down with the superficial powers first.”
