Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Badmus Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has reacted to Speed Darlington’s allegation that he defeated him in their celebrity boxing match with the help of ‘juju’ (black magic).

In a video posted on social media hours after the fight, Speedy insisted that Portable must have been aided by juju to beat him.

“I don’t know what exactly happened, maybe it was the juju that Portable brought. I wasn’t tired, but my hand got dislocated,” Speedy had said.

However, reacting to the allegation, Portable admitted that he used juju to win the fight. The Zazoo Zeh singer, therefore, challenged Speedy to do the same.

Media personality Frank Edoho has said that he believes most women do not like guys who are nice to them.

The famous media personality shared his opinion during a recent episode of The Black Table on TVC Entertainment.

He explained that he landed his position after reading comments made by women under an article on a blog.

“There was an article I saw on a blog that intrigued me. The topic was, ‘What is that red flag that you admire in the opposite sex? The question was directed at women,” the media personality from ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ fame stated.

On what he observed in the comment section, Edoho explained that, “Although I am of the school of thought that men shouldn’t be nice all the time, the answers I got further my resolve that men should not even be nice at all.

“Women were answering, do you know what I saw? There was one I saw that says, ‘I like it when my man tells me, ‘I don’t want to repeat myself.’ She said it turns her on.

“Others said that they like it when their man waxes them, not extremely, but shows power; it turns them on.

“There are some strange things going on in the minds of these women that you are trying to be nice to. I am not saying all of them are like that but majority of women don’t like nice guys. They want bad guys that are nice to them sometimes.”
