He explained that his aim is to build the knowledge and discipline needed to handle his finances, contracts, and royalties efficiently, ensuring his brand and platforms are professionally managed.

Portable emphasised that his return to school is not merely about obtaining another certificate but about acquiring practical skills to run his music enterprise like a seasoned entrepreneur.

The singer, known for his outspoken personality and energetic performances, said education would empower him to take full control of his career and secure a sustainable future in the entertainment industry.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, Daniels revealed that her parents—who had been at odds for years—have reunited in Abuja, where they are jointly working to secure the release of her brother, Sammy, who is reportedly in detention.

“Two concluded sworn enemies reuniting with no negative ulterior motive other than their daughter’s happiness. And I dare question God for putting me in this situation?” she wrote.

Expressing frustration over her brother’s prolonged detention, the actress vowed to do whatever it takes to secure his freedom.

Daniels also spoke fondly of her parents, describing her father as “one of the biggest lawyers back in the day” and her mother, actress Rita Daniels, as a “powerhouse” devoted to her children.

“My father is a lawyer… and my mother? She’s a powerhouse! They would do anything for their children. I love you, mom and dad! This is all I actually ever wanted,” she added.

The post comes amid continued public attention on Daniels’ turbulent marriage to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko.

In October, the actress sparked concerns after a viral video suggested she was experiencing domestic violence. Seen in tears, she lamented: “In Ned Nwoko’s house, I am nothing. But in my house, I am a queen… I can’t stand the violence, it’s too much.”

Nwoko denied the allegations, accusing Daniels of “drug and alcohol abuse” and claiming she needed rehabilitation.

The actress has since vowed to fight for custody and protection of her children.

Daniels’ latest post has stirred public sympathy, with many users celebrating her parents’ reunion and calling for justice in Sammy’s case.
