The Chief Executive Officer of Surprise Pub and Cafe, and organizer, Palmer Omoruyi Legendary Concert, Mr. Matthew Evbakor Oshodin disclosed this to newsmen in Benin.

Oshodin said that the concert, tagged Palmer Omoruyi Legendary Concert, was carefully crafted to honour an Edo-born gospel musical artiste, Deaconess Mrs. Palmer Omoruyi who has over the years blazed the trail and contribute her quota to the development of the state through her talent.
He said those who sing with her and play other instruments are paid by her and this by extension has reduced the level of unemployment in the country.
He said as a man who runs an hospitality business, given recognitions to those deserving individuals should be encouraged and not when they are dead we will begin to sing their praises.

The Surprise Pub and Cafe CEO added that inviting the current serving federal lawmaker, the immediate past and the governorship aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party and former NBA president, Olumide Akpata to the occasion is to let them know that the state is endowed with both human and natural resources that can be harnessed for the well being of all.
He maintained that their presence would further encourage the up and coming artistes in the musical industry that there is dignity in labour.
He said that he is aware that the government alone cannot provide jobs opportunity for the teeming population and that, that is why the lawmakers must work with those in the hospitality business to bridge the wide gap of unemployment in the country.

EditorStreet-pop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was on Tuesday arrested by the Lagos state police command for allegedly failing to settle the debt accrued after purchasing his G-Wagon from a car dealer.
The singer was arrested following his inability to pay the balance of N14 million out of N27 million worth of a G-Wagon car he purchased from a car dealer.
He was said to have paid only N13 million while refusing to pay the N14 million balance.

Before he was taken to the station, the singer had attempted to evade arrest.
In a now-viral video, Portable and several police officers were captured outside a building. Following the presentation of his arrest warrant, the singer attempted to escape by leaping over the gate.
In separate footage, four police operatives were seen grappling with Portable as they bundled him into a waiting vehicle.
Confirming Portable’s arrest to Vanguard, the spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hudenyin, said the singer had been arrested.

“Yes, he’s with us. A vehicle dealer has lodged a complaint against him.
“If he gets a reliable surety, he will be granted bail,” said the police spokesman.
This is not the first time the singer would be arrested. In March of last year, he was apprehended by the Ogun police on allegations of assault.
Portable had previously resisted police attempts to arrest him, and he even referred to himself as “a federal government liability.”

EditorMen of the Lagos state police command have arrested singer Portable. The singer was arrested today May 14 following a petition from a car dealer.
Portable allegedly purchased a G-Wagon worth N27 million from the car dealer, made a down payment of N14 million and took the vehicle away with the promise to pay the balance.
After waiting for a while without any word concerning his balance, the dealer reached out to the singer who claimed the car he purchased had faults. The dealer then asked the singer to return the car or pay the balance but Portable allegedly refused.
