The recent news of Portable receiving a 10-year Canada work permit has been met with widespread reactions, both from fans and critics. For Portable, the permit is a significant achievement,

representing a major milestone in his career. It opens up new opportunities for international exposure, collaborations, and performances, which could further solidify his status as a global artist.

Portable’s excitement about the permit is understandable. Canada has a large Nigerian diaspora and a vibrant music scene, making it an ideal destination for artists looking to expand their reach. With the permit in hand, Portable now has the freedom to work and tour in Canada for the next decade, potentially opening the door to a new chapter in his career.

Is Portable Planning to ‘Japa’

The question on many people’s minds is whether Portable is planning to ‘Japa’ a term that has become synonymous with the mass emigration of Nigerians seeking better opportunities abroad.

While Portable has not explicitly stated his intentions to leave Nigeria permanently, his enthusiasm for the work permit suggests that he may be considering spending a significant amount of time in Canada.

For many Nigerian artists, moving abroad offers the chance to escape some of the challenges they face at home, such as political instability, insecurity, and limited opportunities. Canada, with its stable economy, high quality of life, and welcoming attitude towards immigrants, is an attractive option for those looking to build a new life.

However, Portable’s situation is unique. Unlike many who ‘Japa’ in search of better prospects, Portable has already achieved considerable success in Nigeria. His music resonates with a large audience, and his presence in the Nigerian entertainment scene is significant. Leaving Nigeria permanently could risk losing touch with the local audience that has been instrumental in his rise to fame.
