Story Highlights
Kolu Wahala openly appealed to Carter Efe for a 7 million Naira loan during a Twitch livestream on January 16, 2026. The media personality aims to secure the release of singer Portable, crediting the embattled star for his relocation to Lagos and subsequent fame.
Social media personality Kolu Wahala has stunned fans by publicly asking skit maker Carter Efe for a massive financial favour. During a live broadcast on Twitch on Friday, January 16, 2026, the content creator requested 7 million Naira to help secure the release of controversial singer Portable.
This plea comes at a difficult time for the Zazu Zeh crooner, who currently faces serious legal troubles.
Kolu explained that his decision to help stems from a deep sense of loyalty to the singer. Despite their public disagreements in the past, he feels obligated to assist the man who helped him find his feet in the entertainment industry.
Portable played a key role in Kolu’s life story. According to the livestream, the singer was solely responsible for bringing Kolu from Abuja to Lagos. This move gave the media personality the platform he needed to grow his brand and gain popularity.
“Portable brought me to Lagos, I come blow. Na him help my life,” Kolu told Carter Efe during the emotional exchange.
A Debt of Gratitude
Carter Efe appeared surprised by the request and pressed Kolu on why he felt such a strong need to intervene. The comedian noted that Kolu and Portable had not been on good terms recently.
Kolu insisted that their personal issues do not erase the past.
He described the singer as a destiny helper who took a chance on him when no one else did. For Kolu, leaving Portable to rot in jail while he has the means to seek help would be a betrayal of that early support.
The situation surrounding Portable is quite serious. Fans will recall that the singer’s troubles began earlier this week. Reports surfaced that Portable was arrested as baby mama Ashabi Simple calls police following a heated domestic dispute.
This incident escalated quickly, leading to further investigations by the authorities.
Matters became worse when the court made a ruling on his bail conditions. The singer was remanded in police custody over alleged car theft and assault, leaving him in a precarious position.
Kolu believes that raising the 7 million Naira is the only way to meet the stringent bail terms set by the court.
The Cost of Loyalty
The appeal has sparked a debate on social media about loyalty and forgiveness. Many viewers on the Twitch stream praised Kolu for putting aside his pride to help a former friend. Others questioned if Carter Efe would grant the loan.
The comedian did not give an immediate answer during the stream, but the request has certainly put him in a tight spot. Carter Efe has his own history with Portable, which has been filled with both collaboration and conflict.
Observers suggest that this move by Kolu highlights the complex relationships within the Nigerian entertainment scene.
It shows that behind the online drama and skits, there are real human connections and debts that people feel they must honour.
Legal experts note that bail conditions for cases involving assault and theft can be steep. If the 7 million Naira figure is accurate, it suggests the court views the charges against Portable as significant.
Portable remains in custody while his legal team works on a solution.
For now, the public waits to see if Carter Efe will step in or if Kolu Wahala will have to find another way to save his benefactor.
