Six months after his online dispute over the infamous 'Best Dressed Woman' award at the premiere of filmmaker Eniola Ajao's film, controversial singer Portable has offered advice to cross-dresser Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky.
The singer's advice comes amid contemplation of transvestite suicide over N15 million bribery allegations involving him and some officials of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bobrisky revealed Thursday that the emotional toll of the bribery scandal had led him to contemplate suicide.
He wrote: “I have never thought about suicide in my life, but now it comes to my mind to see what human beings are doing to their fellow humans simply because you want to take them down by force or because I don't like them,” he wrote.
“I don't need anyone's sympathy. The people I might have needed sympathy from are my late parents. But who will fight for you? Friends?”
15 million naira bribery allegations
PREMIUM TIMES reported that social media influencer Martins 'VeryDarkMan' Otse posted on his Instagram page on Tuesday a leaked audio of the transvestite narrating what happened during his six-month prison sentence.
In the leaked audio, Bobrisky alleged that some EFCC officials charged him N15 million to dismiss money laundering charges.

Bobrisky further alleged that human rights activist Femi Falana and his son, singer Falz, contacted him to obtain a presidential pardon for him.
The leaked audio has sparked widespread public outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into alleged corruption within the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS).
The public outcry prompted the Minister of Home Affairs, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, the EFCC, the NCoS and the House of Representatives to launch investigations into the bribery allegations.

Reacting to the publication of the transvestite's suicide, the 30-year-old singer, in a video posted on his Instagram page on Thursday, urged Bobrisky to seek God's forgiveness and repent of his sins.
The 'Zazzu Zeh' singer further warned the transvestite not to commit suicide, noting that he would face eternal damnation in hell.
He said, “Hello, Bobrisky. Life is risky and God does not want the death of sinners. Tell Bobrisky to repent because God does not wish the death of a sinner. Woe to any unrepentant sinner!
“Bobrisky, don't commit suicide by hanging because if you do you will go to hell. Ask God for forgiveness because He does not want the death of sinners.”
The singer urged Bobrisky to find comfort in God, emphasizing that God desires repentance, not the death of sinners.
The musician also advised Bobrisky not to be like a sparrow who refuses to turn his back on his wrongdoings.
“I just want people to know that God does not want sinners to perish. Please help me tell Bobrisky to seek God's forgiveness. If you repent, all your challenges will become a thing of the past and you will enjoy your life. The sparrow did not repent and that is why today it remains a sparrow,” he added.

In April, the EFCC arrested Bobrisky on six counts of money laundering and mutilation of Naira. However, during his trial at the Federal High Court in Lagos, Justice Abimbola Awogboro dismissed the money laundering charges (counts five and six).
Justice Awogboro sentenced Bobrisky to six months imprisonment for Naira abuse, with no option of fine. Bobrisky's six-month jail term began on March 24 and he was released from Kirikiri Correctional Center on August 5.
