Protests Unnecessary, Nigeria Is “Okay” – Portable
Despite the economic hardship faced by many Nigerians, controversial singer Portable has spoken out against planned nationwide protests.
A coalition of groups across Nigeria is organizing demonstrations from August 1st to 10th, 2024, to protest the rising cost of living under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
However, in an Instagram post on Thursday, Portable argued that these protests are unnecessary and that those participating are simply jobless.
The singer, while warning that no one should ask him to perform during the protest, attributed the development to laziness.
“It won’t be well with anyone who tells me to perform during the protest. Don’t you have a producer too? You should also collect the mic and join the protest too.
“Please, I need money, I’m hustling. If you take your job seriously, you won’t join the protest. Don’t fight for Nigeria, fight for yourself.
“Nigeria is okay, you are the one who is not okay. There is money in some places, you are the one who did not hustle or not loyal to your helper.
“You are the one who doesn’t make connections. There are people who can help, there are jobs. You are the one who is not working. Fight for yourself,” Portable said.
